Re: What is the best guitar?

There's no one guitar that's right for everyone Dan. First off there's the sound you want - a jazz guitarist will want a completely different tone from a blues player. Now no doubt a guitar could be tricked up to deliver both with pedals and modelling etc but it's about ease of use. Second there's feel. What may be a good shape for your friend will dig into your hip and make your fingers ache.

This is why I recommend you always go to the shop and hold the instrument and always plug in and listen to it. Even within a set make and model two very similar guitars can differ enough for you to say 'Not sure about that one but I'd buy this'.

The one your comfortable and happy playing. Everyone has opinions on what is best but they might not fill your needs. Play as many ones as you can before you choose and then play them again. You'll know when you find the one you can't put down.

Re: What is the best guitar?

Before you buy the Melody maker check out a Michael Kelly Patriot Q series guitar. For $ 45.00 american more you get more guitar for your money. They are set neck not bolt on type, a quilted maple top with bindings and abloney inlays. The pickups are humbuckers but are wired for split coil so you can get the single coil pickup sound. That's my just a suggestion you'll have to play both side by side to make the comparison. Check out the Michael Kelly website
(www.michaelkellyguitars.com) for the guitar specs.

Good luck.

The best guitar is the one you feel right playing.

Do The Razorbacks have a Glued-on neck, or a bolted on one?
