these are metal guitars? Dammit, I thought it was my fault my playing is shit in my classic rock cover band - turns out I've been using the wrong guitars for the genre. Although they do seem to do much better on the "You Really Got Me" type stuff.

Hail yesterday -
Uli Roth, Tipton, Murray, Smith, Malmsteen, Mars, & others have used Fender Strat's as Metal Axes.
Those Strat's weren't designed for Metal.
Ive seen Lynch play a Tele, Sykes play a Les Paul, & understand Stevie Ray had a Charvel neck on one of his axes.
If a Jackson/Charvel has a comfortable feel, by all means make it work for your style.

The prudes may snub them, but I don't care.
I dont need furniture.
If its tough, shreds, and screams, Its all good.
If it gets jacked, I'll get another one.
And rock that sucker.

Agreed. Also, most tone comes from the amp and the hands.Originally posted by Tricky View PostUli Roth, Tipton, Murray, Smith, Malmsteen, Mars, & others have used Fender Strat's as Metal Axes.

Haha, Right buddy. . .Originally posted by savatage View Post
Because the way they are wound, hum vs. singles, Warmth vs dark, Not to mention Wood types have different tonal qualities.
I suppose if all you are looking for is a high gain tone, then yes it doesn't matter. Distort the PUP's and your amp.
But I do everything from (Clean side) Classical, to blues, to rock, I learned how to play guitar by playing metal.(dirty side) Some people have different needs, and different style.
Personally, i like getting my hollow body to start phasing from the right amount of feedback, amp to amp echo, But i cant play into the higher frets because the cut-way isn't low enough.
I like LP's, Not a big strat fan, but i would play one if the price was right...... (ha)
Truth be told, this guitar was at a good price, and I got a 25 watt vintage tube amp, and a crappy metal zone pedal (I didnt care @ the time). 100 bucks. Couldn't beat it. So I enjoyed it, learned how to set up a floyd, fixed it a few times, and then this time i just took the plunge and I really like it.
Your criticisms humor me more than anything, nice to meet you.Last edited by Lizardkinged; 01-26-2010, 05:56 PM.Comment
