Anyway, I'm not always going to be ranting, in fact I'll try to make them few and far between. I know most people aren't fond of being raged at on a topic that I feel strongly about and won't rest until the argument is won. Uh oh, I'm getting started again, so let's find something to hold me back.
Aha, music again. I normally wouldn't actually write a blog like this, as I know I wouldn't commit. But this blog's special, in that I'm getting paid to do it. Paid! YES! MONEY! AHAHAHAHA!! No, but seriously, I really am getting paid for this. Every post I make gets me some coins to rub together, which I could easily go spend down at the shops, or to buy some sort of weird watergun that can shoot lemon juice or something strange like that. But that's not what I'm saving up for, though I know more than one person at my school I'd like to see writhing at the floor in pain whilst clawing their eyes, me standing over them with my Lemon-Shooter 5000. I shouldn
't mention that they're mostly teachers I want to spray in the face. Ups, too late. Anyhow, the thing I want to buy is the most beautiful thing in the world (at least to me). It will take a while to rack up the money for it, but I know it's one of the only things that could keep me committed to something like this.
Feast your eyes on this b-e-a-uty.
Tell me that isn't one of the most deliciously beautiful guitars you've seen in your life and you'll receive a slap in the jaw. Yeah, that's right, I'll come and slap you through the PC screen. Don't think there isn't a way to, either. I've done it before. Seriously, though, you have to admit you'd be crazy not to want one, even if you can't play guitar for camel dung and only want to display it in your front room so that visitors fall into the couch and sit there all day, dribbling into their laps over the magnificent specimen in front of them. Wouldn't you take this to the Louvre and ask them to place it in the Mona Lisa's stead? Personally I honestly believe it's that aesthetically pleasing and I am never going to leave it out of my sight once I've got one.
*Cough, cough.* Sorry, I was on a spree there. I suppose you want to know what the guitar actually IS. You don't? Tough balls, you're going to have to sit tight and listen. It's an Epiphone Les Paul Standard. It sounds pretty decent, with its two humbucking pickups and the Gibson way of making their guitars produce any tone for any genre. Buzzing (or feedback) is cut out thanks to those pickups, and it has a three-way pickup selector, with 22 frets, mahogany neck and a mahogany-alder body. Also put together expertly thanks to the fact that Gibson, the mother and creator of the Les Paul model, bought Epiphone and pretty much sell less expensive and less prestigious versions of Gibson's guitars. From the reviews I've read, it's got good durability and won't have pickups coming apart like my current guitar does.
Not that my current guitar sucks or anything, it's actually a really nice one for heavier rock sounds. Here is my first and current one, a Schecter Blackhawk:
That one's got a black finish, ignore that. Mine is sunburst (the same type of finish as the Les Paul). I actually quite like my guitar, it's good-looking, three-way pickup selector, two humbuckers, 24 frets, etc etc. But nothing can beat the prestige of having a Les Paul.
Nothing.
