Members Wyatt Posted October 16, 2010 Members Share Posted October 16, 2010 Myself, at 5'9" and 195lbs. don't think I cna have an opinion. But this thread made me think of Tad Doyle out of Seattle (the reason TAD didn't find the same mainstream success as a lot of Seattle Subpop bands is usually put on A&R guys not thinking he was telegenic enough for MTV)... Then... Now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Warfish Posted October 16, 2010 Author Members Share Posted October 16, 2010 One of my favorites (though embarassing) artists is Jon Crosby of VAST. He's got the same issues, went from a thin young man, to a big ol dude. Of course, in truth it doesn't matter, I'm a strictly bedroom guitarist. But with that said, still feels small playing most axes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Doctor49 Posted October 17, 2010 Members Share Posted October 17, 2010 Buddy Whittington is a big boy. and he plays almost everything in one hand position. No rushing up and down the neck for him! Anyway, my favourite.....Warren Haynes, the hardest working guitarist in the business.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members kadrocker Posted October 17, 2010 Members Share Posted October 17, 2010 I'm a big guy. I've always wanted a Mustang- until I played one- it felt great- it just was so small on me. It looked like a toy. Still want one, but won't ever get it. Dang! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members doppelbanger Posted October 17, 2010 Members Share Posted October 17, 2010 I don't mind fat guitarists as much as seeing uber buff guitarists. Especially the ones who decide to wear muscle shirts on stage. Just looks dumb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
