Members wrxplayer Posted January 9, 2010 Members Share Posted January 9, 2010 Ok, this is wholly driven by vanity. I admit it. I'm on the board of education where we live. Friday night, our high school is holding its "battle of the bands" and for the second year I'm playing in a "guest act" band made up of our superintendent, two high school teachers, an assistant principal, and me. I'm playing "lead" (used loosely). I'm trying to decide which guitar to use. The choice is among the three pictured below (l to r Fender, Fano, Hamer). The deciding factor is "which looks coolest" as the tonal differences matter less and the songs sound pretty good with each. I guess if aske "cooler to whom?" I answer those in the audience who play guitar and of course the members of the several competing bands. What do you think? And thanks for your input.

Members Dougie.Douglas Posted January 9, 2010 Members Share Posted January 9, 2010 I'd go with the Hamer - that thing looks like it can kick all kinds of ass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ChrisGansz Posted January 9, 2010 Members Share Posted January 9, 2010 Go with the Tele for maximum cool benefit as well as sounding good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members csm Posted January 9, 2010 Members Share Posted January 9, 2010 Sorry, can't tell which is coolest without seeing ALL the headstocks. C'mon, you know how this {censored} works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JRicoC Posted January 9, 2010 Members Share Posted January 9, 2010 If coolness is the sole criterion then it's easily the one in the middle. The Tele looks too "country" and the one on the right looks too "hair band"; both being the antithesis of cool... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members gergbee Posted January 9, 2010 Members Share Posted January 9, 2010 Use them all. Impress 'em by having a three guitar stand and change guitars after every song... cause it's all about the correct "tone" ya know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Surrealistic Posted January 9, 2010 Members Share Posted January 9, 2010 As a big fan of aesthetic understatement I'd say the guitars are in descending order of coolness from left to right (i.e. classy understated & cool Tele down to the flashy, trying-too-hard Hamer) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members cratz2 Posted January 9, 2010 Members Share Posted January 9, 2010 My guess it the Tele would win if put to a vote for folks over 25 or so and the Hamer would win if put to a vote for folks under 25 so for high school students, go for the HAMER!

Members Dewysoss Posted January 9, 2010 Members Share Posted January 9, 2010 Ok, guys, from what I read he's trying to impress high school kids. Hamer. Because it has a flame top. Kids my age could give a {censored} about a tele, but they go ape {censored} over flashy guitars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members faberbz Posted January 9, 2010 Members Share Posted January 9, 2010 The middle one (is it a Fano?). It's got that understated retro thing going on. Non-players won't see the Tele as too cool, or at least not as cool as it really is, unless they're country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
