I never talk about equipment or technical information on here because really, who would care except for a bunch of other photographers?Guitar stuff is different.
After a great deal of hemming and hawing I decided to buy a new electric guitar and amp for the first time in quite awhile. I settled for an Epiphone Les Paul and a Fender VibroChamp XD. If you're a real guitar geek you'll think my choice of guitar is way too low end but it sounds great and is amazingly well intonated, which if you don't know basically means it plays in tune. What's more if you light it properly it looks really cool and mysterious, as you can see above. Yup, that's my actual guitar.
As for the amp, it's a small tube/solid state hybrid which is a relatively new kind of design. It sounds very warm and 'up front' as they say.
I bought this stuff at Cosmo Music and thought I'd give them a plug because they offered some useful advice and didn't high pressure me or sneer when I ended up buying a guitar that's not close to being the most expensive you can get. Not only do they have tons of guitars of every type they have keyboards, drums, brass and woodwind instruments, you name it.
No, they didn't give me the guitar and amp for free in exchange for this post. Of course if they want to give me another guitar....
