police squad Posted October 29, 2023 Share Posted October 29, 2023 I bought this recently, for my 80s duo and band. It is the most pink colour ever. Neon, very hard to photograph Anyway, I've already upgraded the pickups to Yonderbosk and changed the volume pot for the thing that BM currently uses live 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EdwardMarlowe Posted November 13, 2023 Share Posted November 13, 2023 That's fun. The challenge with such a distinctive instrument is making it your own; going for such an atypical colour can, imo, help with that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way I play guitar, any guitar, it's instantly recognisable as 'my own', however 'distinctive' it may be..! Fat chance of being taken for Brian May, using a 'Red', still less Hendrix with a Strat, or Alvin Lee with a 335..! Quality will out, and those players have qualities that I do not. I stand out in any crowd of players; just maybe not for the right reasons..! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I shied away from Hendrixing a Strat for years because those comparisons would..... not be flattering.... now for that very reason I'm tempted because there's no way anyone could accuse me of sounding like him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did the upside strat many years ago. Sounded great but upper fret access was terrible. Sold it to a lefty handed mate in 1990 and he still uses it now 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My very marked preference for a 21 fret over a 22 is purely aesthetic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
