She was the perfect girl anyone could've ever dreamed of. She's beautiful, and she has a wonderful smile (thinking about it makes me regret not sleeping longer. Thanks to my mother who called and woke me up -.-), but anyone who's sane enough would know that such a girl could never ever exist in real life. No one in this world is THAT perfect. We love who we love only because we learn to love their flaws along with their perfections, therefore your soulmate is always perfect in your eyes. Yup, i saw her in my dreams, but only in my dreams does she exist. And no, i still love the one i love, even if the girl in my dreams really do exist. (The girl in my dreams, makes a good song title :D) That's because, although she's really perfection, the one i love is BEYOND perfection in my eyes. I mean it. Mushy or cheesy or disgusting whatever you call it, that's the only way i can phrase it.
Back to topic! There's no topic but i'm gonna make one since i don't wanna just post about the above. Makes me feel like i'm being dramatic like most of the people on the internet.
CNY was..boring. As usual. But the one thing that shocked me the most this year was the amount of red packet money. I was expecting it to be below 200, and barely over a 100..it turned out to be 404 (OMFLZCZXCZXCZXCZXCZXC couldn't even described how OML i was when i found out). With 404, i'm gonna top it up abit and BUY A secondhand SEVEN STRING GUITAR! That's way cool. I can't wait shopping for it.
Ok so you guys might be thinking, BUY SO MANY GUITARS WASTE MONEY WHEN YOU'VE ALREADY 3 GUITARS AND A BASS. Nope, it's all different, the ones i bought.
My first was a lousy SX strat copy copy. No typos there. SX is a spain guitar company, and the original was a SX Stratocaster Copy. The one i got was a cheap one, it's a china copy of the copy. Talk about piracy lol. 21 frets (IT'S NOT EVEN 22!) with unknown body and neck and fretboard wood, and a standard strat bridge which allows the use of the whammy bar/tremolo bar, but you can't pull it up.
The next was a 24 fret TGM Bass. Sounds ok, probably needs a bit of set up, but i'm not really into basses YET, so i just play it as it is for now.
3rd we have the expensive Ibanez S4570-F. It's a prestige, which is like the higher end of Ibanez guitars. Thanks to my dad who got it for me. Here's what's really important. It's 24 frets with a mahogany body, maply neck and rosewood fretboard if i'm not wrong, and it has a edge zero bridge i think. Not sure if it's edge zero or edge III or whatever, but it's a floyd rose bridge, and unlike the strat's bridge on the SX, you can either pull up or push down to tighten the string tension or loosen it. Meaning the note being played will change in pitch.
Lastly, but not for long, would be the Epiphone SG G-400. 22 frets with a stopbar tail piece and a tune-o-matic for the bridge. It has no whammy bar (or tremolo bar) slot, which means wacky whammy stuff can't be done on that guitar. The frets are also kinda thinner, and it has a shorter scale, which means the string that's vibrating when strummed. It's a totally different feel from the Ibanez. I use this for my band :)
The main difference is their bridge! The secondary difference is the scale length of the guitar, which, when you play, will give a totally different feel to it. The neck's thickness is also different, the tones are different too. So they're all guitars, but they're different :)
Now, the 7-string that i'm looking to buy, should have 24 frets and a floyd rose bridge, coil splitting, which means it probably is a HH or a HSH (if there are reasonable cheap) (HH= Humbucker + Humbucker, HSH = Humbucker + Single coil + Humbucker, referring to the pickups), hopefuly mahogany body with rosewood fretboard (i'm not that picky about the wood), and that's it. I wanna get this because there's an extra low B string.
There is an 8 string too, but i'm not gonna buy that ever because it just looks ridiculous.
There's also 12 string guitars, i might get that when i become really really pro. It's more for rhythmic sections to make the sections sound nicer with the added harmonics and all i think. Not sure.
Well i think i'm really off topic, and i'm out of time. Time to bath. Update next time :)
