Hanger-On Registered: Feb. 02	I have owned Fender guitars and they just don't do it for me, the stock single coil pickups suck ass, and the overall tone seems thin and reedy. I have ended up over the last 12 or so years only playing Gibson electrics, SG's to be exact. I play heavier Sabbath styled rock through a reissue Orange 140 watt head and two 4x12 cabs. What is your equip. set -up? Rest In Peace ,Stuart Adamson of Big Country -1958-2001

O&A Board Regular Registered: Jan. 01	I have one of both and like each for different reasons. I have a Fender Strat '58 reissue, which I love to play blues and clean stuff with, when I'm in Stevie Ray mode. Also I've got a '60 reissue Les Paul, which I love to kick on the distortion and go hard/heavy with. It's got a lot of low end, a lot of sustain, awesome Zakk Wylde style artificial harmonics. It kicks ass. Now I'm looking for a guitar that's got the best of both... maybe go for a PRS next time.. not sure. As for amps, I've always had crappy solid state ones due to lack of funds... but one of these days I am definitely gonna go tube with a Boogie. I've wanted one forever. Oh.. and my baby is my Taylor 810 acoustic. I bought it earlier this year and have not put it down since.. not even to play my electrics. I'm in love. Message to those concerned with my smoking habit.... mamma didn't raise no quitter.

Psychopath Registered: Jan. 02	I play an American made Strat from 2000 (I think). I love it and love the sound. Fenders kick ass, but I will admitt that if I could have any gutiar in the world I would take a Gibson Les Paul. Those are the greatest guitars ever made. "What have we done with innocence.

All this time to make amends, what do you do when all your enemies are friends. Now and then I'll try to bend, under pressure wind up snapping in the end. One in ten, one in ten, one in ten. Don't want to be your monkey wrench, one more indecent accident. I'd rather leave than suffer this, I'll never be your monkey wrench. Tell me, tell me, tell me. One last thing before I quit I never wanted any more than I could fit into my head. I still remember every single word you said and all the shit that somehow came along with it. Still there's one thing that comforts me since I was always caged and now I'm free.

Psychopath Registered: Dec. 01	Let's see, I have a Fender American Deluxe Strat. The Deluxe has a humbucker in the bridge position, and really beefs up the distrotion. I have a Epiphone Les Paul, with Gisbon Studio electronics. Love that guitar. I have a black BC Rich Warlock, heh this one is pretty much a goof. The last electric I have is a ESP LTD. Another meaty sounding guitar. Then I have an acoustic, 6 strigs and a hole... Here's my rig...

Psychopath Registered: Jan. 02	CarsonOgin, my respect for you just tripled by five. Only a true guitarists keeps a picture of his rig lying around. My rig sucks. I got a Zoom 707 pedal (not bad for the price) and a Crate (shut-up) amp. I know playing a strat with a Crate is like driving a Jaguar with no engine, but I'm broke.

O&A Board Regular Registered: Jan. 01	I am mainly a Gibson guy, I have a '61 Reissue SG which plays very nicely and sounds great. I play this through a Marshall TSL602 2x12 60 watt combo. This amp is great. 3 channels (clean, crunch, and lead) and can handle anything from clean blues sounds, all the way to the heaviest shredding and everything in between. ON YOUR KNEES, BITCHES!!!!!!

Psychopath Registered: Nov. 01	i like SGs also. but do you find the action a little high? the ones i have played were a little high. i know you can adjust gibson bridges but do the strings buzz more with an SG than any other type of guitar? 'send transmission from the one armed scissor' -ATDI

O&A Board Regular Registered: Jan. 01	The action can be a little high on some SGs, depending on which neck style it has. Mine has the slim taper neck, which is very flexible, so you have to keep the action a little high. I prefer that though. Les Pauls are built like rocks, so you can lower the action to almost nothing without buzzing. ON YOUR KNEES, BITCHES!!!!!!
