I remember reading a newspaper serialisation from a book by Desmond Morris (The Naked Ape guy, although I think this was from a later book) in which argued that the traditional Spanish guitar represented a woman's body but in the modern era the shape of the electric guitar had been morphed to represent a penis. I'm not suggesting that the idea should be taken very seriously, but there's enough plausibility in it to add an extra layer of absurdity to people calling their Strats "she".
For me, music is a way to get away from that mess.
I'm deeply cynical about people retroactively claiming design purposes on things. If Desmond's penis looks like a Strat, he needs to see a doctor.
I'll get me coat...
Because he was out standing in his field.
Did you ever try different pickups in them?
As to the term "she", i don't see what's wrong with it.
Except the poster complaining showing his age, insecurities or own predilections maybe..
It's often used to show endearment; or did before the world invented 4 new genders, a couple of new sexes and the Offendotron race.
Rather than condemning or altering a word/term's connotations as befits each generation, may we stick to what's implied by it? And whether it's meant positively or derogatively?
The thread is about stuff that makes you cringe. I said that this particular thing is a bit weird. You made it into something else, but I'm the one projecting?
When People chase tone with no concept of how it fits in a mix (Lived it)
Inspired by previous comment on TPS, when people won't consider Digital/Solidstate because they didn't like Digitech in the 90's.
ignoring the fact raising or lowering your pickup height 0.25cm will have more of an effect on the tone of a guitar. Than most things people say is the reason their guitar sounds great.
And in fact, in isolation quite often sound different from what everyone thinks they do, let alone how the original amp sounded in the room before it was mic'ed and EQ'd at the desk.
