what is this guitar called
 
i've seen a few of these and been wanting to know what sort of guitar it is

 

chrome noise tape 12.14.2009 12:39 PM

the silent guitar from yamaha

 

wellcharge 12.14.2009 12:45 PM

thanks, i think the ones i see in bulgaria might be imitations since they have diff. headstocks and no yamaha logos

knox 12.14.2009 02:08 PM

i know some guy who plays a guitar like that. i cant help but feeling he must be really really really confident, to the point no one should be.?

amerikangod 12.14.2009 02:52 PM

I'd have guessed self-loathing over confidence. Like he was asking if it was ok for him to be alive.

knox 12.14.2009 03:10 PM

maybe. if you stare at him you will see these moments in which he looks down and uncertain, a second later he has the confident glow back on.

amerikangod 12.14.2009 03:20 PM

The guitar is clearly causing him turmoil.

pbradley 12.14.2009 03:27 PM

I call it the stupid studio-musician curio piece of shit.

wellcharge 12.14.2009 06:57 PM

it sounds fucking great

DeadDiscoDildo 12.14.2009 08:18 PM

Any guitar will sound great through a great amp.

wellcharge 12.14.2009 09:24 PM

you could say that, but that's oversimplifying things alot, if you look at it that way then it makes no difference what kind of guitar you have

for the most part, it doesn't.


unless you play a stratocaster. then you can fuck right off.

DeadDiscoDildo 12.14.2009 11:22 PM

Satan, I've been using a strat lately instead of my les paul. It's badass.

It's a japanese strat, one of those pink paisley ones. It's crazy....

But normally I hate strats too.

Satan 12.14.2009 11:31 PM

they look like shit & they sound like shit.

telecasters, however, are badass.

Satan 12.14.2009 11:32 PM

as far as fenders go nothing beats this mug.

i thought you were a hendrix fan?

Satan 12.14.2009 11:42 PM

hendrix could have made a tissue box/rubberband banjo sound like angels. cheap shot.

DeadDiscoDildo 12.14.2009 11:46 PM

Who's to say I can't?

wellcharge 12.14.2009 11:48 PM

yeah but he could have played whatever he wanted and played a strat
okay, forget hendrix then, tonnes of other good music is made on a strat, i don't particularly like strats but i figure it must be an ok guitar to be so widespread

Satan 12.14.2009 11:48 PM

i'm going to need to see some id to make sure that you are indeed james marshall hendrix. if not, no dice. sorry buddy but that's the way the cookie crumbles.

the masses are asses

wellcharge 12.14.2009 11:59 PM

that doesn't make any sense

you are part of the mass, so the second part explains the other things you've said

Satan 12.15.2009 12:01 AM

am i not allowed to hate stratocasters? i really truly think they suck.

DeadDiscoDildo 12.15.2009 12:05 AM

The only thing that really sucks about strats are the knob placements. Mine has a good tone. There are TONS of better guitars. It's widely popular because it is a rock cliche. Most beginners start with a strat.

If you know what you're doing you can make it sound great.

This is less about you not being allowed to hate strats and more about me trying to shove that cookie in your mouth Satan. Shove that big ol cookie in your mouth. Cuz it's not crumblin on me :-)

I don't wanna say my name on here, but yes, it's not James Marshall Hendrix.

you can think they suck, but singling them out as being the shittiest guitar is too much

DeadDiscoDildo 12.15.2009 12:09 AM

Those mexican squire strats ARE the worst guitars ever made.

automatic bzooty 12.15.2009 12:28 AM

yes. yes they are. every time i see a black and white squire strat in someone's house, i feel like that person's entirely accepting/admitting/displaying their douchedom.

knox 12.15.2009 06:51 AM

I still get angry
I still get sad
And the losers still drive me mad
And I wonder
If I have anything to say anymore
Oh yeah I wonder if I have anything to say
Except the masses are asses
They're all asses

Things still piss me off
And things still make me cry
Poetry's in motion but not in mind
Poetry's in motion but not in my mind
Poetic justice will come in time
And I just have to laugh
I just have to laugh
Because the masses are asses
We're all asses
Masses are asses every day
Masses are asses in every way
Woo woo

afterthefact 12.15.2009 09:21 AM

Hendrix needed a strat because when you turn a tele upside down, it's really hard to get those high notes. Of course, he didn't have to do it that way, but still he did, and strats give more room for dem fingers. The majority of the sound is about your pickups, amp, etc.

chicka 12.15.2009 10:52 AM

Not a guitar afficinado never played a lick but I've seen many guitars and wether they sounded good bad or indifferent depended upon the player not
the guitar

verme (prevaricator) 12.15.2009 01:42 PM

^are you a troll?
you better be.

chicka 12.15.2009 05:56 PM

not a troll just an observation from many years of live shows in bars, clubs,
music halls, arenas and so on. I think I've seen enough and listen to enough to know who's making it and who's faking it.
