Gear That Everybody Seems To Love But You Don't

PRS Silver Sky makes me cry. A company dedicated to innovation produces a Strat copy just to have John Mayer promote it. Late capitalism!

They’re not really innovative though, single and double cut guitars have been done to death, companies like Strandberg are innovators.

Absolutely correct albeit innovations I couldn't give a crap about.

I'm impressed that 4 pages in nobody's had a hissy fit yet!

That's because we're grownups.

This is a scurrilous accusation and I invite you to remove it sir!

[robthemac]

Fucking Rickenbackers.

Didn't take long to devolve into name-calling then

[FuzzMonkey]

I'd pay money not to have to

Ha ha ha!

Vintage 30s

. Next time you have one, try is purely as a lead boost. Nothing better.

Tried it. Doesn't do it for me. Everything goes thin and nasal.

To be fair, I usually have them going into non-MV DR or Plexi amps, set at very low volumes. Not usually a TS happy place.

I didn't vibe with the Strymon Flint. I didn't like the reverb sounds at all. I also find Jazz 3 picks a bit cunty to work with. Just a bit too small.

[GrantB]

Fucking Rickenbackers.

Play them instead?

I'm glad its not just me, I find them too thick also, I've been finding I've been going thinner and thinner with my picks and I find it way easier to play because of it... strange!

Anything less than 0.8mm just loses the attack though. Fine if you're jangling away with Why Georgia (and I know you are), but anything else is just wrong.

What a coincidence! I've been going thinner and thinner with my hair.

That's almost exactly the happy medium for me. Around 0.8 mm ultex triangles is the most versatile for my use cases.

I'm just responding to people so far. Still can't list my own answers to the topic in question yet!

You can play guitar with your hair?
