1570 or 1527

[jdshredhead]

should i get an rg 1570 or 1527 is my first question and my second question is should i get a guitar or a car first...i'm about to turnj 17

Well, a car would be nice actually but it is more expensive with registration, insurance and of course gas, etc, but if you want a guitar I'd say the 1527 hands down because it is a 7-string.

[jdshredhead]

yeah i'm soo torn
you can get screwed in the back of a car but not the back of a guitar... but i love guitar

[damo7v]

if you're debating buying a guitar or a car, then you're probably talking about a fairly rank automobile, and certainly not the kind that entices women into the backseat.

you'd do better impressing them with some fancy guitar work and then making use of their backseat.

[jdshredhead]

no i dont mean for the same price...i mean saving the money i have saved for a guitar and going on to get a vehicle..i'm not an idiot haha...still torn tho

I just got a 1570 and its great.

Example One:
Buy a car, 5 years down the line it's worth jack schmit.

Example Two:
Buy a good amp. 5 years down the line it's worth pretty much the same.


Buy a piece of junk that'll get you from A to B, and then spend the rest on gear

I'd go for the 1570 since i'm not too fond of 7-strings anymore (i do own one and it sounded crap in a rehersal - pickups or something). Plus 6-strings are easier to learn on etc.

Do you need a car? Would you really like a car which you can buy with the same amount of money as an RG?

Do you really need another RG 6/7?

Can you afford the extra insurance?

You're in a similar(ish) position to me; at the moment i've got all of my money on a top of the range workstation keyboard (my first one) which I know I should buy as I should learn to play keys, and I want to use it for composition (i'm also starting a Uni Degree next year), i'm buying it next week. This is what I should buy in my head.

But i'm also considering buying a Peavey cab for my JSX and a large selection of stomp boxes that i've been GASsing over for ages. I'd be awesome to have the cab and pedals, but in the long run I bet i'd wished I'd bought the Keyboard .

RG1527 hands down.

[jdshredhead]

Get the car that way when you have enough money for a guitar you can go and get it yourself instead of having your mommy and daddy take you.

[jdshredhead]

well yeah and i need a way to get around too..maybe i will go for the guitar...grr i dont know...my rents say car, but my friends say guitar ..and i don't want to have to give my bum friends rides everywhere anyways.., but i guess that'll happen either way

[Xavier 7]

No, get the car. Seriously.

Without a car you'll have a nice guitar but you won't have any means to go and get a job - unless you want to bike everywhere - and without a job you won't have the money to buy a nice amp. Unless you want mommy and daddy to drop $1000 - $2000 for one and be called the little spoiled kid by the friends who are telling you to get the guitar.

[jdshredhead]

no dude i have a job....its part time but i'm a really good saver and i already got myself a decent amp.. its just the guitar...i live in a fairly small city too..81 000 people so i dont need to drive far to get to work or i can bus it..its just i really want a 7 string with a floating trem cuz me and a couple of my buddies are gunna make a band and a six string is great but not too long from now i'm going to NEED that 7th string
