Hey guys, I played a bit 20years ago! I had a crappy budget guitar, but I started picking up some basic songs! Exams, then military, then family happened, somehow I’m now 36 and starting to think in my down time I want to have something, I love rock music, especially classic rock and would love to give it another shot.
I am blown away by all the tech now, and I have 100% decided on a PRS guitar, love the short history and I like what Paul himself has to say!
Could do with a bit of help, at first I was just happy to pick up some second hand beater, now i have dove in!
So
Do I want a tremolo? Or at the price point I am looking at is that going to cause me tuning issues?
Custom 24 or 24/08 maybe?
SE CE custom 24?
SE 245? - no tremolo sounds good but I hear mixed reviews about tone.
SE Paul’s guitar - looks and sound incredible but is it was a couple hundred more?
McCarty 594 - too classic in sound? I like the fixed bridge but for similar money is the Paul’s guitar the better option?
I will be playing / learning mostly chilled rock, led zeppelin, foo fighters, oasis, the usual must learn tracks as well lol.
Sorry I am a noob in terms of pick ups, coils etc etc, I am basically looking for something that’s going to sound great but is affordable and will last me 4 years happily and if I am still playing and in love, my 40th will be a core or something lol!!!
