    Anything with fake wear is uncool. 

    Yay or nay? I think real wear = cool (regardless of how it looks, it's real and has a story) whereas fake wer is like taking a saxo and putting a body kit on it. 

    Contraversial.

    I'd respond by saying Cunetto's are the only cool relics as they were the first (and I have one).

    Nah. Most things with fake wear are uncool (factory-churned stuff like Roadworns and Fender Heavy relics), but not all. 

    Exhibit A for the defense

    OK a few nominations...

    AVRI 62 Jazzmaster with added Mastery, Mojo custom winds and a Staytrem arm. Pictured with vintage Korg synth and Micropops, plus Vampower for added icicles...

    image

    Fender MIJ Jaguar in CAR with matching headstock, AVRI pickups, Mastery, AVRI trem

    image

    No longer mine but I'm sure @stonevibe won't mind... Ladies and Gentlemen I give you the mighty Jeleguar (Oil City pickups, custom body, AVRI trem, Staytrem bridge, Allparts neck...)

    image

    Final one for now... the 1972 Tele partser. Sadly I can't find the picture of it being swung through a drumkit on stage at CBGB's before I owned it... its seen life. Lots of it.

    @impmann

    Whilst I think Sunbeam's are very cool, what on earth is sporting about that?

    0-60 in 16 seconds. You'd time its laps with a calendar.

    Wrong forum, my friend. :-) But suffice to say, its about how it goes through the twisties - and look at what cars are doing well in the HSCC races against titans like the Lotus Cortinas to see what can be achieved.

    Hmm... I actually think I agree.  If they were the original idea, then it's quite a cool thing.  

    But they won't go anywhere near the fridge.

  • @impmann do you know a lot about synths? 

    I've been listening to a lot of warpaint recently and it's made me quite fancy one.

    Seriously Uncool - Most superstrats and weird pointy stuff (not BC rich, they somewhere between uncool and cool)


    Uncool - most superstrats and other functional guitars...Strats in general, PRS's

    Cool - Flying V's, Explorers, LP standards (no fancy tops), Iceman's, Yammy SG's, Ibanez Artists, Jazz masters, jaguars, and of course Tele's

    Ice Cold - 70's Silverburst LP, LP Customs especially white (old ones that age into a nice cream), Black SG's with bat wing pickguards, Gretsch White Falcon

    @GavHaus might be your man for that
    The Bigsby was the first successful design of what is now called a whammy bar or tremolo arm, although vibrato is the technically correct term for the musical effect it produces. In standard usage, tremolo is a rapid fluctuation of the volume of a note, while vibrato is a fluctuation in pitch. The origin of this nonstandard usage of the term by electric guitarists is attributed to Leo Fender, who also used the term “vibrato” to refer to what is really a tremolo effect.

    @samzadgan so you'd rate the SG on the right then? Its my fave SG and will probably go in my coffin.

    Not as much as guitars, but a bit. I don't know anything by Warpaint, though...

  • They use Nord synths live, and most of the record will be soft synths I think. A Roland Juno would be where my money would go if I were buying... Or an old Moog Opus etc. My band uses a lot of synth, but ours is all programmed.

    7 string guitars are seriously uncool. And, if you are shorter than me I'm doing a Hammond on you and putting this right at the top if the Uncool wall so you can't reach it.

    The only guitar with more strings than it should have that's cool is a Fender Bass VI.
