QOTSA Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 Hello guys! I would like to get your opinion on which Gibson guitar would be the best for stoner rock. For example, the sound that I have in my head is Mexicola by Queens of the stone age and The Next of Kin by She Loves Pablo... My personal opinion is that the Les Paul is the go-to guitar for stoner rock, but I would like to get yours🤘 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabs Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 There is no specific guitar for that.. Most of that is going to come more down to the amp and effects you use.. For the guitar, playability has to be the highest consideration... Any Gibson will get you there...   Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparquelito Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 You definitely can't go wrong with a Les Paul or SG. Josh Homme of Queens Of The Stone Age used his Maton (with a lot of fuzz) on the song Mexicola, and Troy Van Leeuwen used an old Les Paul Standard. Looks like She Loves Pablo will play whatever they can get their hands on. The lead singer/guitarist favors a Godin single cut, and the other guitars look to be Danelectro and Duesenberg. Good luck in your quest!!🫠Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparquelito Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 And I agree with Rabs. A lot of that sound is in the effects pedals, amplifiers, and how they were recorded and mixed. Still. Can never go wrong with a Gibson Les Paul or SG when it's time to rock. Or an Explorer, if you have a rich uncle who loves you.🤔 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surfpup Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 Enough fuzz and the guitar model won't matter anyway! 🤣  But I use an SG anytime I want to get fuzzy and sludgy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QOTSA Posted July 18, 2023 Author Share Posted July 18, 2023 Thanks, guys! Now you made me want to buy a good fuzz pedal hahaha. I have a Marshall dsl20 cr so do you have some fuzz pedals you would recommend? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabs Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 The only one I know is the Big Muff Pi... Also theres the guitars controls.. Turn the tone knob down, add some fuzz and that will get you most of the way there. This is worth a watch. Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt. Pepper Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 (edited) It’s like saying you can’t play the blues on a Strat. I swear the 3 times I saw this guy named Buddy Guy that is what he played.
