Now you can buy ALL THE GUITARS
I actually bought two Yamaha DXR10s for use with my old setup (using a Laney Lionheart, Suhr Reactive Load and a Torpedo CAB), just a fortnight ago. I had a feeing I'd make the switch and knew they'd work just as well with the Axe FX too. So I'm very happy, as you can imagine!What are you playing your Axe through? You might treat yourself to some nice FRFR wedges.

I think you guys are right, it's got to be guitar GAS from now on...just the way it should be!
I reckon my next guitar will be a Suhr, but I'm not sure (there's a pun in there, 'SUHRely') if I want a Classic Pro or a Modern Pro. Ideally the next one will have a single coil in the neck and a HB in the bridge, so I'm not sure.
What niches are you referring to? I'm interested. I can't think of anything else I need now I have the Axe FX, genuinely. I'm not going to go out and buy 5 guitars...it'll take a while to save for one Suhr. Hell, maybe I'll properly "save" now instead of that pretend saving that I lie to myself about!The argument that an Axe-FX is sufficient to solve all signal processing needs strikes me as inherently ridiculous. There are numerous products that are much better for specific niches, and if one needs them, he or she should act accordingly and buy. Diverting GAS into guitars is the biggest waste of money that I can imagine, one needs no more than a handful of guitars [for musical reasons], and any extra energy should be steered into the only thing that ultimately matters, and that's regimented practice. Am I wrong?! (This seems so obvious.)
...Am I wrong?!...
The tone knob is the most neglected thing in the guitar world. People forget it's there. But it can turn an ice pick into a velvet caress.At first I thought it was too bright but then I realized the trick with them is to use the tone control rather than just turning it all the way up like you normally would.
There are absolutely fantastic guitars that can be had for cheap. Once you get over the need to have the "legendary" name or the "right" headstock, and start asking your hands/ears/eyes to evaluate the guitar instead, a whole world of opportunity opens up in front of you.Other people would think buying lots of cheap guitars is ridiculous as opposed to buying one or two good ones. I like to find good-playing, resonant MIM Strats on the used market (in a color I don't already have), and then drop good electronics in them.

Blue Chip > Red Bear. That's all I'm sayin! LolCaught myself researching boutique picks last week. BOOTEEK PICKS! Seriously?
Yep, I'm convinced GAS is incurable. Thought it was cured with the FX8 and AX8, hadn't Jones'd for a pedal in over 2 years. Caught myself researching boutique picks last week. BOOTEEK PICKS! Seriously?
