What the actual gently caress. :psyboom:

They were seriously going to have motherfucking Gibson make an "Authentic" line of instruments honoring one of the most famous Fender Stratocaster users in history. Sure he used a Gibson later in his career, but gently caress it. Let's make knockoff Stratocasters and stamp 'em with an Authentic Jimi Hendrix logo.

Yup, and apparently I was wrong about the 'within hours' thing, maybe it was within hours of the big huge writeup and negative review? I dunno, anyway, didn't last long, was purged completely and never existed.

And yeah, he DID play a V pretty regularly among other Gibsons but really, Hendrix = Strat for the most part.

The amount of poo poo his estate has been involved in regarding his name is loving amazing.

Buddy Guy(my hero)

Josh Homme(Queens of the Stone age) x2

Buckethead (also my hero)

Jerry Cantrell(Alice in Chains)

Paul Gilbert.


Pretty much 5 of my favorite guitarists ever. Also all fans of ugly-ish guitars.

I thought for sure everyone would think they all had ugly guitars. Guess not.


Edit: Hendrix talk: He also played an SG from time to time. I've seen videos of him rocking a white triple pickup one I think(flipped over, of course).

I remembered how this turned out when I made the same challenge, to all these poo poo-talkers back in the day (December?)
My music was (rightfully, since it's kinda bad) flamed, even by the one guy who posted anything in response, who prefaced his post with, "This is really old and it really sucks, but...."

Courage ITT

Do what Harry in Rio says. Slay us with your chops, no judgement from me.

Styles in music and styles in guitar builds are but moments in time. They're not inherently bad and you know it. I was just happy to be your punching bag during the holidays when I didn't have to work. It was silly but I have other things to do now.

There you go, another 10 pages of thread fodder. Happy New Year.

Do we have a 3rd?

I don't ask you to like my playing, but at least recognize I put it right in front of you to criticize. This thread is where the poo poo-talking is taking place, so I see no reason to go elsewhere. Do you have a compelling reason that you can play?

Your turn, grinding to a halt.
