Members mahon451 Posted February 12, 2010 Members Share Posted February 12, 2010 Dude, if you wanna play blues and classic rock, go buy a strat or an LP. There are many companies that make variations on these guitars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Selsaral Posted February 12, 2010 Members Share Posted February 12, 2010 I wonder how you'd react if you found some of those damn pointy guitars walking on your lawn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TrickyBoy Posted February 12, 2010 Members Share Posted February 12, 2010 I like Blues. I like classic rock. I like 70's {censored}. Therefore, I naturally love the guitars they use/used, primarily the Strat and Les Paul. People who want to play Fenders or Gibsons (I own 4 Fenders) are going to buy Fenders or Gibsons. There's no reason for another company to come out and try to compete with them.So, modern manufacturers need to make something different; hence, the other brands you mentioned. No mystery really.

Members Pope on a Rope Posted February 12, 2010 Members Share Posted February 12, 2010 They build guitars like that to piss off twats like you. Hah-hah! Bitch! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Rex Machete Posted February 12, 2010 Members Share Posted February 12, 2010 the guitar market is 50% Fender and Gibson, 25% dedicated to copying Fender and Gibson, 24.9% dedicated to making identical black pointy br00talz machines, and .1% dedicated to making something original that doesn't look or sound like anything else.

Members etawful Posted February 12, 2010 Members Share Posted February 12, 2010 That's a bit like saying "I like pickup trucks, I'm sick of all these manufacturers not making pickup trucks and just making sports cars." Just because you don't like the product a company is making doesn't mean they should cater to your whim. There are plenty of companies that DO make products that suit your needs (Fender, Gibson, G&L, Vintage, PRS, etc., etc., etc.) You obviously are not the target market for those companies who make pointy steal stringed instruments of impalement, neither am I. But I'm not going to get pissed off about, in fact, I'm not going to even think about it 99% of the time because I just don't give a {censored}. As to B.C. Rich, they've been around a long time (since 1969 according to Wiki), it's not like they just cropped up last week to torment your niche-market soul.

Members Carbohydrates Posted February 12, 2010 Members Share Posted February 12, 2010 It's true! NOBODY makes a modern, classic-styled guitar that isn't pointy (except Fender, Gibson, Gretsch, Ibanez, PRS, Fano, Grosh, Anderson, Suhr, Kirn, Eastwood, Lentz, Collings, Melancon, Tyler, Reverend, Duesenberg, etc... and the Fender/Gibson-styled builders like Epiphone, SX, Agile, K-Line, Relevator, Rocketfire, Danocaster, Nash, Xaviere, etc...)

Members hellion_213 Posted February 12, 2010 Members Share Posted February 12, 2010 I like Blues. I like classic rock. I like 70's {censored}. Therefore, I naturally love the guitars they use/used, primarily the Strat and Les Paul. All these modern guitar companies are making these "sick, radical looking pieces of shred-tastic metal machines", and it's starting to piss me off. Ibanez, ESP/LTD, Dean, Jackson, Schecter, and B.C. RICH-all trying to make the next awesome body shape, with all these sharp points and deep cutaways so we can (finally) reach the 35th fret. The LTD F Series is a perfect example of what I'm trying to explain. I mean, come on-what the {censored} is that {censored}?? Does anyone really like that? (On the other hand, I do like the LTD Eclipse series. Very classy looking guitars...) The worst is B. C. Rich. If I could talk to the president of that company, I would say, "Hey bro, your trying to make a guitar, not something to slay dragons with. How about the case you have to put that thing in-Jeeze that must be big and uncomfortable! I don't know. Maybe it's just because thats what the people want. Metal is whats in right now. What a shame. I suppose I just don't have an appreciation for playing 3000 notes per second. Ok, now all the metal kids can start bitching now. -Mark Now all the Metal kids can start bitching:rolleyes: {censored}ing Joe Perry played a BC Rich Bich, Paul Stanley, Gene Simmons, Blackie Lawless, Brad Whitford, Tracii and Jeremy Guns, John Kronskey, all have played BC Rich, and I'm sure there's more I can't remember. So I guess you're one of those, certain guitars for certain genres kind of people. I can't stand how generic and the same LPs and strats are, but I'm not starting a bitch thread about it, or slamming people that play them. I'll even wish someone a HNGD when they get one. How about this: I'll play what I like, and you play what you like mmmmkkkaaayyy? Go troll somewhere else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Mark Ahle Posted February 12, 2010 Author Members Share Posted February 12, 2010 I love how I write one little opinion and everyone gets their panties in a bunch! I love it! No {censored}, I prefer those brands over all the others, that what I'm saying. And the only reason Strats and LPs are so "generic" now is because so many companies try to copy them. BTW I said "modern" guitar companies, because of their "modern" styling, not new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gibson started the "sick, radical looking" guitar fad when they designed the Flying V, the Explorer, the SG and the Moderne back in the 50s, 60s and 70s. So you can thank them for that.
