Yay, I just bought my first electric guitar on the 26th! Fender Strat, for two hundred, and a fender bullet amp for two hundred sixty! Fifteen different built in effects! SO COOL!

quality. my first 'axe' was a Strat (not a genuine fender, though). lovely guitars. i've got a Les Paul now, plays well, sounds good, but it doesn't sit in your lap comfortably like a strat does.

speaking of FX, have you heard the Line6 POD? they've got one in the studio I use and I love it!

It's a multi effect unit designed for guitars. It has a tuner, several distortions, choruses, delays, amp simulations and flanger. They come either as a footswitch unit, a 19.5" rack unit or integrated into a Line6 guitar amp.

They're quite common, go down to your local music shop and try one.

I'd go for the Wah if I were you, Ring Modulation's a mad effect, but i think it's much better suited to beats than guitars.

...got my Talk Box now, and it's sweet.smiley - biggrin
