Re: Gearhead Thread
Well it can also be a silly discussion because unless we can pick apart each of these players actual guitars then who fucking knows what electronics and mods they have in them. No?

Adrian Belew's shows with Talking Heads are legendary, no doubt.

Re: Gearhead Thread
The fact that you can get SRV's buttery bluesy tones to some of the best punk rock shit out of them .....strats are pretty cool, guys.

Re: Gearhead Thread
i think fenders in general are pretty unforgiving. You can't really hide behind much with them. Theyre fun to play.

Re: Gearhead Thread
Did SRV have a custom bridge installed to handle those heavier gauge strings?

I don't know, but Fenders back in the 50s/60s used to ship with 12-52 strings as standard.Ello Sailor wrote:Did SRV have a custom bridge installed to handle those heavier gauge strings?
The normal Strat bridge should handle heavier gauges without breaking a sweat.
I don't really think about SRV at all.Ello Sailor wrote:He's got beef with Stevie Ray? Say it ain't so!

Re: Gearhead Thread
He also tuned down 1/2 step so that probably eases some tension with 13 gauge

They’re all the same and a great player can make a trash heap guitar sound good.
Pedals.

Re: Gearhead Thread
I keep browsing guitars and they’re all over my FB feed so kinda hard to avoid.
I want to just pull the damn trigger on a Fender jaguar and be done with it. Maybe I can stop window shopping at that point. But I don’t feel worthy. Yet.

Anyone have a BeatBuddy or Beatbuddy mini 2?
These look like a bit of fun.
