Geert1976 Posted February 12, 2011 Author Share Posted February 12, 2011 I love Jazzmasters and Mustangs. Teles have a special place in my heart, and I do like them, but I can't decide whether I hate or love the pickups.... Gretsch (which is owned by Fender) makes kick *** guitars You should try this: You wil love it more then a Mustang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeoConMan Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 Textbook Telecaster - Ash body American Standard Strat If you need something different, throw some Wide Range humbuckers in a Strat Or try some P-90s in an Ash body Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manse Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 I love my two strats and my tele 62 custom, my restored 1967 jaguar and my mexican jazz bass. I also love my Gretsch White Falcon, my Rickenbacker 330, my Jackson Roswell Rhoads, my Epiphone ES-295, my PRS SE Santana, my Ovation round back acoustic, my Yamaha nylon strung classical acoustic, oh yeah, and my Gibsons - my ES-335, my 1978 Les Paul Pro, my Firebird V and my SG Standard. If you never played a good fender, you have not played enough guitars. or your luck really sucks. Whether you care for the looks or not (and I am not convinced) some of the relic strats I have played have been among the finest playing and sounding electric guitars I have ever come across.

Oh, I had my share of Fenders, but I don't like the feel of it, and I also own Japanese and Korean copies, wich I prefer more then a real Fender Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Versatile Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 I have equal love for Gibsons and Fenders... Fender seem to have taken the solid body into interesting areas...the Esquire is a work of minimalist beauty The Strat, Tele, Jazzmaster and Mustang each have distinct individual characters On the other hand Gibson archtops are all special...335's, 330's right up to the top L5 etc models Fender make very nice maple necks and fretboards and often have a low profile string action, which can be refreshing after a typical Gibson archtop...

stein Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 do i like fenders? isn't that like asking do i like pie? do i like cadillacs? do i like led zeppelen? i get it tho, really i do. i had a special the i put p-90's in and rewired, and it sounded abolutely great. thing was i could'nt gig with it because the sound was too ballsy, too over the top, that i couldn't get a handle on it, couldn't contain it. like bringing a nuclear bomb to a barfight, or bringing a girl you didn't know you met in a bar to your parents. a guy's got to know what he can handle.

stein Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 I can handle P-90s... a man's got to know his limitations. if a 300 pound musclehead said "gimme a smoke" would you tell him to teach his grandma to suck eggs? would you have drink before going to court without knowing what's in it? would you do acid before climbing in a nascar? give me some credit here? i am referring to a solid slab of gibson mahogony with real gibson p-90's wired with 50's spec and vintage paper in oil caps. need to take this stuff slow.

FirstMeasure Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 What's not to like? The most comfortable body style, classic and modern single coil sounds. They even make noiseless pickups nowadays (yeah I know, but I still like 'em). But then my opinion may be tainted, as I've never met a Guitar I didn't like. Personally I find LP's to be the most uncomfortable guitar out there, from the way it hangs to the short scaled neck, but I still like 'em and will one day have one (after I get a 337, SG, and a Firebird). Every guitar has a unique voice and attitude, the fun is in finding it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The knob layout is backasswards. Selector switch up there? Lots to dislike about them. But I still love 'em... Bought and sold a few before I found some I liked enough to keep.

I still want one in the worst way, but I want the right one. Unfortunatley there's been three Les Paul I've played that were perfect, none of which were available to me One was a Black Beauty that was sold hours before I got to the music store with a down payment.

Steven Tari Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 I've always been a Gibson family person. The closest guitar that I've played is my Kalamazoo KG-2A. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MojoRedFoot Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 I have 3 Fender guitars, a Fender mandolin and a Fender banjo. I like my Fender guitar better than my Gibson because they and take a beating and really force me to become a better player. My 1989 Strat plus is and always has been my #1.

bluesrob Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 love 'em both, fender and gibson. i have one of each, and i can get most any sound i want from one or the other. i like diversity so my next guitar (not anytime soon!) will be something different like a rickenbacker.

rocketman Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 Damn that's one sweet looking Rickenbacker Neo. It took me a while to warm up to a Strat. But once I bought my American Deluxe Ash I just fell in love with it. The tones you can get out of it are amazing. I love that slightly tube driven popping blues tone. The S-1 switch gives it some nice varieties too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
