  • you look like Paul Mcartney

  • @uv77re ok calm down so all guitars have 6 strings and loudness doesn't depend on the pickups being big it's on how many watts your amp is also your pick ups are small means it's a single coil and not a humbucker that's all humbucker is a chunkier sound i have a stratocaster it's all single coils it's bright and really nice warm tones if you like this go for a stratocaster if not and you like the bigger pick ups go for a epiphone or a Gibson if your lucky

  • I've seen a really nice guitar i like but it only has 5 strings, my friends has 6 and i think the one in your video does too! Do you think i should buy this guitar? Is it faulty with only 5? The store owner said i could buy an extra string but i'm not sure if i should believe him! Also it has smaller pickups to my friends does this mean that it is not as loud? I'm confused as to what to do because i really like the colour of it but don't want to waste my money if it may be damaged or inferior?

  • Ty for a great Leason on buying a guitar I now own a ES-335 from Gibson and it rocks...

  • @DarkTuga96 thank you

  • @devilgloom epiphone

  • can anyone tell me what's the brand of that guitar?

  • @nastyguard007 its true,but i dont think a begginer really needs a marshall 200 watt amp..

  • @dunavidrava I wouldn't say that huge Marshall/Orange/Vox cabinets and heads are inexpensive...

    Much like with guitars - the amp prices can vary.

  • What's the best affordable electric guitar?
