an old early 70's cort electric (i'm pretty sure it's not the same company as the new ones)that i have tuned open with a 57, 47, and 37,
Are you sure that guitar can handle such high string guages? Must be quite a strong neck to withstand that kind of strain.
I've been playing guitar for several years now and really I just cannot live without playing guitar. I get to play all the fancy technical stuff including the blistering Satch/Vai style solos down to the Stevie Ray Vaughn style rhythm. I am yet to come across a song (within reason) that I cant play on guitar yet
But to be fair, I dont feel there is any skill whatsoever in playing other peoples solos. I usualy just record rhythm and drums onto the computer and solo along until my heart is content. At the moment I am using a Schecter C1-FR guitar and a hopefully soon I will be getting a Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier...but that's not for certain, I think every guitarist wants one so bad and when you've saved up ?????????800 for one and then decide...actualy I might need a car, it's a darn hard decision to make. As for my guitar, I honestly couldnt ask for anything else. It cost me ?????????450 to buy and is now on sale for ?????????550 and in my honest opinion, it is so much better than the higher priced guitars. It really is in a league of its own and I would seriously recommend it to anyone...just forget about your Gibson Les Paul (after all, they are just over rated so much it's rediculous) The only thing I changed on my guitar was the Pickups, but then again, doesnt that go for all guitars.
Anyway, here is an old picture of my home setup with my old Marshall MG150HDX
