I need a cheap, loud guitar...
 

I need like a $200 guitar that has alot of input. Im thinking of Squier's telecaster... Has anyone played it??? Heres a link:

Any feedback would be excepted greatly appreciated, thankyou...

You mean output right? Telecasters have single coils, so they are not exactly high output. I'd suggest getting a guitar with humbuckers.

Although the actually output of a guitar doesn't really matter all that much, that is what DIRT pedals are for.

no i dont think so, more input means more noise and more feedback and is commonly associated with the single coil. And i dont use pedals...

ahem...guitar (50-100$)+big muff($50)+amp(i dunno)=fuck loud

I got a cheap ass Washburn. It can get pretty damn loud. I love it as well.

I have a shitty cheap Ibanez starter guitar that I only use for odd tunings, but it gets some really good feedback and is pretty loud.

I dont care what people say. Its all about the amp. You can get any guitar to make noise.

fernandes... they are cheap and i swear by them

if you're gonna get something cheap, Squiers are probably yr best bet. Squier Strats are great guitars (i have a purple one). i've never played a Squier Tele, but i have played a Fender one, and there can't be much difference. i like the Tele neck better than the Strat, but i'm not a big fan of the Tele pickups.

i heard somewhere that Elvis Costello switched from a Jazzmaster to a Tele because he thought it sounded louder.

the guitar/amp don't matter too much... as long as you have pedals. If you don't, it's the amp that matters more than the guitar. I bought one guitar that was over $500 and i barely use it. I like my $150 fernandes strat just fine. I'll never buy an electric over 200 again. Acoustic is a different story.

I would have to disagree. Cheap Squier Strats are pieces of shit. An Ibanez will outlast it and sound better. And Ibanez is shit.

pawnshop

I dont use pedals ever. sorry i just dont like using distortion or anything like that. I just use the clean channel on this old broken Fender 75 watt I got for free and it sounds great. Im very minimalist when it comes to music.

I don't quite know what you mean by high input, if you mean either output or impedance, humbuckers have higher output and impendance than single coils.

But you are right, single coils feedback more,

If you want feedback though, hollowbodies are the way to go.

i wouldnt use minimalist, though i havent heard you. maybe simple or plain setup.

Anyways, in my experience, humbucking guitars are louder than single coils, I always have to turn up the volume when I go from a humbucker to a single coil.

Don't forget to look at used guitars. New guitars are crap. I hate them, even fenders and gibsons. A 70's knock-off will probably be better than a new guitar, and you can pick them up really cheap. The best guitars high end vintage though.

In my mind

expensive vintage > cheap vintage > high end new> middle price new > low price new

Of course, if an old guitar looks like shit it probably is shit. Remember that.

My first guitar was a Hondo II that I got for 200 dollars, sounds better than any other guitar I've played/heard my friends play, except for a vintage Gibson. The only new guitar that I've ever really dug the sound of is my friends Epiphone Casino.

heheh, if i'm understanding you correctly i'd have to say, good luck on getting feedback by playing a CLEAN sounding amp like a fender (i'm presuming you are using none to minimal gain channel) so w/o using any pedals, you'll probably need to crank the bitch to max. volume and shove the guitar up the speaker... i don't care how loud the guitar input/output you have it will feedback, but will probably sound like crap and be abit hard to manipulate, i'm guessing you'll probably mostly get uncontrollable high pitch squeely feedback... nice for moments only then it gets rather annoying.

buy a second hand Jag-stang off Ebay, if you want a growly noisy axe, this is your man, made completely from basswood for a deeper sound

i bought a real economically priced (read "cheap") SX brand guitar.. 2 hambuckers and 2 single coil pickups, it sounds great..
it's solid as you want it to be, it can tolerate SY style abuse, and it is pretty loud..
they cost about 120 dollars or so..
