Re: Your Exclusive Guitar Contract

Jackson guitars hands down. Bogner amps(If I could have em tweak an uberschall for me) Pedals: Dunlop, and MXR.
 
Re: Your Exclusive Guitar Contract

Gibson Guitars. Mesa Boogie Amps. I've had ideas for a custom explorer that incorporates maple body pieces. And a Mesa Mark V would set me for the rest of forever. with the switchable wattage and extreme versatility the amp would floor me in termsof reliability and sound.

Fender :notworthy

Because the options and models ore potentialy endless

and they own: Gretsch, Guild and Tecoma (for the acoustics),
Sunn Amplifiers, Charvel and Jackson, DeArmond, SWR amps
and EVH amps and products.

Sky is the limit :headbang:
 
Re: Your Exclusive Guitar Contract

PRS for guitars. I Can get the LP and Super STrats to suit my style. Also a sweet acoustic.

Fryette for amps.
 
Re: Your Exclusive Guitar Contract

KxK/Marshall. KxK because even though they have a metal image, they're trying to branch out (and they CAN build just about anything), and I'd like a super-thin, LP-Sig hollowbody shape as 'my' guitar. He'd probably do it as long as I was a big enough name to get him some business. He had KK Downing recently, but as he's quit Priest, I don't know if that's doing him any good or not. Marshall because, well, it's Marshall. I'd take one of the VM series and never look back. No pedals, no effects.

For example, if this were a 6, I'd definitely rock it. Of course, I'd need the $$ to buy it, but that's the story of my life:

Jackson usa no doubt about it. Best quality instruments for the dollar! Custom shop swee-tone ftw!
 
Re: Your Exclusive Guitar Contract

Carvin. I can live with the amps and the guitars are killer + they have decent PA gear and the bass stuff also kills. The necks stomp the crap out of a Jackson and the over all build of the guitars is the =. I once owned 14 or so Carvins at one time. They also will do more than you guys think if you get to the right folks. At one time we had talked about the old 1990's shreader neck carve with a 20 radius board and Jumbo SS frets on new one so---.
My old Carvin collection.

I hate this endorsement crap with a passion.

I'd rather starve. It doesn't make any sense. Anybody who would get an offer for this is obviously successful enough to survive on their own.

I'd honestly like to do it just to get KxK out there, more. Just having seen the trials and tribulations of a small builder trying to get his name out and spending some time around the shop really makes me wish I could help.

Two things:

First, you don't have to be mega-successful to get endorsements. And if you're not raking in big money, its pretty nice to get stuff for free/heavily discounted.

Second, the main goal of endorsements isn't to give a break to endorsee. It's advertising.

Yup. My drummer is endorsed, and that's pretty much it. He gets a break for when he needs stuff, and we in return, advertise for them directly or indirectly.

As for myself, if I have the choice (which is a funny concept), I'd probably go with Gibson guitars. My staple tone is humbuckers with a LP type wood combo, and I think if you pair that up with a good ES type guitar, and an SG, you can get killer tones. I'd miss my strat, but I'd live.
 
Re: Your Exclusive Guitar Contract

I know what it's about but it's still false advertising.

The ads say "this guy uses" not "we payed this guy to use".

You can argue the person voluntarily chose the gear in question but then you can do that without paying him to stop using the other stuff.

I appreciate your position, but this thread isn't about examining endorsements as an industry practice. To phrase my OP another way, imagine that for some irrelevant, silly reason, you are stuck with one brand of guitars for the rest of your life. Which one do you pick?

To elaborate: Why? Would you use their custom shop? How far would you push said custom shop?

See? It's supposed to be fun!
 
Re: Your Exclusive Guitar Contract

If I say Fender, can I include all FMIC brands, such as Gretsch and Guild?

If so, Fender is definitely my answer.

If not, it's probably still Fender.

It's tempting, but I have to say "brand" = "name on the headstock".

What? Topic drift is a sport, not something to be ashamed of :)

I'm gonna say Fender (not that they need it). Decent company, makes the products people want, doesn't punch holes into everything. I'd do their vintage models out of the CS, except probably demand a neck with an Ebony board. Absolutely no other custom fiddling.
