Mine stays in tune ( I must have tuned it a month or so ago and it's still in tune ) and it's a piece of shit generic floyd rose

I saw that guitar at the local guitar store the other day and I was wondering if it were conducive to any particular style of play.

It was so...shiny...

Also, is Ibanez any good? I'ma need to get a good classical guitar...I just have a cheap buzzy Kima.

That depends only on how expensive it is but get a takamine instead

It's intended for jazz playing, it has that lovely warm tone.
I like Ibanez, I know lots of people don't though, I can't see why :/

I have an Ibanez AF75 i got from my old instructor for a bargain and it's not bad. Ibanez don't really make the best guitars, but they're cheap.

i've been using my fake strat for ages (didnt even have a name so i got a fender transfer and put it on) and it sounds plays and feels great

best thing about strats is that you can sometimes find really good cheap copies

Unfortunately they have to be around -- it's not like you can purchase guitars off ebay. Well you can, but I really need to test out instruments before I buy them. I live next do a dozen thrift stores though so I'll see what I can find.

Mince, any reason to get a Takamine instead of an Ibanez?

to get a decent ibanez guitar you have to spend entirely too much money.

that being said i like the artcores and the AX series.

You can also spend a lot of money on a fender and not be able to play it so it doesn't matter

I've got a pretty decent Ibanez something that I traded for a ps2 slim a while back, but currently I'm in need of a new amp cause my old one just like fuzzed out on me.

I'll have to wait until next pay I guess, but I'm getting hardly any hours this time around like I had 3 days off, worked the other day and got another 3 days off. I'm probably going to ask for more shifts if that shit keeps up.

Four words: Magic the Gathering cards.

With a good e-bay account and the proper training, you could start a career as a professional player and make a salary that multiplies that initial investment.

Didn't read responses, so dunno if this was said.

How to spend 400 dollars:

1. Open brokerage account.

2. Buy one or two of the following stocks tomorrow: ARDM @ .20 , QTWW @ .87, CBIS @ .45, CTIC @ 1.68

3. Wait about 2 weeks. Sell previously purchased stock for 30 % gains.

4. Take now what has turned into $520 and buy an LCD TV, use TV to watch stock movements like it's a video game. (which it is.)

EDIT: I see that you already spent all your money. Oh well. Advice still stands for remaining balance.
