hey guys...
i wanna get myself a new guitar, a small practice amp, and the usual accessories.
i really like the les paul shape - so i was interested in the ibanez or epiphone ranges of guitars.
i'm in joburg - where is the best place to go have a look???
i've already been matts music in the strubensvalley area. and i've visited the toms and marshall websites.
anywhere else i should be looking???
I do not imply any criticism of other establishments by saying this, but you should pop into Andy McGibbons Guitar World in Randburg.
Don't be too hung up on the shape. Go for something that feels and sounds good to you. Maybe think of players who have a sound that you like - but always remember that buying the kit is not the entire solution. I could play Mark Knopfler's guitars, but I wouldn't sound a lot like Mark Knopfler.
Generally try out several dealers if you can. No two of them will have the same range.
