Rickenbackers are sex, and they are also high on the list of "guitars I love, but why would I buy one?"
On that list:
- Gretsch
- D'Angelico
- Rickenbacker
- Any Gibson hollowbody ever.
I play too much distorted metal/rock stuff to merit one of those.
Anyway, I really love the repartee in the first part of this thread. Gibson breaks easily? Answer: buy Fender. My waffles have been roffled! Gibson and Fender are the two best known guitar brands on the planet - but they do completely different things. Gibson is known for set-neck axes with 'buckers or at least P-90s, and often a fat, crunchy sound. Exceptions here and there, but that is really their main motif.
Fender, on the other hand, is the twang-banger's brand. Lightweight bodies, single-coil pups (sometimes humbuckers, but i don't really like the ones Fender uses in the Fat Strats) and - gasp - 21 frets. That's probably my biggest turn-off with Fender guitars. The stock 21 frets. At least give me the Gibson 22 so I can bend to the 24th when I want to.
They're both great guitar makers, and I'm planning to buy a Strat sometime - but I like my LP for now.
To Khar's porcupine guitar: boo for EMG pickups. Real metal players can terrify and crush the weak christian scum with a JTM45 (or a MESA, if you would like) and a guitar with a JB in the bridge. Like, for instance, the guitar I am currently coveting - Jackson SL2H. Mmm. 24 frets, Floyd Rose, and Seymour Duncan pickups. Sex. Of course, I'm the crazy shredding guy, so I love my fast necks and whammy bar antics.
PS - Ibanez is a funny brand. I think they kind of lie about the JEMs and JS models sometimes - the trem on the guitars Satch plays looks like a Floyd, and says "Licensed Floyd Rose" on it - Edge Pro trems (the ones on the JS1200, highest commercially available model of JS) don't have that. Same with Vai's guitar. But they still say it's "100% accurate" and stuff. Go figure.

Because I'm not an idiot who only plays one kind of guitar like you Ibanez fanboys.

Why is it idiotic to play one kind of guitar?

It's not idiotic per se.. Just limiting.

That's insane.
Let's say Fenders are my preferred guitars. So I'll play them, right? And because I like them so much, I have no need for any other guitars. Why is it limiting when I have no desire or requirement for any further brand of guitar?

Eventually you're gonna want a pair of 'buckers. So you either go out and buy something with 'em, or you get another strat and shove humbuckers in it, lol.

I'm not actually a Fender loyalist, I was just making a point. Teles are my preferred guitars, but I'm not a metal player, so I'm just going to get a Tele custom with buckers in it for any work that requires that. I hate Strats with a passion.

But then I realised; I've seen much, much, much worse.

...Thankyou?
I'd type out that long rant about hating quote tunnels, arguing pointlessly and having no respect for each other, but this is the first and probably last time I'll check out this thread.
Carry on bitches!
