airhole, i didn't know that eric clapton is your hero...so i apologize. however i maintain that i said it out of personal conjecture or opinion. well, it's just that the signature series turns me off la...especially when it's a guitarist that i'm not a fan of. he's highly overrated and of recent times his music has become a cure for insomnia. at least the best one for me is eric clapton's signature....imagine if the Ritchie Sambora series is the best one!  |

that can't be true la...he owns a strat ultra. it's not a signature series, the one that he always play with. other than that i think he's got a carvin, his old jazzmaster and a les paul. if he owns a ritchie sambora strat i wouldn't know how to face him.
personally i think you can buy a signature series if you really really like it....but i think any guitar player who would like to get his own special sound would research extensively and find out what to do...rather than buy off the shelf signature series. i wonder if anyone actually bought the malmsteen series....that thing is so hard to play...and you got to have perfect pitch also.

hmm....disturbing. orange strat? i would buy that if i was into the beach boys thing. well, it's good they got rid of the floyd rose. it doesn't belong on a fender, don't you agree?
however on that note...the noiseless pickups from fender are a triumph! i'm glad they are following the old 60's circuitry with that noiseless aspect... i feel like using the new Fender Black Dove pickups on my future jazzmaster!
there is a very clear difference when you try the ones with the new "old" pickups! ;D

interestingly, kinman disses Fender noiseless and even Bill Lawrence noiseless pickups...
but i guess he charges almost AUD300 for the whole set of pick-ups. His better be fucken goot!

he's highly overrated and of recent times his music has become a cure for insomnia. at least the best one for me is eric clapton's signature.... apologies accepted!  I only agree he is highly over-rated in recent times lah. In the 70s, he did great work... with the Bluesbreakers ad Cream. All the way till the early 80's, that's when I personally felt he din do anything good musically. Everything seemed rehashed and a cure for insomnia.. until he came out with Unplugged, which incidentally got me onto guitar playing.. hence me hero. The next 2 albums were good.. then its back to the drawl. seriously lah, my take is this. Sunshine Of Your Love solo has so much feel in it... I dunno its psychedelia projecting or just brooding darkness into a chasm of rainbows.... |

i heard it from some best of compilation that my uncle had. you'd be surprised dude....so many of the signature tracks that we know from the dinosaur rock era were all rip offs in one way or another. i have the Electric Mud album though. when you hear that album, you will know where Jimi Hendrix got his style from!
