Guitar

It's been coming for quite a while now.. I've been longing for a guitar.
So I got one yesterday! Except I didn't quite buy it..
..
..






I rented it! :P I bet some people were thinking I stole it.
A friend was in need of some money, so I decided that renting it from him wouldn't be such a bad idea. Besides, I've "earned" money at the casino, why not use it on something productive, like playing the guitar, instead of like... eating.



The guitar is, a Fender Squier. I could never afford to own or even rent a Fender Stratocaster or anything of that quality. A Fender Squier is not too bad, but if you want to become a good guitar player, you have to make do with what you have, and use it to create good sounds. Imagine how GREAT the sounds would be on some real quality equipment..


Now.. I don't want to complain. But the Fender Squier SP-10 amp isn't great.
But to be fair, it's a good enough practice amp, provided you turn up the volume up enough, but my somewhat brooms-stuck-up-their-asses flatmates aren't too happy bout me turning it up a bit. Basically, what this means is you get shit sound. Not just a lower volume but you cannot hear the distortion properly, and the tone is just generally poor, in any amp, if you turn the volume down. This frustrates me, and makes me want to insert an additional mop up certain ppl's asses, but that's just me being sadistic.


Imagine this, I walk into the kitchen, and a person casually says
"Were you playing the guitar just now?"

I say my friend was. Which is 100% true, coz a couple of my friends came to drop it off. Sadly, he doens't quite know how to play, and he was just banging the strings at a loud volume and it did sound horrific, but that's not the point.

"Ah, I see. I woke up because of the noise.." *smile*

Well, I'm sorry, but during exam periods, you should not be asleep and in bed at 1pm in the afternoon! What planet does this person come from?!!?!?

Hmm, but I'm getting the general feeling that rock music is highly under-appreciated in China.
After all, a couple of months ago, I did hear some loud M2M music coming from a certain room. I did not complain, saying the noise was killing me though. What kind of 18yr old male, doesn't suffer when he hears "Mirror mirror hanging on the wall..." Wait. If anybody was planning to answer that, pls don't. :P




Anyway. This is the guitar I actually own, back in Malaysia.

A Korean-made *sticks out chest and sings national anthem* Cort X-2.
Btw, Cort is a Korean brand. :D
LOL. I feel so strange when I'm being patriotic.
