Members honeyiscool Posted April 20, 2012 Members Share Posted April 20, 2012 Seriously, why do people do this? And Paul's not even trying on this one. Is that knobs on the painted f-hole? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members sxyryan Posted April 20, 2012 Members Share Posted April 20, 2012 I do some higher gain stuff, rarely amplified by a PA, so it works good for me. Not really into the painted F holes on Ibanez stuff (and other shredder types), though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members honeyiscool Posted April 20, 2012 Author Members Share Posted April 20, 2012 At least the painted F-hole could be matted, why would you adorn such a classy instrument with something so fake? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members BoneNut Posted April 20, 2012 Members Share Posted April 20, 2012 Seriously, why do people do this? To indicate a hollowbody with no sound holes? Maybe they want the tone but not the feedback? Got nothing on this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BydoEmpire Posted April 20, 2012 Members Share Posted April 20, 2012 That man has dangerous amounts of guitar skill. Jumpsuit is necessary.Yup. Paul Gilbert is bad ass. He could play a pink, plastic, flower-shaped guitar and still rock out. Not a big fan of painted f-holes myself, but hey, whatever floats your boat.

Members sxyryan Posted April 20, 2012 Members Share Posted April 20, 2012 I'd personally rather have painted f holes than figured maple or competition racing stripes, but that's just me. Depends on the shape of the guitar too, but those general rules apply for all of my personal instruments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Edward Posted April 20, 2012 Members Share Posted April 20, 2012 It's no different than pointy body shapes, quilted maple or burst finishes.... it's just a look.

Members arrowhen Posted April 21, 2012 Members Share Posted April 21, 2012 Gotta love HCEG. Ugly guitar decorations (as long as they're traditional ugly guitar decorations, of course!) are a matter of personal taste, live and let live, who are we to judge? But "hair metal > Nirvana" is both incontrovertible scientific fact and unquestionable religious dogma. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
