And I screen grabbed...
A bunch of stuff.
And Steve and I are going to tackle these questions and try to help our fellow guitarists.
So this first one from u slash c5245.
What a funny name.
So clever.
Do you think they picked that? oh i i think it's uh it's a name near and dear to their heart that's a reference to you know their favorite form of pop culture so anyways should i mod my guitar or save up to get a better one this was posted one day ago it has 18 comments i didn't screen grab the comments so You're only going to hear comments from Steve and I.
I didn't want to be corrupted by other people's input.
So they say, about a year ago, I got an Ibanez Geo, and a few months after, I got a DSL040CR.
We all know that one.
I'm surprised his username is not named after that.
I'm currently debating whether I should upgrade the pickups on my Geo or just save my money for another year or so and get a better guitar.
I don't know what my fantastic...
I don't know what my... fanatical situation would look like in a year.
But if I decide to save and just buy a new guitar, I'll probably aim to get something in the 600 to $800 range in terms of pedals.
I think I'm set for the meantime.
I got a basic loop and I'm looking to buy some pretty good used overdrive for 10 bucks.
So I didn't need to read the back half of it.
Cause I just want to talk about the guitar, not his pedals.
Sure.
I want to know where, what used overdrive he's getting for 10 bucks.
