Shredding on a Fender Jaguar?

[Endrik]

I've always thought that jazzmasters, jaguars, mustangs are horrible looking and have a very shitty thin tone... but as allways some make them work and sound great on them

[tanpsi]

And lest we forget, as guitar players we should be able to play guitars and get something that sounds good from them REGARDLESS of how high the action is or how out of tune it is.

I'm sorry, I can't agree with the "out of tune" part. Because of it's nature a guitar can never be perfectly in tune, but there is a math starting point of ratios between notes

If you get to far from these ratios, it does not sound good.

Now I'm sure there are academics that argue that this is "imposed by society", maybe.

It would be hard to paint a cheerful picture with brown and grey paint or make a nice dinner with rotting vegetables. There are some facts of nature that even hipsters can't change, but of course they can deny them!

You're analogies of rotting vegetables and monochrome don't really work for me, I don't think you are comparing like for like. Also how do you know you hear the same as I or anyone else does. You can say the same about colours, your red might be completely different to my perception of red. That's what makes our experiences of works of art, be they paintings or aural highly subjective.

Back to the point, I quite like the look of these guitars and to return to form I'd like to use the work cunt and fuck in a gratuitous manner. Now I feel better.

Well, most people would agree on certain tunes being cheerful or sad, right?

Same with paintings, a painting of a bunnies hopping around a sunny field of bright daisys and butterflys would be considered cheerful by most people, maybe too cheerful.

Mark Morton has created the new Jazz/Jag/whatever-master... he just changed the horns around! :ROTF:

Eeeeeewww... you've gone all Disney!

Ha Ha, well some people don't like sunshine and flowers.

Actually I have to confess the reason I bought that Jag and Jazz back in the early 80s was I was a fan of Television and Tom Verlaine which I guess people might lump in with Dinasaur Jr and Sonic Youth. But at least they tried to play in tune, at least from what I remember!
