charlie brown Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 Nah...no "bashing" felt, here...Fred. I just never thought of a Telecaster as "thin" sounding. As to your own preferences, that's cool! We all have those! I (personally) think the amp has a lot more to do with overall tone/fullness, than the guitar. But again, that may be just me?! ;>) CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Mick Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 I don't get Gangsta' s who ware baggy pants and untied shoes. I mean if your a gangster it stands to reason your involved in criminal activities and will likely have to run from the cops at which time your shoes will come off rounding a corner and you'll be holding up your pants the whole time. Fighting as well it's got to be hard to fight in all them baggy clothing. Now skinheads (whom I hate) ware laced up boots simi tight pants and flight jackets which are slippery and hard to grab onto. Plus they have no hair to grab or get in their way. which makes since seeing as how they fight all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, you'd better have a hefty bank account, and be a patient person...'cause it will take a LOT of both! ;>) CB[/quote'] My question is this: can the average end user get a custom one off guitar to your specifications? For example, Carvin lets you customize your guitar i.e. pick finish, pups, various accessories, custom logos and the sort, does Gibson do any of this that is built off of models they have with minor changes that the end user chooses? I think they are missing a huge market here, I mean I think one of the greatest things ever would be a gloss finish body with a satin neck on a 335, but can I get that from Gibson for little more than a standard 335 with gloss finish? I don't think so That is one frustrating thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

milod Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 DeVeeWee You're absolutely correct about lack of mention of other than rock players here. OTOH, I think we've also a situation here where much of the playing is done by those playing variations of "rock." My baby bro is 28 years younger. His music and mine are far, far apart. I got a kick out of one kid I jammed with who said he was proud that he'd ended up jamming with both of us and seeing how different our concepts of music were. I'm far more influenced by jazz, folk, blues and country than that brother. He's far more influenced by variations in culture and a smoother electronic sort of sound. Age has a lot to do with it, and the musical environment in which you were raised. My "mother" was very musical and music always was running in the house. My "Mom" now, is not so musical, and her son, my brother, found more of his musical influences elsewhere and literally a generation away from my own. I'll admit I get a bit bothered by cross generational growls more that by political growls on this forum. Frankly I get bothered by those who let themselves get bothered by politics they don't particularly agree with as much as those who are bothered by musical tastes they don't agree with. (I'll admit that I loathe rap, though.) I love, on the other hand, working to analyze both musical styles and cultural influences on them. Anyway, I love fingerstyle solo guitar; Chet Atkins and Joe Pass are so different in ways it's ridiculous, and yet both did things with chords and making a full "score" with one guitar that they also have some interesting similarities. I'm no Fender fan, but listening to Roy Buchanan doing "Misty" makes one wonder whether the sound, if not feel of the guitar, doesn't have to be considered so one dimensional. I dunno. I hate Fender necks. But then I don't play a "Fender style." Today's rock is fine, but... gee, yeah, there's an awful lot more. m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
