The Guitar Pron Thread

Why do you hate Rik Emmett?  (OK, it's a Dean V.)

Imagine any other guitar where the headstock is just a tiny version of the body. Maybe that’s what they should have done with the Silver Sky.

Great job on the name, G&L.

I guess Placentia is close to Fullerton, but just a bad name choice.

Because guys today are too small and weak to strap a 10 lb. guitar over their shoulder.

Meanwhile, a 120 lb Jimmy Page was playing a Les Paul at Knebworth in 79.

Much more solid of a guitar than the meconium squiers

That video is so choppy from editing its barely watchable, I made it halfway through. I couldn't disagree with the premise, which is based on one's person's observation at Coachella, more.

I see lots of music and lots of young bands. Quirky, cheap guitars are in no doubt. You dont see too many Gibsons because they are too expensive for most kids. Period. You do see a fair number of beat up Les Pauls and SGs, especially entry level SGs. The kids with a Gibson headstock are proud of them. They think they have a 59 LP so long as the headstock says Gibson.

While I'm at it, you see a ton of young women in rock bands these days. The future of Rock and Roll is female.

Here's a band I saw last week, Gumby's Junk. They blew me away. About 22 years old. Im hoping they will play a show with us sometime. She's on a pretty nice SG.

My daughter is in a grungy/punky all-girl band here in Austin, and the two guitarists play a Les Paul and a Strat.  I'm not sure of the provenance -- years, Gibson/Epi, etc., but they can play and don't seem at all turned off by a classic shape of either.

Oh, they got asked to open for Bikini Kill, so that's cool.

No recordings . . . yet.  I'm about to start that process.  I've spoken with @Paul Wesley and Jim Eno (Spoon) about it, scheduling is tricky.

I'll keep the name under wraps for now.

Has there ever been a Canadian rock band that didn't look totally fucking ridiculous?  

Rush?

 

April Wine?

 

Aldo Nova (it was too hard to pick just one)?

 

[Paul Wesley 3289]

And btw, if you're ever in a club and a dude takes the stage with the Aldo Nova guitar, you can just go.  Really, just leave.  Don't wait for confirmation.

[jimmyjazz 46245]

Yeah, that Canadian earnestness and general good-natured outlook on life doesn't exactly scream "danger".

[Paul Wesley 3289]

OK, the Tragically Hip.  

That's about it.

Gibson should make cool weird guitars and use them to invigorate the Epiphone brand as something other than China Gibson.

[tbone_ 14190]

Yea they should carbon copy a tele, put a Les Paul head stock on it, and call it new and innovative.

[Celery Man 21004]

They should acquire Bigsby guitars, make a duel cutaway with a Bigsby headstock, and dare Fender to sue.

This is brilliant and would bring it all full circle!


Exhibit A. This is several years prior to the fist Fender guitar.

[Celery Man 21004]

I don’t know where I heard about these Swedes and it may have been here, but here is (probably a repro of) one of those in action

The book "A Strat in the Attic", about hunting down old guitars, covers quite a bit of the Bigsby history. Fun read.

That is some real imagination at the bottom four frets.

Merle probably wasn’t playing Malmsteen licks down there

But, it looks like you could. That last bit of fret probably brings the growl..

[Bogeywon 2519]

The one that got away. 2007 custom shop. Relic like I want. Would have matched my tele color combo. Played like butter. The only strat that ever did it for me 

[Celery Man 21004]

Didn’t you have a Hendrix Monterrey strat or something?

No pics, because it was a no-phones show, but it looks like Jack White dumped the EVH Wolfgang. He was playing a suite of custom Fender jobs tonight, including a Tele with a b-bender and a wacky pickup configuration (it looked like maybe Filtertron, P90, and humbucker) and a pair of those Acoustasonics, one Tele and one Strat. Everything sounded awesome. It was loud as hell. I swear his more blues rock stuff is very evocative of Zeppelin.

And of course I’m a big fan of guitarists who have more enthusiasm than technical chops.

Blue Rodeo is one of my all-time favorite bands, so I'll submit them.  One of my favorite parts about them is two very distinctly different lead singers.

Its funny 'cause it's true!

G strings. Great for strippers. Not so much for guitars.

Yes. MIM one like it but the custom shop was top notch

[Deej 76961]

Welp...sold the Les Paul. It was a tough decision, but I just can't make humbuckers work for me. Lovely guitar, but when I want growl, my Baja Tele with the 4-way switch makes the sound I'm after in the 4th position. I hope she found someone who will play her like she needs to be played.

That’s kind of where I’ve arrived.  I can’t play a 24.75” above the 14th fret worth a damn.

Well, if your were a tiny guitar player born during WWII, you could.

Nope.

Lots of pics of those guitars on his Instagram though.
