Incidentally, got my RG Prestige 7-string today. Fucker is THICK. Time to start learning some Pig Destroyer riffs.

Which model is it? Pics, or it didn't happen!

Okay, I must pose a question.  I want a new guitar, I like single coil sounds with lots of distortion and the clean Strat sounds a la Built to Spill, Yo La Tengo, Dinosaur Jr. and Sonic Youth.  BUT!  I also really like The Weakerthans and want to start a band that sounds like them.  I really want a Jazzmaster, because (I think) it can give me all those sounds as I mentioned before, but I'm not so sure about sounding like The Weakerthans.  I was thinking a semi-hollow would work well for folk rock or folk punk.

I guess I'm going to pose two questions here: Jazzmaster or '59 Dano? (I plan to use a Voodoo Labs Superfuzz with whichever one.  I'm leaning more towards the Jazzmaster because of the warmer soap bar pickups.)

and

Would a semi-hollow allow me to sound similar to the guitarists in The Weakerthans?

I would appreciate some help, because I can never make up my mind.  :|

Maybe an HSS strat?

If you want Yo La Tengo,  :-D Jr. or Sonic Youth sounds, get a Jag. Seriously, the guitarists from EVERY ONE OF THOSE BANDS uses a Jaguar. Too bad the damn things are a grand and a half.

My suggestion if you don't feel like spending a butt-ton of money on a guitar thaht is a bitch and a half to set up: get a Strat and remove the string trees from the headstock. I hate those damn things anyway and I'm probably going to do it on my '06 Squier Bullet (fuck yeah, discontinued!) just so I can kill some sustain. Need a place to store your string trees when you're done taking them off, but want to keep them around just in case? Just Scotch tape them to the inside of the pickguard.

J Mascis just got a signature Jazzmaster.

Jazzmaster, Pat.
