Members Warfish Posted October 16, 2010 Members Share Posted October 16, 2010 Think BB King. Think Late-Era Jerry Garcia. Made worse when the Guitarist is also very tall as well. Other than going for a huge semi-hollow, do any other "big man" guitarists find they often look like "Fat man, little coat" when playing their electrics? Being 6'5 and 350, not exactly rock n' roll svelte. But man, sometimes when I look in the mirror, it's like I'm holding a kids toy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Deadbeat Son Posted October 16, 2010 Members Share Posted October 16, 2010 Fletcher Dragge from Pennywise is a large dude, so he has Ibanez build him custom guitars with larger than normal bodies so they don't look so freakishly small when he plays them.

Members Cobalt Blue Posted October 16, 2010 Members Share Posted October 16, 2010 i would suggest checking out Johnny Hiland... Except Hiland is a perfect example of when it does look odd.He is an amazing musician--that is absolutely beyond question--but to me, the Hiland Signature PRS looks almost ridiculous (much, much worse than when Hiland holds a Telecaster).

Members caveman Posted October 16, 2010 Members Share Posted October 16, 2010 Me a few years back at 320 lbs. Undiagnosed food allergies damn near killed me. You'd think that one of the 5 different doctors I saw would have heard of gluten. The wife picked up a health magazine in the checkout line and found all my symptoms. Anyway, we cut all wheat and gluten out of my diet and I started feeling better in a day or two. My diabetes went completely away and I'm down to about 235 lbs.
