What kind of guitar?

[FAYAFOX]

Thinking of picking this one up but I cant decide what guitar to buy. Can you guys recommend a good guitar for a beginner...I only played acoustic before.

I picked up a cheap Ibanez with one. It kinda sucks for this game, but is otherwise ok.

Washburn R10

Schecter is pretty good

Squire Bullet Strats are cheap and servicable. You have the added bonus of having a nice platform to experiment with(replacing components on the guitar) once you start getting better.

I agree with the fender Bullet Squire and epiphone
But the neck I picked up for my squire of old really had some questionable quality control with the frets

I bought the original Rocksmith bundle with an Epiphone Les Paul Junior (it is a full size guitar) - this guitar is perfect for a beginner, it has a nice tone and a slim neck. It does only have 1 humbucker rather than the 2 on Les Paul Studio for example, but you won't be disapointed. :-)

If you really wanna learn an epiphone les paul standard is the best bet. And works great with Rocksmith.

I use an Ibanez for main tuning (Has Floating Bridge). But I grab my ole Best Buy Special (Gibson Maestro) for drop tuning. But I agree with Floating tuners... if you only have 1 guitar for this game, don't make it a floater. But I LOVE the sound and feel of my Ibanez!

I actually started with the Rockbnand 3 real Squire Controller. I did not like the feel then i bought a Epiphopne Les Paul Special II from Craigslist then i bought a Squire 51' and that is the guitar i like the most. I still want a squire strat and a tele and a Les paul custom eventually.

I'd say get a cheap squire from a pawn shop, about $70.00 used on average. If you are on a budget, if not get something in a full scale. Fender/Squire have comfortable necks to most if your going to play long sessions. For speed, a good Ibanez or Jackson that is professionaly setup with light strings and low action.

When in doubt, you can always go to guitar center (or your areas equivelent) and try a bunch out till you find whats right for your style and skill level.

There are ways to make a floyd rose with locking nut easily tuned, but requires blocking the trem and defeats the purpose they were designed for. I do primarily use floyd rose equiped guitars for the game, but I have many in different tunings to choose from.

I play acoustic. So to keep with the acoustic feel ( High action, high tension acoustic strings ) I use my Yahama Silent Guitar ( Steel-string version ).
