But buying the same guitar as everyone else is the opposite of counter culture.
You literally can’t get more mainstream than Fender and Gibson
Or would you say there are other brands that use humbuckers but have their own distinct sound that aren't PRS or Ibanez?
Was there really a lot of the big nu metal bands playing PRS at the time?
Linkin Park
POD
Limp Bizkit
Hoobastank
Staind
7 string Nu Metal was mostly Ibanez though.
If I sat down with bunch of guitars and found out that objectively the closest one to say, the 'My Generation' Who sound was a PRS, I'd buy a Rickenbacker. (got one anyway )
Was the Linkin Park guy playing PRS when Nu Metal was big or did he move on to use them in later years?
Guess it's just that none of the Nu Metal bands I was in to used them except POD. Before this thread I'd have never known PRS had any association with the genre.
the genres that I tend to like embrace the PRS and you’re just as likely to see one as a Gibson or Fender. You’ll also see other cool brands like Charvel, ESP, Musicman and Ibanez.
Seems like a few people on here are old.
I only ask cause when I googled for photos, any of the ones from back in the day seemed to have him playing an Ibanez or a Fender-style guitar and any where he has a PRS are from way later.
Its just amazing how certain words start threads like this...
Nibs.. there I said it :P
