What guitar rocks your recording world?
What guitar rocks your recording world?
What's your favorite guitar for recording? My favorite electric is a '62 Fender Tele Custom and my favorite bass is a Fender Jazz bass.

Re: What guitar rocks your recording world?
This could easily turn into one of those endless threads. I've got a frankenstrat made up of an ash ProTone Strat body, a '54 reissue MIJ maple neck, a Callaham bridge, and Bill Lawrence 280 and 290 pickups. It's one of the best-playing, fullest-sounding guitars I've ever used, and sounds terrific through my Tech 21 PSA-1 and some little tube amps.
I also really, really, really like the DeArmond Starfire reissue I have--the best Korean guitar I've ever played.

Re: What guitar rocks your recording world?
i don't think i've yet found best guitar for me when recording.
For Acoustic . . . . What guitar rocks your recording world?
For Acoustic, I'd say my 70's Yamaha laminate. So Sweet. Sounds like
Robert Johnson or Skip James or something.But only if you play like
them, which I wish I could but I don't . Sorry I'm typing in the dark here
How do you get rid of the black?I can't see anything

I have a GnL SC-3, which is now discontinued, but which sounds incredible through my tweeked through my souped fender deluxe.
I love GnL guitars, but I love the SC-3 the best.

g&l asat classic -> fulldrive fulltone -> 1970's silverface twin. i love the sound of this setup live, i'm still working on recording it where i am happy. i'm getting close with my new oktava ribbon mic though..
g&l guitars rule. they put new fenders to shame.

A pal of mine plays a Klein/Matchless setup. Freakin' diabetes, man.
I like a good ol' Tele through a Princeton or Deluxe, too.

Re: What guitar rocks your recording world?
Hmmm...
I'm kinda into my setup right now...G&L Asat classic, demeter tremulator, fulltone fulldrive into one of a few different small amps I like. For late night in the apt. stuff, I use the same set up into a sans amp classic set really clean, no mic emulation, into a joe meek vc6q brit channel, compressor set low (or not at all) and the eq portion disengaged. Not a bad direct sound.

Re: What guitar rocks your recording world?
another vote for the good ol telecaster
Re: What guitar rocks your recording world?
Bill Callaham should be ready with my S-Model and T-Model guitars this summer. They are a '54 Strat and a '52 Tele replicas. They should be great. I've been using a '57 Fender Musicmaster. 3/4 scale guitars make crazy harmonics that sound cool.
I'd like something similar to an ES-295 without the pointy horn. It's a 3/4 Gibson semi-acoustic. A boutique manufacturer would be cool.

Gordon Smith - the humbuckers rule, e.g. Snuff, Leatherface, China Drum.
Here's a tip for getting a really cheap guitar that kills for saturated gain sounds: Look for a Marlin (I KNOW, I KNOW!!) 'State of the Arts' series. It's a rip off of the Ibanez Road Star. I bought one for ?45 and got another free (no shit). The pick-ups are fantastic. In fact, I just took one to get renovated 'cos I hadn't used it in 10 years. I asked the bloke if he knew much about the pick-ups 'cos I thought they sounded really good. He just looked at me a bit strange and said 'Whaddya expect from Seymour Duncan Invaders?!?'
Wtf?! What're they? I had no idea - I just knew that through a Marshall 4x12 (4 25 Watt Celestions) and a JCM800 with full pre-amp they shred. SHRED! Like fucking doom - serious KKKERRRUUNCHHH on the 'ol fast down-strokes routine.
The repair bloke told me the Invaders are ?200 of humbucker!! Sheee-it.

Re: What guitar rocks your recording world?
Different guitars for different parts
....but what really rocks my world is the
DeLonghi Cafe Sorrento expresso maker..black with the white plastic steamer..i had it modded with a jensen transformer....saving $10 a day on ripoff nyc coffee cafe prices...
Seriously...1980's Fender Japanese tele..basswood body..beat to shit no finish...duncan broadcaster bridge p/u... Ibanez super 70's humbucker in the neck.....I use this to track most of my rhythm guitar parts.
It's an amazing sounding guitar....
then strats/les paul/ cheap 60's japanese guitars for the rest
"so many guitars so little cash"
