Re: This Might Be The Craziest Guitar I've Ever Seen
Not really. In fact, I never made the same guitar twice. Maybe in shape, but never in specs, features, woods, pickups etc etc. Get your facts straight.
About Brian May: he stated that in multiple interviews that the Red Special is a bit complicated. About fx: I don't like effects, never have. But using a delay, echo, chorus etc etc to add flavor, cool. But to build it inside a guitar? Imho, useless. It's useless because it implies you'd only use ONE guitar for your entire career. it's useless because the whole thing is so complicated, one little error or problem and you're bound to spend a lot of time trouble shooting it. With pedals it's much easier to find the problem and fix it or work around it. It's useless because the switches and pots are likely in the way of playing. Agileguy came with my perceived lack of imagination and creativity whereas I think that most great music was written with much less electrickery. Sure, some bands use a lot of fx and can make it work and use it in a musical way. But it's my opinion that I think it's too much. Since when are you busting balls about opinion, by the way? Just because I don't agree with the consensus here, or have a strong opinion, is reason enough to start personal attacks? Can't remember ever attacking you, Kam, Agileguy, MyAccount876? Don't remember going on a frenzy about your opinion or idea if it didn't gel with my opinions or ideas? So, tell me. What's cookin?
