this one looks better to me. Something about that blue I wasn't liking. 

Her haircut looks better on her, but her singing voice is just awful. 

The sunburst… tried, true, kind of tired, but is never bad. It will always be fine. 

[Storm the Field 5,366]

Welp, I just did a thing. Bought myself a dedicated metal guitar. 

Schecter Omen Extreme 7 in Black Cherry. Arriving sometime next week.

 

I love my Tele as my primary guitar but it's just not suitable for playing heavy.  Also, kinda always wanted a 7 string since I was a teenager. Only about 25 years late to form a nu metal band!

Keff'd hafta take two strings off.

Cool looking guitar...

[Celery Man 21,098]

I don't play metal at all and I wish I had a metal guitar.

 

That Fender (not the super strat- that's rad. the meteora) is cool but I see it and think of several Ernie Ball Music Man guitars that scratch that itch better for me

wrong shape headstock for the last one though

I had something similar...

I wished I played it more. Became my primary trade piece and ended up with a Mexican strat. I already had my LTD for my metal though it wasn't 7.

Based on fretboard and EMG pickups, I'm guessing that's the Platinum C7?

It was Damien elite 7.

Have no idea if they still make those. 

I bought it for one band's one album. Trivium's Shogun. 

[tbone_ 14,448]

This is closer to what I would imagine, although it needs an ebony fretboard:

Is that a real color combo?

Yeah, I pulled it off Musician's Friend.  $1,150

[tbone_ 14,448]

Looks better in that color. Sunburst too.

[Deej 77,833]

Pau Ferro feels OK to me, but you really have to hunt one down that looks dark enough. Most of them need to just be dyed darker. 

[Celery Man 21,098]

You could probably cheat your way to a quick natural dye by eating fried chicken

I like that Meteora, except the selector switch looks way too close to the strings. Like, WAY too close. I feel like I’d be hitting it all the time.

???  I wouldn't get anywhere near that switch.  Do you pick/strum up near the neck?

[Deej 77,833]

I do. When playing rhythm, I'm up in that area a lot. (Thanks, Keef.)

Sure, plenty. Warmer tone up there.

[jimmyjazz 47,205]

Interesting.

I don't play Gibsons, so I'm not used to a switch in that location, but I'm pretty sure I never move beyond the neck pickup on any guitar.

An Armada will be part of the collection someday, even though I'm more of a Cheeto dude. They all dropped off the face of the Earth it seems. Shame. That black/grey number is all the sex.

Give me all of his equipment and crew and I'll cancel my order.

Root’s isn’t exactly your everyday Tele…

But even those can rock hard!

I love the jim root jazzmaster.

[Judge Roybeanbag 11,860]

I hate being a conformist, but damn.  

[jimmyjazz 47,205]

It's kind of a weird hybrid of a Gibson Firebird and a Fender Jazzmaster.

[Butch Had Not 3,061]

I am in flagstaff and saw a tangerine strat at local music store.  Reminds me of Charlie strong era Texas orange.  I'll pass.

[topochico 1,051]

Fender stated they were trying to attract a new younger generation of players with the Player Plus series. I like that they are putting out some new shapes. I can't say that I love this one, but I don't hate it. Some of the color ways like Tequila Sunrise and Belaire Blue fades are a bit much, but I hope they are ultimately successful. Honestly, it gets a bit boring with Tele, Strat and LP versions re-done over and over.

Did Ernie Ball kill the Armada?  That is one stunning guitar, but I can't find it on their website.

 Bought my son in law this FT-134 today for his birthday to match the one I have that he always commandeers when he comes over.  He’s a happy camper .  Japan blue label, it plays like a dream.

Yes. 2019 or so I believe.

Agree.  It’s a nice looking guitar.  I have a bit of a soft spot for oddballs though.  My first guitar was a silvertone 1448, my friend had a melody maker, and another friend had a reverse firebird that would probably be worth close to $20k today.   

[DougO 5,266]

Sort of intriguing Guitarcenter.com daily pick for a cheap little throw-around travel guitar for $120. I've heard pretty good things about the recent Sigma stuff lately.

Nobody does guitar face better than Joe.

The opposite to this of course is Mark Knopfler. I once saw him do the entire Sulton solo without moving his feet, and just staring around like he was waiting on a bus. I get that he was tired of the fucking song, but damn.
