When I bought my Charvel Spectrum the guy I bought it from told me there was a jazz guitarist near him who used an orange one with flatwounds
Ooh, just thought of another one: Derek Miller from Sleigh Bells and his Jackson Soloists.
This conversation about playing guitars out of context, came up yesterday at the guitar show in Northampton - And as I said above, Ted Nugent quickly came up - Then immediately one of the guys I was chatting to said exactly the same thing
But, TBH, I don't think guitars are designed for anything except to be playable and usable in some musical context or other. It's our preconceptions that puts them into boxes.
IIRC, one of the people in Syd Arthur (a great Brighton-based band that I haven't seen about in a while) used to play a tenor electric guitar at times. That was unusal but worked.
Shame he turned into such a poxhead.
Delta Blues played on bolt on BC Rich's
At the moment I'm looking for:
* Hamer SS2 & T62
* Music Man Luke 1
Please drop me a message.
I think most guitars can be used for most things. I personally like using the right guitar at home. Live I'll pick the best two for the gig.
I was briefly in a band that did some Beatles covers made sense to take a rickenbacker. However as the beatles used a lot of guitars it doesn't really matter.
Then there's Malcolm Young...
