Beater Guitar

[24242009]

Has anyone of you has guitars as beaters? like the guitar they don't care about or use in situations where no care is required? like drinking sessions or practice only. If so, what brand do you use?

lumanog = luma tunog

Nope. I take care of all the guitars that gets to my hand disregarding the brand or playability. I like to look at guitars as objects with soul. Haha of course there are guitars that get extra vip treatment.

I use Fenders or Fender-types as beaters. I don't feel bad about gigging with cheaper guitars, and they can sound/play good BUT I find that the ones I used to play didn't stand up to regular abuse as well as my Fenders did so I went with the latter instead and sold off the cheaper guitars.

I use a Yamaha F310 for my Harabas guitar. beach, roadtrips, inuman sessions, that guitar has been through a lot!

I use an Indonesian Ibanez RG as my "beater" guitar, but I like it a lot because it's got stainless steel frets, as opposed to regular nickel frets which wear down over time. My "better" guitar is only taken out when I set my effects and amps up, and for recording. It also gets taken out for when there's a fancy gig somewhere.

That thing's way overdue for a refret

Not really a beater... but this is what I bring for fiesta-type gigs.



And a Joyo Ultimate Drive and Analog Delay and clip-on tuner

I take care of all my guitars, kahit na [gooey brown stuff] silang lahat.

however, there is one guitar that i do not care if satan burns it at the stake and it is my epi lp special.

with battle scars.

I bought a cheap fender squire bullet strat for a beater guitar recently, I will just reserve my more pricey guitars for gigs (I can also gig with a beater, like they say "a bad workman blame his tools") it feels nice to have some guitar where I can just put down without wiping it after use.

sometimes its the beaters that are the most enjoyable and memorable to play 

for me its considered a beater kung ok lang sa iyo ipahiram sa isang open mic/jam night na di ka magaalala..

haha so sa current stable ko ngayon..parang wala

just scored last saturday a "beater guitar" it is a "bilinda butcher" type mustang lawsuit from a japanese surplus store. great guitar for the price.

for me, a "beater" guitar should still play and sound ok. all my guitars (an '82 Gibson V, an Ibanez full hollow and a '78 Yamaha acoustic) are beaters. I don't treat them like a museum piece but I make sure they are 100% functional.

I have 2 or 3 dead guitars in my closet (80's Yamaha sg, 70's fender strat copy, no name cheap acoustic). eto yung talagang sira na and di na magagamit. I guess I can call them dead-beat guitars?

This used to be my beater guitar. 1993-2003. Had it professionally setup a couple of years back. Has not left the house after that due to its sentimental value.


From 2003-2013, this... shifted permanently to bass the succeeding years though.
