Members duncan Posted December 13, 2012 Author Members Share Posted December 13, 2012 Depends. If you rolled in with your strat, I'd be like...wtf. This is gonna blow. Your tele? I bet this band rules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've gotten this borrowing a friend's Sunn. I love the amp, but hate the poseur backwash. I'm pretty partial to seeing punk bands plug in strats, though. I think the tones can be less distortion saturated and have a little more cut which is ideal for what many of these bands are going for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members colejustesen Posted December 13, 2012 Members Share Posted December 13, 2012 I would probably get the same looks from duncan when I showed up to play with my early 90s Yamaha Pacifica guitars... That being said, I totally get what you are saying. If I see someone pull out a Squier or low end Jackson and BC rich, I wonder what I will be hearing next. However, when I see someone pull out a less than stellar guitar and then a nice amp, it changes my opinion of what the outcome is going to be... Weird, how preconceived notions can make one judgmental.... Cole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have proven that wrong on so many Gotdamn occasions. Anyway I rarely roll up with a strat even though I've played them since I started. I really look at the entire rig overall. If I see a boss loaded pedal board, and a basic amp with strat or Epi guitars I will cringe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members '63-Strat Posted December 13, 2012 Members Share Posted December 13, 2012 There have been a couple times when I've been pleasantly surprised but overall, I agree about squier/epi/low-end jackson/bc rich etc. I'd say it's about 50/50 with boutique gear too though, fwiw. Just as likely to sound like noobs as they are gods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members HKSblade1 Posted December 13, 2012 Members Share Posted December 13, 2012 I've seen great performances on Hello Kitty Strats and $99 GC Epi LP's so.. no, I have no preconceived notions of players with certain guitars in use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members soundgardener75 Posted December 13, 2012 Members Share Posted December 13, 2012 Whenever I'd roll my Ampeg halfstack onstage, the soundguys always go "You're the guitarist? Why are you using a bass rig too?" And I had my Fender John5 Tele, Epi G400 and Washburn N1 always on me. I'm just fortunate that I know what I'm doing, and you gotta love most reactions of "That's an interesting choice of rig you have, but you sound really good!". If I can only play as well as most of you guise here... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
