Members Severed Pumpkin Posted April 15, 2009 Members Share Posted April 15, 2009 ^^ So it's a Strat with a basewood body and flame maple top. If it looks like a duck and sounds like a duck... "Basewood?" You obviously know nothing about tonewoods. These kinds of comments usually come from those who have never played a Suhr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These kinds of comments usually come from those who have never played a Suhr. Making a typo at 3AM =/= not knowing about tonewoods, dick. Still doesn't help your "not a strat" argument.

Members Severed Pumpkin Posted April 15, 2009 Members Share Posted April 15, 2009 Making a typo at 3AM =/= knowing about tonewoods, dick. Still doesn't help your "not a strat" argument. No need to get your panties all in a bunch, fancy girl. It's not only your 'alleged' typo that is questionable, it's mainly your statements, "So it's a Strat with a basewood body and flame maple top. If it looks like a duck and sounds like a duck..." First of all, how many Strats do you know of that have a basswood body, let alone a flame maple top in addition? 99% of Strat bodies are either alder or ash. This makes a big difference tonally, and proves my point that you know nothing about tonewoods. Fender just lost a huge 6 year legal battle over the shape of their guitars (of which Suhr and over a dozen other companies were involved). They neglected to trademark these shapes over the decades. The court ruling stated that the Stratocaster (and Tele) shape has been so widely used by so many companies, for so many years, that it is not a shape that is unique to Fender. Tonally, the S3 has some Strat-like tones, but is definitely not a Strat replica. It also has some Tele-like, PRS-like (etc, etc) tones and the hot bridge humbucker further distances the S3 from being naively regarded as a Strat. How can you make such a strong assumption about the S3 if you've never played one? :poke: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just one, but it's enough to link the label Strat to the Shur. http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/StratAeCNat Serve'd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're using a one-off anomaly to link the Strat to the Suhr? Are you serious? It's nothing of significance. Nobody in their right mind associates Strat tones with basswood and flame maple tops...That's like saying if Gibson did a one-off "Les Paul" with a swamp ash body and 1 piece maple neck that it's still a Les Paul. Of course, just like Fender would still ignorantly call their basswood guitar a Strat, Gibson would surely call their ash guitar a Les Paul, however the vast majority of guitar players would never consider those guitars as a real Strat or a real Les Paul. You can glue some strings to a piece of driftwood and call it a guitar...but any sane person will know and tell you it certainly isn't. You're a naive victim brainwashed by corporate branding.

Members otherdimensions Posted April 15, 2009 Members Share Posted April 15, 2009 Guitars are meant to be played and destroyed, end of story... it doesn't matter what similarities a guitar has to another one, they are inanimate, and ego-less. They're pieces of wood... seriously, what the {censored} people? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
