There is no 'H' in Aych, you know that don't you? ~ Wife
Turns out there is an H in Haych! ~ Sporky
Bit of trading feedback here.
Before I'd ever even picked up a guitar I assumed that on a 2 pickup guitar one was for the distortion sound and one was for clean.
Edit: and I thought that a Big Muff was called a Super Fuzz Big Muff because I saw that on a Mudhoney record - I didn't realise for a few years that they were two different things (in my defense I didn't play guitar at that time!).
I was wrong on both accounts.
I thought they were a guitar that people used because they were simple when they were the lead singer and didn't play guitar properly
*An Official Foo-Approved guitarist since Sept 2023.
For me, I used to think that Ibanez superstrats - especially anything dayglo coloured and/or with HSH pickups - were the very last guitar I would ever want to own... I didn't like the look of them, the necks, or the type of music they were associated with. Now there's one in my house, although sadly it's only on loan and is black. But two of my own guitars are now HSH as well, and one has dayglo pickups!

I was brought up playing guitars and indeed selling them from around 76 on-wards - So my early experience working in the shop with my dad was that I disliked maple necks/fingerboards - Simple reason in that Fender models from the mid/late 70's had a treacle thick finish on the 7.25" board, that also went over the skinny frets - Add a mediocre build quality and easy to think you did not get on with such Strat's and Tele's - It was much later when I realised that a good maple neck/board is a nice instrument to play/own - Possibly late 80's when I started to get this fact - Strat Plus with a flatter radius, bigger frets, then models like the Music Man EVH + Super Sport, then later a Custom Shop once spec'd with a 9.5" radius + 6100/6105,6150 frets - No forgetting the original HM Strat with the graffiti logo and dayglo finish and probably the odd Ibanez RG, not that I'm a fan of the waif like Wizard necks
I've got one because a) I thought I ought to, and b) I fell in love with a body for sale on here and so a partscaster happened. But it doesn't get used much, pretty as it is... I just don't "get" Teles, I think.
