Members strtdv Posted April 12, 2008 Members Share Posted April 12, 2008 I tend towards Fenders because they just feel 'right' to me. Having said that, i've played some genuinely horrible fenders. I'd quite like a Gibson at some stage, but I haven't found the right one yet.. As far as amps go, I'm a fan of Laney valve/tube amps, although i wouldn't turn down a 65 DRRI..

Members Hurtzher Posted April 12, 2008 Members Share Posted April 12, 2008 My main guitar right now is a Carvin Bolt-T (super Strat-style guitar). I love it enough to where I am probably gonna sell my Epiphone Lucile and MIA Standard Strat to get another. While the electronics are not the greatest (they tend to use teh mini-pots, and such), mine seem to work fine. I would recomend their bolt-style guitars without hesitation. Great bang for the buck. However, some of their models are a tad over priced IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dimmypage Posted April 12, 2008 Members Share Posted April 12, 2008 Im usually very proud of any guitar brand I own or else I wouldnt have bought it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jconway Posted April 12, 2008 Members Share Posted April 12, 2008 I'm real proud to play Fender. I love my Strat, hope to get a Tele and a Twin Reverb amp, and I'm getting a Blues Jr. amp next month Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members guitarbilly74 Posted April 12, 2008 Members Share Posted April 12, 2008 if something came along that i loved more than my gibson les pauls, i'd be on them in a second.but that hasn't happened. my only loyalty is to what is best for me. to date, it's a gibson les paul. i've tried many others and nothing else beats them for me. thus; i am a gibson player. it's nothing to do with brand loyalty and everything to do with what works for me. this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members guitarbilly74 Posted April 12, 2008 Members Share Posted April 12, 2008 When I'm out in the crowd with my guitar during a show.. I always point the headstock of my guitar right in the face of the hot chicks...Once they see that "name brand"...I'm GOLDEN!I hear them wispering to their friends... "oooh God... he's so hot. He plays a (insert your favorite brand here)." And one of the other girls always says... "yeah, if he played a (insert the name of your most hated brand here), he would be a total dork!"Then they all giggle, and one says... "isn't tonight amateur wet t-shirt night"?M I LOL'd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Jkater Posted April 12, 2008 Members Share Posted April 12, 2008 Absolutely. I'll let you guess which brand that is... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Rich4Once Posted April 12, 2008 Members Share Posted April 12, 2008 It's not really a concern for me...my main guitar is a Peavey, but I also use Gibson, Fender, Epiphone, Ibanez, Kramer, and Alvarez regularly. A couple of months ago I had a guy telling me how much he loved that "vintage Les Paul" I was playing. He couldn't believe it when I told him it was an Epiphone '56 reissue from Korea, made in 2006! I don't worry about what people think of my guitars, because for the most part, they don't even know what they're looking at. Very seldom is one of my guitars bone-stock anyway, so even if you know guitars, you probably don't know mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Alan Roberts Posted April 12, 2008 Members Share Posted April 12, 2008 Not so much the brand, as the instrument itself. If it's proven gig-worthy and held up under working conditions for a reasonable period of time, then it just becomes a trustworthy tool to do the job.

Members Loxley Posted April 12, 2008 Members Share Posted April 12, 2008 I don't like being a fan boy to any brand, as that's blind, but I will certainly confidently uphold Reverend as a good brand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members bloolight Posted April 12, 2008 Members Share Posted April 12, 2008 I play two Reverends as my main guitars and I am proud to the point of fanaticism. When I'm playing these, I feel just a little bit smug that I was smart enough and musically-astute enough to pick up two USA models before they were discontinued. I truly pity those who do not own one of these fine, innovative instruments. I also receive instructions from Joe Naylor through my tooth fillings...when I'm off my meds.

Members Oldskool Texas Posted April 12, 2008 Members Share Posted April 12, 2008 I'm into the whole pride-of-ownership thing, and I find that I don't keep the "lesser" instruments around as long. My Martin, Guild, and Fender, however, are keepers, and I'm very proud to own and play guitars that are not only well-made and sound & play great, but that also have some American musical history behind them.

Members EMG_GUY Posted April 12, 2008 Members Share Posted April 12, 2008 I don't think I would get rid of my g-400 vintage. Its an amazing guitar and I take pride in the fact that Epiphone makes quality guitars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Dewysoss Posted April 12, 2008 Members Share Posted April 12, 2008 Kinda. Most of the guys at Schecter are cockbags, plus their endorsee list sucks fat balls (I mean, you've got Prong, Type O Negative, and Papa Roach They do have Jeff Loomis though) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Kasper Posted April 12, 2008 Members Share Posted April 12, 2008 I'm just happy to play an Ibanez jazz guitar, if I look which jazz players have played them at some point, George Benson, Joe Pass, Pat Metheny, lots of others, I just feel like I'm in great company. Also on the Shadows & Light dvd, which is one of my favourite concert videos, Joni Mitchell uses an archtop Ibby, I just feel even better about my guitar when I see that. But I guess I could have this with a lot of brands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
