electric guitar

I would go with the fender myself. I always wanted a fender strat and once had the ultimatum to choose either a fender squire strat or a Mongoose freestyle bike (before mongoose sold out)...


Needless to say I ended up going for the Bike but to this day wish I went for the guitar. I was in the 6th grade though as well...so for me getting around the neighborhood a little easier was more on my mind. lol

As far as Peavey products are considered. I'm not generally knowledgable on the guitar end of things but I know their Pro audio ( Dj/pa ) stuff is great. I'd reccomend their stuff to anybody.

Yeah I'd prefer a Peavey PA before I get another amp from them. I had the 5150 amp and it was ok, but nothing amazing. My current amp though is just what I've dreamt of. I was playing it last night and I set my V up with heavier strings and detuning and man, it just roared with such feirce power.

HAHA no 65. 65 is too much tension. My V is a long scale neck so I dont need as much tension. However on my ESP Les Paul I need a 60 since it's a short scale neck. But man the tone and roar I heard last night. I felt like a prom queen again! :eek: And yes, It's in B.

Atta boy! Grim it up!


(I had to drop from 70's to 65 to get the tension right on the Viper - but it's got some chest-thumping chunkitude)

Oh ok. A Viper is short scale like my Les Paul. So A 65 I can see. I'd probably go with a 58 or 60.

Either would be far easier to play that's for sure - but for that Sabbath/Runemagick deeeeeeep doooooomy drone . . . .

You'd want a lil slack in the strings. It'll be more doomy. To me if it's too tight it wont sound like it's tuned down.

Haha truuuuust me - you can still bend the lowest notes appreciably - there's more than a little slack.
