classical vs acoustic vs electric guitars

smelv1n	Date: April 24, 2002 @ 9:25 PM i'm bored and feel like doing a bunch of these vs threads. which kind of guitar do you prefer?
backmann	Date: April 25, 2002 @ 12:00 AM It depends. Each one is for a different kind of music. Take a look at 'Spanish Guitar' by Slash's Snakepit. Slash is known for having always used a Gibson Les Paul, but this track sounds excellent. Or, if not, listen to Innuendo, of Queen, and see the difference between them.

smelv1n	Date: April 25, 2002 @ 5:21 PM go plastic!!! my friend got this wicked awsome plastic guitar from the dollar store, actually, he got two. and one lunch we smashed them up good in the hall, it was awsome, they exploded into a million pieces, then this fat funny loud kid came running by, and we gave him the other guitar, and he shouted some nonsense, and ripped off a string, grabbed it by the string swung it around and SMASHED IT GOOD, yea...that's my story, it was radical!
pog	Date: April 25, 2002 @ 6:14 PM A bit hard to compare, these... I love the sound of my Classical guitar for spanish and medievil sorta stuff, And accoustic is awsome for Folk songs or Rock ballads. I like using electrics with a floating trem for Heavy Metal and Rock, non-floating trem is good for slide, punk. So I guess my answer is... they all win
smelv1n	Date: April 25, 2002 @ 8:12 PM THEY ALL LOSE! GO PLASTIC PIECE OF SHIT!
pog	Date: April 26, 2002 @ 8:44 AM Nah, man... They go outta tune too easily, and they don't have a model in my style.
creativetim	Date: April 26, 2002 @ 1:01 PM all guitars rock, screw you all I reign supreme
furiousBall	Date: August 4, 2003 @ 12:26 PM my two year old has a toy guitar that will definitely find it's way onto one of my tracks eventually
Etheracide	Date: August 4, 2003 @ 12:39 PM Smelvin is cheating. Plastic wasn't even one of his options.
dsch	Date: August 4, 2003 @ 5:55 PM I agree with Pog. Different guitars work better in different contexts. Peter, Paul, and Mary would sound really strange using electric. Castelnuovo-Tedesco's works would sound wrong using anything other than classical. Whereas any self-respecting heavy metal group wouldn't touch an acoustic, for sheer lack of volume. It just depends on context.
milladrive	Date: August 4, 2003 @ 10:43 PM lol@Tim. I agree with dsch agreeing with pog. ...altho I'm sorta partial to acoustics these days. ...with Florentine cutouts. heh
leflaw	Date: August 5, 2003 @ 12:17 AM PLASTIC: True. I have an extremely rare valuable plastic Maccaferri guitar, the same maker who made Django Rheinhart's guitar. It is awesome,. Always in tune, perfect intonation, very even sounding, although the bass sounds like shit.
GeneHilbert	Date: August 5, 2003 @ 12:34 AM Depends on what you are playing - style wise. I taught myself to play on a Classical. I've always love the tone of the nylon strings. But they sound like shit blasting through a cranked Marshall. So.... chose you weapons wiselly.
jeffyeakel	Date: August 5, 2003 @ 1:21 AM What about key-tars?
Tudris	Date: August 5, 2003 @ 2:37 AM All of them are great. It just depends on what you need. But it's probably best to learn on an acoustic; you have to press down on the strings harder or they'll buzz. By the time you get to an electric, it'll play like butter.
pog	Date: August 5, 2003 @ 8:07 AM I rusty strings on an old accoustic guitar with really high action... but then again a floating tremelo through a nasty amp with ultra light strings... oooh then there's the parker fly.
pog	Date: August 5, 2003 @ 8:10 AM ...did I mention ovation....
victorsskull	Date: August 5, 2003 @ 9:21 AM I agree with pog on that old shit guitar thing
PaBlikMM	Date: August 5, 2003 @ 9:50 AM I love acoustic guitars ... but when i have to make my song kicking ass i use ELECTRIC GUITAR with any shredder distortion :lmoa:
Cryxan	Date: August 5, 2003 @ 5:42 PM Acoustic, but I'm biased. I'm surrounded by them.
Acumen	Date: August 5, 2003 @ 6:10 PM i'm like most people when they say that each guitar are good for certain occasions... they serve their own purpose.
GeneHilbert	Date: August 5, 2003 @ 10:28 PM I hate Ovation's .... I'm always chasing the damn things.
billhudson	Date: August 6, 2003 @ 11:38 AM Well for years I have been playing accoustic guitars. If you go to my web site you can see my old 68 Gibson. Was re -freted 3 times and looks like its been around. Have been trying other makes of guitars but it always seems to go back to Gibson's for me. I think there are no lines between music. Its funny, but between musicians I always find we don't see it as classical vs acoustic vs electric . Its music and not sports. Still Pickin' Bill H.
PaBlikMM	Date: August 7, 2003 @ 4:30 PM i agree with Bill ... it depends on the music style you play ... if you play rock you use the el. guitar, if you play classical music you use the classical guitar and if you play folk then you use? ... and the winner is the acoustic guitar
pog	Date: August 7, 2003 @ 8:25 PM I play rock and metal, but I use a classical guitar... does that make me wrong And you forgot for metal, you use and electric, for punk, you'd you a hollowbody, for blues, you'd use a stratocaster, or a telecaster... all getting a bit stereotypical, isn't it ??
jackmystery	Date: August 8, 2003 @ 8:01 PM Jonathan." id="57929">whats the difference between them? I got me a fender bullet. the sales guy said "hey man this is made of poplar. This is the shit that dreams are made of." "Who wants a swamp ash body? Hell it was laying about in some nasty bog. Besides I'll sell you this for 3 cents." Jonathan.
