And the result is that I (and others in here) find mainstream guitars to be utterly boring. As fields5069 said, I find most guitar shops to be just a huge wall of blandness 'cos that's what sells
Nothing I can do about that - I'm never going to, nor would I even want to, change anyone's minds - everyone's entitled to like what they want to like. So I'll remain "grudgingly tolerant" as merciful-evans put it
It's literally wanting one company who make their own style of product to start making the style of products that other companies make. What would be the benefit?
I don't know anything about motorbikes but it's like trying Tetley and Typhoo, preferring Tetley so moaning that Typhoo don't make teabags like Tetley rather than just buying the one you prefer.
Bit late in the discussion, but have you seen these? Fender Aerodyne Stratocaster MIJ.
The neck's were apparently slimmer than standard, but I doubt the heel will be more ergonomic
Sorry about that @lysander , I really didn't mean to come across like that.
It's great that other brands are out there making the innovations that the big 2 can't though. ESP/LTD and PRS are good, established makers refining classic designs. Ibanez will offer almost any variation of the classic strat. Boutique builders like Feline will take that even further.
Yeah, Fender and Gibson are a bit boring, because their share price history shows that they need to be, but there are other cool options.
I'd be really interested to see guitars that aren't made of wood become properly mainstream though!
