Hi there!
Recently I've been thinking about buying a second guitar, and from the looks I fell in love with the Danelectro 59, the Dead on 67 or the Squier Jagmaster (since I'll never be able to afford the Jazzmaster).
Now my problem is that I don't really know how those guitars would change the sound I'm using. I play an old Fender Squier thingy (as can be seen here: http://viewmorepics.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=viewImage&friendID=405704319&albumID=1638533&imageID=24014130), a 10€ Behringer Blues Overdrive (with the gain on one third max) and a Dean Markley Mini Stack Amp (as can be seen here: http://monsterpawn.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=3&products_id=176). I only use the neck pickup on my guitar, so it doesn't sound too fat and solid, but rather cheap and semi-distorted.
As an addition I use a Guv'nor by Marshall for solo boost and this little yellow tremolo by Danelectro. You can listen to the results (and to the sound I like) on our profile here.
Now I'm (or rather our drummer is) afraid that buying a better guitar will change my sound from garage to "rock" or something, from deliberately cheap to professional or whatever.
So, does anyone have any experiences with those guitars? I hear that Danelectro guitars lack bass in favour of a more twangy sound, and that the Jagmaster only has two humbuckers (that should be changed to single coils or to splitable humbuckers for my sound), but, honestly, I have no idea and am not at all into technics but rather into just playing.
The reasons why I want to get another guitar (besides another guitar just looking cooler on my belly) are, well, having another guitar to change it when a string breaks during a show, and this damn fucking Floyd Rose tremolo system on my old one, that just sucks and is way too complicated to handle for the primitive music I make (way back in the metal days it may have been cool, but now...).
Thanks for any advice, opinion, comment, help!
Cheers, Doc Sanchez
