Members noquarter1983 Posted September 14, 2005 Members Share Posted September 14, 2005 Okay, here's something to piece together. Pick some different brands and models of guitars and name their most common style. I'll start Fender Strat - BluesFender Telecaster - CountryRickenbacker - 50's rock n roll name some more you guys think up.. i.e. SG, Les Paul, Ibanez, PRS, etc... I don't want people saying "blah blah you can use a Les paul for blues if you want".... I know that but I am looking for the guitars most cliche style. Go ahead..

Members Roy Brooks Posted September 14, 2005 Members Share Posted September 14, 2005 I have never thought of Rickenbackers as 50s rock & roll guitars. I tend to associate them with mid-sixties Beatle-esque pop.ES-175- jazz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members El Glom-o Posted September 14, 2005 Members Share Posted September 14, 2005 Are there any stereotypes for Gibson Firebirds and Flying V's? I'm thinking blues because of Johnny Winter and Albert King using them, but I don't know if those examples make a stereotype. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members AunShui Posted September 14, 2005 Members Share Posted September 14, 2005 Jaguar: Grunge (Nirvana), possibly surf rock brunog- I've never imagined an SG as an emo guitar, although it is of course possible. I've always thought of them as a modern punk guitar, possibly metal, and of course, Who-esque rock. And just throwing this out there...when I saw Maiden at ozzfest this summer, they were all using strats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am willing to bet that a lot of people would agree with me that the strat is usually associated with blues and a tele is about as country as guitar gets.

I'd say the Tele is at least as much "blues" as the Strat. Muddy Waters, Roy Buchanan, Albert Collins come to mind instantly. I will grant that the Tele is more country than the Strat, but not exclusively. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
