The Guitar (and Other Musical Instruments) Thread | Page 2 | Fab Forum | The Beatles Bible

I don’t listen to reggae so i was unaware of that, when i think of a Gibson SG i think of She Said She Said , Hey Bulldog , AC/DC, Black Sabbath, Doctor Robert , The Doors, and Paperback Writer , so i think of it as a rock and metal instrument. Also, i don’t like PRS guitars, they’re too expensive and look unappealing to me.

Yeah they’re fun little things (or clunky little things depending on the wood). I’d get one but its too much of a one-horse guitar and I’d have to throw some other weird pickups in it to make it more versatile. And after all, reggae is just a form of country music really except you can put wooshing sounds in it. G&L have their various versions of the Tele which are quite interesting and if I was interested, I’d probably get an ASAT Classic Bluesboy which has a humbucker at the neck.

Also here’s a fun test for you guys:

Let me know what you think. The test is done with both neck+bridge PU’s which I feel is a little tricky of Darren but it’s a great idea overall.

I love Fender Stratocasters, so i’d probably choose a left handed 1960 Fender Stratocaster in Olympic white with rosewood fingerboard and synchronized tremolo as well as a modification that makes position 2 on the 3 way switch bridge and middle instead of just middle.

Sonic blue is great, so is fiesta red, candy apple red, seafoam green, Dakota red, lake placid blue. Hell, even boring old sunburst is fine by me, as long as it’s an actual Fender Stratocaster as i hate Squier.

Do what I did @Beatlebug, get a black bass and put rainbow dayglo strings on it:

That’s my Washburn XB125 with DR Neons on it. The pickups are a bit dark, one of these days I’ll put a couple of G&L MFD’s in it and it’ll really roar. But I also like Belair Green  as a colour, but I’m resigned to my SG being Cherry Red. It’ll be the 2nd red guitar I own besides the weird red bass I have.

Everyone’s different, my hands aren’t the biggest and I found going to lighter strings on the bass and sticking to 9’s on guitar were the best compromise, particularly for vibrato. I use GHS pressurewounds on the bass, and the last set lasted me 2 years, they’re extremely hard-wearing and a nice fundamental without going too crazy like flatwounds. I’m fairly happy with D’addario for acoustic and electrics, I should experiment with different brands perhaps.

So does Angus Young!
