Re: Vintage Fender Experts
Yep, to all those. Early Gallagher is not overly hairy though, pretty awesome really. I like early Yngwie tone, which I assume is not stacked buckers yet.Vorbis wrote:So you're talking overdriven tones ala Blackmore and Yngwie (stacked humbuckers btw ) as opposed to clean (or slightly hairy) Strat tone?Polar Bear wrote:
Also, Blackmore and even Yngvie know how to get good tone out of a strat and a MArshall, which is what I was getting at, as opposed to just randomly listing amp and guitar combinations.
I mean Grant set fire to a ceriatone and still can't find a Strat tone he likes...lost cause? $5k-$50k on a vintage won't sound any better than $2k on a modern US, although you'll be able to keep all your credit cards in the gap of the neck pocket (psst I have a cure for that problem )

Not pointless, good to know. He uses vintage strats, so it must all sound the same

For you Grant I would have thought a Tele might be more up your alley.jeremyb wrote:Don't waste your time on Strats, go straight to Teles
Aren't you working on some alt-country album??
Nothing to see here.

Re: Vintage Fender Experts
There's a reason most beginners buy Strats
But seriously, a man of your fine taste G, deserves the essential Fender, '52 tele in butterscotch blonde <3

Re: Vintage Fender Experts
Yep, see his "I wanted opinions on Teles, rather than Strats" thread. Lots of good suggestions there.jeremyb wrote:There's a reason most beginners buy Strats

Re: Vintage Fender Experts
Oh chortle.
I did indeed lust for a Strat for years and my first excellent guitar was indeed a Strat Plus.
But once that old LP Special bit me I kinda feel out of love with the sound and feel. In saying this, I have played one or two that had "that" feel. And this is one of them. I have no idea what it sounds like plugged in yet.
Guys often talk about "the one" re Strats. I've never yet had "the one"....and maybe when I do I'll be able to find the creativity I get from the other side of the fence currently.
