Buying your first real six string at the five and dime is so 1969. The Amazons<\/em><\/strong>\u2019 Chris Alderton gives his top three gear picks, and some advice on finding bargains in the modern era.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No.1<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Name: Duesenberg Caribou <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Type: Guitar<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Price: \u00a31,800<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBefore buying any guitar I did a lot of just reading articles figuring out what I liked. I watched Andy on the Pro Guitar Shop YouTube channel, and watching that guy just play different guitars and then going into the shop and just playing with them and trying them out<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI’ve had my Duesenberg since I was 21. My parents wanted to buy me a nice watch or something for my birthday, because we have quite a traditional family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI liked the idea and I appreciate that it’s a tradition, but I said to them what would be really good is if you bought me a really nice guitar. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe reason I chose it was because there was a cover on the Triple J Youtube account which had a guy called Kirin Callinan and they did a cover of Queens of the Stone Ages \u2018I Sat By the Ocean\u2019. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cKirin has like a semi-circle of pedals around him that make noises that I\u2019ve never heard come out of guitar and he plays a Duesenberg, and at the end of the performance he picks the guitar up takes it off and then like spins it in the air on its like x-axis, which is so sick. I’ve tried it. Really really difficult. I’ve dropped loads of  guitars having a go but I mainly just really liked how it looks so I went and had a play with one in the shop. It’s still by far my favourite guitar to play.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
