It's ok, we have scene kids roaming around Britain too, those kind of kinds can't be considered emo, but rather pathetic and fun to beat up.

Will you share your experience on how to tell an "emo" from a "scene" kid?

Right. You see those fags at school who have only just got into MCR ever since Black Parade was released? Wear eyeliner and nail varnish (boys that is), like the same music and most music channels and everybody else (trying to fit in with everyone else), and always trying to be center of attention.

That, is a scene kid.

My thoughts exactly. But Zakk Wylde is awesome... far from emo.

Emo isn't dead at all where I live... but it sure does suck.

Sweet! I'm learning to play the guitar myself and was wondering, is this just for a cool-ass project. Or does the shape of the guitar actually mean something?

@Cow

On an electric guitar the shape doesn't make much of a difference if it's a solid body guitar. The wood, however, makes a different kind of tone. There are also hollow body guitars out there, which are much lighter and...get this...HOLLOW! They probably make a much different sound.

Acoustic guitars probably have many more factors that are affected by their shape, due to the fact that the strings resonate inside the bodies before the sound comes out the sound hole. But don't quote me on that.

If you ever hear a Les Paul, you'll notice that it has a smooth, fat sound. If you compart it to say, a Strat, the Strat has a more "tinny" tone.

Uhh...strats are made out of alder... Les Paul's aren't (according to a quick google search).

Strats don't have a "tinny" tone. I'd call it bright. Les Pauls have a warm fat tone I think. It's not because of the shape but because of two other factors:

Strats are made of Alder and Les Pauls are made of (I think) mahogany.
Strats have single coil pickups (most of the time) and Les Pauls have humbuckers.
