Guitars with fake history ftl

Its like a Tokai 'gold wing'. Benecol has one.

it took me several times reading to realize this thread wasn't called:

i'm not a straight guy normally, but...

fake guitars r ghey

Ha !

I am one that will not ever own a Strat or LP since they're now the most generic shapes ever . But if I were a Strat shape this would be it.....



Or this

Strats are the true indie guitar. Currently unpopular with those trying to be indie. They are cheap to get. Parts everywhere. Easy to mod.

I don't think there is such thing as a true indie guitar is there.


I listen to a lot of music and have seen bands use a ton of different guitars.

Look at the demographics. People on these forums often own offsets and play indie or are old and play surf. I started going to more indie concerts this year and I have never seen so many offsets.

Back in the day, indie kids bought Jags and JMs cause they were cheap and plentiful. Now people pay lots of money for these things, while cheap strats fill pawn shops

Nah, by that logic it'd be superstrats that'd be the ultimate indie guitar. They are everywhere for dirt cheap.

they look hellish though, and aesthetics are a large part of playing music- or should i say, 'indie' musicians are generally a very conservative bunch?

They do that.

Did not Mustangs and Jaguars look hellish in the late eighties? I don't know, I was only two or three years old at the time, and hadn't quite started playing yet.

I think the current indie music scene is much more of a fashion show than about making good music. Actually, that goes for almost all current music.

i agree, that's why i turn up to gigs in a stained string vest and a pair of pyjama bottoms.

Nope.

Really? Just turn on MTV. Watch a Lady Gaga video....

As far as current Indie. They all look the same. Offset guitar, plaid shirt, tight pants, a bunch of pedals and some ratty Fenders, Orange and Vox amps in the background. Its all about being like everyone else. Things aren't done out of necessity, it is about being cool. After the show go drink PBR and Jim Beam at the bar.

What a sweeping and inaccurate generalization. There's like two "indie" bands on shortscale, if that. Also, Im going to go a ahead and remind the whole board that "indie" is the worst fucking name for a genre ever. Example:
Lightning Bolt
Tom Waits
Bon Iver

These are all in fact on indie labels. They are by definition indie bands. The music that is usually called indie should usually just be called "shit pop that's too shitty for major labels"
