Thundergod Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 What are you playing man? I have been playing my jackson a lot lately... and it feels like one of the best guitars in the world, don't know how they do it for that price... the guitar is great, sounds great and feels great.

RichCI Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 What Dave said. Whatever the case, I go through phases were I favor one guitar over the others. At home, I've been playing my LP a lot but I haven't brought it to band rehearsal in a couple of months because my Strat covers everything I need to do there (and an LP is a heavy mofo to wear around your neck for three hours).

ChanMan Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 I know how you feel... I don't play my trusted-tried-and-true-# 1-for-years Strat anymore either. But I'm not likely to head over to the Fender forum and apologize. I guess I'm just an LP guy now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L5Larry Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 Over the last 35 years I've been through many phases of Fender - Gibson - Fender - Gibson. It seems though over the last 15 years or so has been all Gibson, and I only pull out the Strat a couple of times a year. Thinking about it, it may have as much to do with the type of music I'm playing at that particular phase of my alledged "career". It started off with rock & roll on the Strat, then to the Strat/Firebird double attack. From there it went to r&r on the Firebird and an LP, and then the LP only. I then started playing blues on the Strat, and then switched over to an ES-335 for a complimentary tone to the Strat the other guitar player in my band was playing at the time. Then I started playing Memphis R&B and Motown, so back to the Strat. From there it was back to the blues on an ES-345. Now it's big band jazz on an L-5, jazz sextet and acoustic blues on an L-7, and the trusty old 345 for the electric blues. Although I DO think certain guitars are better suited for specific types of music, I'm not one that thinks you HAVE to have a certain guitar to play certain music. I've just been fortunate enough to be able to afford what I thought were the best tools for the job. At this point I could, and should, sell off a bunch of stuff. I'd probably never miss it.

RichCI Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 Yeah, but it's white with a maple neck that's tinted just right and I have a serious jones for one of those going on. That or all black with the same neck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riffster Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 I tried the 1/2 step thing on my Stratocaster but it just does not work for me. I also tuned to 432 pitch to see if that was ny different but nope. Maybe is the fully floating tremolo setup I have. I am about to replace the bridge of my Strat so I will try again then. I will be psoting pics of the tremolo assembly swap as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That or all black with the same neck.[/quote'] Can't see the pic because I am at work but I know what you mean. My 2005 American Startocatser is black with white pickguard and maple neck and I GAS for a white version but if I had the white I'd be wanting a black version.

milod Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 Hmmmmm..... I never, ever, owned a Fender or copy thereof except for amps and basses. Never cared for the necks. Had a lot of others with similar pickups/pickup configurations, but necks I liked better. I wish I still had the old Hagstrom solidbody 12, for example... A Rick or two... a Gretsch... OTOH, I think if I could have a more Gibbie-style neck on a tele, I might get convinced a bit 'cuz I reeeeally like what I've seen/heard Roy Buchanan do. A buddy I played country with back in the '70s could make his jazzmaster sound more like a pedal steel than a pedal steel, too. The Strat never did a thing for me. I'd kinda like to try a Jag if it had a wide enough nut. I dunno. Hmmmmm. Were I to win some lottery, I guess GAS would be a huge problem. But I guess most of my GAS objects of desire tend to be just about everything except Fenders. Hmmmmm. I do think it is beneficial to play different styles of guitar largely because the different fingerboards and the way one grasps them will change your head a bit when it comes to the fingerboard itself and technique in general. m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lowdown Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 ...(and i dont feel terrible cause i just bought a Gibson LG-2 3/4 acoustic and that is eating up all of my hours recently) and my new gibby... Woah! I want one. NOW! That is freaking beautiful. Bet it sounds even better. I love the sound of a 3/4. I'm gonna start looking around... You lucky(feel free to delete Mr. Mod)bastard.
