Upside down strats too

Trick is to get models with more unique shapes and limited runs, like the Gibson marauder I'm gonna pick up later this week.

Otherwise big fat jazz boxes

thinking about painting it black, or white, because i can't dig the pale green anymore

>>12546571
Get a different pickguard instead. Painting such a fine guitar would be a crime.

>>12546595
It's true, if I wanted it painted I would probably have to go to a professional. The thing is, with the pale green, I think the white pickguard looks best, not sure if I'd change that part of it.

r8 my refinish + custom duosonic design, i play alt/punk mostly

the notes are for an older design i was going for, basically i just want a nitro finish, skinny frets, coil tapping, 1meg pots, and locking tuners

i've got a stock 2016 duo sonic right now so i would refinish and customise that, but if i ever run into money i'd like to build it from new parts. my duo sonic is alder and i'd prefer a basswood mustang body because that would be light as fuck and i HATE singing with a heavy guitar on me

>>12547394

series parallel is a lot more useful and sounds better imo

dimarzio super distortion in the bridge, i don't ever use the neck so i'll probably just have a 250 or 500k stratty single coil

those are pretty terrible. i think the only noiseless way to go for strats is early lace sensors. they have a different sound but it works.

every genre has a bit of a meme guitar aesthetic

the semi-hollow/hollow body epiphone-style guitar, *just* on the edge of breaking up on a tube amp (fender twin for example) is suuuuuuch a meme too. off the top of my head––
james bay
george ezra
hozier
lumineers
kings of leon

all use those guitars, and they wear fuckin oxford shirts, slp hats, chelsea boots and other WORKWEAR

i'm gonna get my basswood mustang and i'm gonna play grunge and that might make me an indie wannabe but fuck man i just want to sing and thrash with a light guitar on my shoulders

i played my friend's les paul at rehearsal, kudos to all of the famous singers that used that guitar, that shit is hard

You can still find great deals on 70s acoustics.

To defend my stupidly expensive purchase, I must say the Gibson RD is one of the prettiest solid body guitars out there. The 70's artist and standard models are beautiful
Mine is a standard reissue silverburst from 2007. I think only 400 were made
SG's are also some of my favorites, especially models like the standard limited with the natural burst finish.

For hollow bodies you pretty much can't go wrong with a Gretsch. Slap a bigsby on there and it's perfection.
When it comes to acoustic guitars, you can't beat the Gibson J-185.

So true. And lol at him recommending a Gibson Byrdland when the biggest guitar meme I can think of in recent years is literally any semi hollow for "indie band influenced by R&B or pre-60's blues".

Byrdlands (and semi hollows generally) are dope but you are deluded if you think you can pick a non-boutique guitar that is not a meme to some extent. Unless you've been kicked in the head by a horse and play a BC Rich with a country band or something.
