just askin why ppl down fender guitars

 

Ignorance. The confusion of their tone with weakness. The fact that their Squier sounded like balls through their Crate 212 and Metal Zone. The lack of knowledge on how to set them up. A laundry list sir.

 

Gibsons are just more "elegant" than Fenders, with the set necks and the only MIA bits... I dunno, people like to knock fenders.

 

Same for Gibsons, what with the apes that do their QC, and the fact that about 50% of their headstocks just snap off as sooe as you tune it up to pitch:rolleyes:

 

{censored} what people say man. {censored} it.

 

Also, I want your amp! (RK100) Arkansas is flat enough that I could probably hear it from miles. A couple passes through the state with my windows down, and I will know right where it is. LOCK YOUR DOORS!!! ;)

Who downs Fenders? Maybe if you only hang with metalheads or something. I know a guy who downs Fenders, but he also thinks Ozzy Osbourne is the greatest singer ever, so I discount anything he says.

 

No matter how perfect something is, someone's always going to have a problem with it. That's just the way it is.

Whoopie {censored}!


:lol:

 

Are you from northern New England, by any chance? "Whoopie {censored}" was a common expression when I was growing up in Maine, but I haven't heard it again since moving away 20 years ago. In any event, thanks for the trip down amnesia lane.

The answer is pretty simple actually. Most people who get into guitar in their teens like to play metal and when they think of Fender they think of Strats with the standard SSS config. Looking at your 'strats', you don't have a single traditional one. A Jim Root sig, an HH, and an HSS..... You obviously didn't think a traditional SSS strat was good for metal either.....

 

IMO, once you deviate from the SSS setup you don't really have a 'strat' anymore. Just like if you put an SSS setup into an LP body, you don't really have a Les Paul anymore.

I don't know. Back when I'd been playing for about a month, I was looking up Fenders in I.T., the guy sitting next to me who's been playing for five years, said in the most disdainful tone possible: "you like Fender guitars?!!!?!?!?!11?!?!?!"

 

I guess it's the guys who can't be doing with any kind of emotive or soulful playing, the guys who are good at rock and shredding but fall apart when they have to play something mellow and make it actually sound good. Fenders can be used for metal, but obviously there are guitars specifically made with only rock and metal in mind that outclass Fenders in that regard. However, I use my Strat for rock, blues and metal, and it works fine for all of them.

And if it is a SG or Paul with p90's it surely isn't a SG or Les Paul anymore either. Don't know why Gibson would even bother calling them that.
