Members onelife Posted September 7, 2011 Members Share Posted September 7, 2011 Is the word 'killer' used to describe something positive about a guitar? If so, is it just a term used by Americans who declare war on everything from drugs to poverty? It always makes me think of a guitar with a large bayonet protruding from the headstock. Not something that represents what I am trying to do through my music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members EvilMinstrel Posted September 7, 2011 Members Share Posted September 7, 2011 Killer is a Japanese guitar company that makes Akira Takasaki's (Loudness) instruments. I had one for a while, pretty nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members cratz2 Posted September 7, 2011 Members Share Posted September 7, 2011 I'm 39 years old... the word killer was used in my circle back when I was 12-15 or so. These days, it seems mostly burnout types use it and the word 'man' is almost always at the end of the sentence, as in, 'This is a KILLER amp, man!'. No offense to burnout types.
