Glenn Tipton strat

[j2379]

ive seen plenty of Dave Murray replica strats, how come no love for Glenn Tipton's black strat. I think Im going to make a GT tribute kind of strat. & a big hell no on the kahler, i hate those things.

Tipton is so amazing, never gets much love on the lists, but what a player.

Gibson offered a very expensive set a few years ago:

i agree.

Glenn's a great player and a humble guy. Always have enjoyed seeing him play.

He makes a Kahler work just fine so to put anything else on it would not be right.

^^ I agree.

I'll tell you why Glen never got a signature strat. He isn't known for playing one.
Same reason Eric Clapton doesn't have a signature SG. Uli Jon Roth doesn't have a signature strat either. Most people know him for his sky guitar.
BTW... Glen Tipton pulled off some of the greatest metal guitar licks of all time. Love the guy.

In 5 words...

He had a Hamer signature "strat" which I thought this thread was about.

I used to sketch his Phantom GT in exercise books at school

Thats not the guitar he is known for. He is known as a Hamer player but not that one.

That would be this abomination:


I always thought Glenn Tipton's guitars were goofy and KK played all the cool axes.

Going way, way back, Glen played the SG and fender strat a bit, both with the mirrored pick guards I think. Then the hamers took over eventually.
