Guitar Players

If you must have Fender the MiMs aren't too bad. I got mine in the 90s, pretty decent sound from the ceramics, nice neck, the pots lasted until 2019, the tuners look cheap but still stay in tune. When I got it, it was a combo sale with a little Peavey amp for US$250.
The market seems a bit saturated with strats so resale value maybe shouldn't be the point of getting one. I've heard the custom vibes squiers are pretty good. Plus everyone and their cousin seem to make strat copies. If possible try some out if they're near you. I picked up a tele that a guitar store had made in China, plus other models. I paid US$50. They said CHinese mahogany which I've seen translated as linden or basswood. Pretty soft. Anyway loved playing it straight away, very bright and loud acoustically.

That's a good sign for an electric guitar. And as per my post above I'm changing my mind, about to go and try this, way different to a Strat of course but I'm metal as **** haha

yeah saw that. Cort has a good rep. Basically I'm suggesting, if you can, try out as many as you can till you find one you like. I don't think I could mail order one without trying it out. But I guess that is the way it works now, especially with brick and mortar shops closing.

Just bought it, tried in the shop and loved it tbh, bit wonky at times with the multi scale frets but I'll get the hang of it. Now to annoy the family!

Just on the 7 string, really no issues with the multi scale fretboard now, all I do is follow the frets really, no issue. Sounds great, having a lot of fun with this.

a little bit of fun.
I got 4 out of 20. 1,3,7 & 10. Can’t believe I missed 2 and 6 in hindsight. The rest could have been anybody…a few I’ve never listened to.

I gave up at 4. 2 was the only one I knew instantly. Rick's having a laugh.

I actually recognised the song from 1 & 10.
7 has probably the most easily recognisable tone of any guitarist ever…IMO anyway.

I got 1,2,5,7,10,15, 19 and 20, some of these were later in the video where he played a bit more though. Only one I instantly was 100% on was 2.

If we're talking underrated solos the below rips IMO and doesn't get talked about enough

I watched the McCartney doco on Thursday (it’s ok, not as good as the Wings one from about a decade ago) but it reminded me of how good Jimmy McCulloch was.
Nice little solo at the start and 2m mark of this song, and the horn section are fab too.
Paul’s Rickenbacker bass sounds amazing

Great interview with Richie Kotzen here. I've never really listened to any of his stuff and the only reason I watched it was, well if Rick thinks he's worth interviewing I should check it out. Stating the obvious, amazing player and singer. I was riveted listening to his thoughts on playing and his experiences. Such a candid and down to earth guy. It would have been amazing playing with Lenny White and Stanley Clarke. I think I'll be checking out his catalogue as soon as I'm through Jeff Beck.

I've been listening to a few Chris Rea albums since his death. I'd forgotten just how good a guitarist he was.

Well, there goes the next week or so. This lava studio is some fun.
