Sweetwater is running a contest at the moment. Winner gets to pick their PRS up to a $3000 value. 

I'm going to pick a Silver Sky and put a Fender neck on it.

This guy from Wildwood is super dorky, albeit a tad funny, in his description of the guitar, but his playing is very good and he showcases the guitar well. 

 

I've been telling anyone who will listen what a special guitar the 2014 LP Traditional is.  Those 59 Tribute humbuckers (that year only) are exceptional.  I just happened to buy one new and it sings, is really easy to play, and despite being non-weight-relieved, doesn't rest heavily when playing whilst standing. 

 

If you have the means, I highly suggest you pick one up.

For the record, this is NOT mine. NTTAWWT.  But it is available in DFW you one of you is looking to purchase. Pushed across my sales feed today.

I'd kill for that tone...

I agree, so many great rock tones come from Strats.  Knopfler, SRV, Hendrix, the list is endless.

The problem is that (in my opinion) they're better for lead than rhythm, unless the rhythm guitarist is Mark Knopfler with the fingerpicking.  There is an overtone clash that occurs with crunch chords that I don't hear in Teles or LPs or SGs or Gretsch(es).  I call it the "piano overtone" -- it's a high pitched ringing that I just can't abide.  I really struggle with Strats, because I'm a rhythm player at heart (and by limitation).

That's Greg Koch and he's a monster of a player.
 

 

Well, if Charlie weren't The Most Handsome Man In The World, that Tele body would look clunky on him.  Lucky for the guitar . . .

When you order a 59 sunburst Les Paul from Wish.com.

Yeah, Teles suck...

 

Tele tones at (here)

I took my wife to see Chuck at the Saxon early in our marriage.  Man, he was incredible.  No Charlie.  I'm pretty sure Charlie could clobber Chuck in a shredding contest, but that's not Chuck's thing.  He plays what he plays very well.

Falling down the Chuck and Charlie rabbit hole...amazing how great they sound, considering they are playing Boom's least favorite guitar.

 

I love that drummer's trashy hihat work.  They've got the Tele laser-tones working, too.

Two comments on the YouTube page, and #2 was: 

Nothing original. Just songs from 40 yrs ago that I don't want to hear anymore

 

 

I hate people.


 

 

Didn't realize those clips from the Continental Club were from the night before the world shut down due to COVID.

Chuck played 4 shows that day. That's how you do it.

Plus, the comment was from 2019, and the Stones released JJF in 1968, making the song 51 years old at the time.  If you're gonna be a dick, at least be accurate.

That's nuts. That song was on fire.

Well, if you want trashy, you get a guy from San Antonio. 

Just got a chance to listen to Kirk Covington’s new album.  It’s ridiculously good, if jazz fusion is your thing.  The guy I take lessons from is on guitar.

It is very fucking hard to beat a bound sunburst tele

For some reason that color combo doesn’t do it for me, on Tele or Strat. I can’t explain why. I tend to like the solid colors much better.

I think double bound Teles are the shit. That outline on a classic mid century design really makes it pop for me.

Any double bound Tele, sunburst or solid color, is the tits.

Bound sunburst is #2 tele after butterscotch blonde. Bound sunburst is prettier, but again it's not a guitar that's really about pretty, for me.

Strat on the other hand... sunburst tortoiseshell and then after that those great 60s auto paint near pastels.

Love the pastel strats. My Shoreline Gold has really grown on me. 

I know y'all have seen it, but here it is again.

Huge fan of the pastel strats -- oly, daphne, seafoam, fiesta, whatever.  Just iconic.

A buddy of mine basically built that guitar with a routed Tele body that he had gold-topped, along with the cream P90s and the Bigsby.  Sounds amazing.  It doesn't hurt that he's a terrific player.

I think he might have gold-topped it himself with Krylon, LOL.  I'll have to ask.

Oh and if you are going to play bass it should be like this fucking guy

db9e3ca8779e540d01604c6ea233241f.jpg

Bass down to your knees. Long hair, pantera tank, insane scowl like you just got out of prison and you really would rather just kill everyone in the crowd. Watching him sing fantastic high harmony on songs like brown eyed girl and sweet Caroline with the vibe he was throwing down was just outstanding.

I don't recognize anybody -- is that Sammy's house band at his club or what?

Shoreline gold is a much better color than a gold top, which I have always found boring. There, I said it...

Cool chart I found in digging for original Fender colors, not sure if it's accurate:

1960s Original Fender Custom Colors

Yea random house band. Very good actually. I was just getting a kick out of the bass player. Pics probably not doing his psychotic ness justice.

How about you buy it and convince us it’s what we need?

i think I'm convinced that what i actually need is a jazzmaster.

speaking of which and our recent discussion, what's the best jazzmaster color?
