purplefrodo Posted April 13, 2004 Report Share Posted April 13, 2004 Have played acoustic for 2 years and am looking to invest in electric. Guitar wanted is an ibanez destroyer pref. with amp and lead...price must befit a poor student-type. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Posted April 15, 2004 Report Share Posted April 15, 2004 which destroyer do you mean?there is a 'mini' destroyer that ibanez are currently making (or were a year or two ago anyway) and there is also the full sized one that isnt in production anymore (theres a full size one on bruce millers wall, above and to the left of the guitar desk, its not for sale though)David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N.M Posted April 15, 2004 Report Share Posted April 15, 2004 I do believe that RnB had a few destroyers on their wall a while back. Don't know if they are still in stock there though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

imprinted Posted April 16, 2004 Report Share Posted April 16, 2004 plus look at laney or behringer for guitar amps as they seem to be the companies that give you the most value per pound at the moment if you're on a budget...still nothing quite beats a good marshall/fender/mesa/whatever does it?

Tav Posted April 16, 2004 Report Share Posted April 16, 2004 Laney TF of amplifier range is a good choice for the money. You really don't want to buy a small solid state practice amp as it is never going to sound remotely good. At least with a TF there is a valve in their which helps out with the sounds and they've got plenty features/good enough sound for the cash.

Tav Posted April 16, 2004 Report Share Posted April 16, 2004 Originally posted by Mouse:Yes do! That was a nice natural wood one you posted up there Tav Yeah but for 400 I am sure you could find a better guitar than that. I do like the finish though the shape doesn't appeal to me. If you are going for an explorer shape it really has to be the ESP one like Mr Hetfilds. Not the new ESP one mind the one based on the Gibson...which again is also a nice explorer shape...

I like the Ibanez Destroyer and the Gibson Explorer, but for 400 I'd by a mid-price Pacifica!Oh yeh the one that is on the wall at Bruce Millers is also one of Adrian Smiths (not the one in the picture above) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
