    The trend in guitar (and bass) that should go away: TH-cam channels with, "experts," who are such experts that they bless the rest of us by telling us what to like, dislike, feel is cool or needed, or feel is just too uncool, unnecessary, or they just dislike it, no real reason, just don't like it. The TH-cam experts who are so fluffed up they have confused presenting their personal opinions with presenting facts, data, and useful information.

      This should be the number one “end it now”. Blues players kill me with this. I have guitars I bought new 25-30 years ago that still look new. Even 10 world tours would not do what some of these blues strats look like. Maybe if a forearm spiked band was worn while playing.

    I’d add “Road worn” or “relic’d”. it’s like buying pre-cut jeans. If it happens naturally it’s cool but otherwise it’s like you’re trying to appear like your guitar has been seasoned by your many many gigs.

    • @jpalberthoward9
      @jpalberthoward9 3 ปีที่แล้ว +8

      As long as you're not committing fraud by trying to pass it off as a genuine antique, there's no ethics issue, and it's just personal taste.
      One place where relicimg is legit is when you put new parts on an old guitar.
      That always looks weird. A bit of tarnish or scuff marks on a bridge or pickguard helps it blend in with what's already there. Then it's fun to try and get the new stuff to match.

    • @jpalberthoward9
      @jpalberthoward9 3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      I went through hundreds of guitars in my life, chasing after "the sound", and then I discovered something you can't buy in any store.......
      Good right hand technique
      It beats all the pickup swapping, tuners, bridges, strings,
      neck and body wood, pots, etc. Just simply applying the right amount of mechanical energy to the strings in the right spot along the length of those strings makes all the difference in the world!
      It brings out the magical qualities of Tweed amps, (it's why they usually sound better in more experienced hands), and it covers most of the EQ and drive problems that people blame on the gear.
      The marketing dept. of
      the guitar and accessory companies would rather not have you figure that out, for obvious rea$ons.
      Many moons ago, Mike Bloomfield stated that he could turn his Marshall stack and Les Paul to 10, and play at whisper quiet volume levels. I was intrigued by this idea, and I tried it. it's very difficult at first, but the payoff is phenomenal in terms of tone and dynamics.
      How many people out there have dialed in a great sound, handed the guitar to somebody else, and it sounds like a wildebeest caught in a barbed wire fence when the other person played it? That was my first clue. My ears said "lighten up on the right hand". Of course you have to watch what you say because artists are sensitive, and you don't want to be judgemental, but the laws of physics do prevail. They show no favoritism to anybody.

    Disagree on the coil splitting for sure, it doesn't sound like a strat sure but its a great option to have live to get more of that character for like a verse and then flick it over to a bucker for heavy choruses etc. Basically I think of it as a different character, not a true SC. If I didn't have that I'd need to add more to my pedalboard dance to differentiate the sections, which I don't wanna do.

      @voodoocustompickups2547 3 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Coil splitting isn't necessarily to make it sound like a single coil. It's meant to drop the output, phase switching and getting different tones from the same pickup.

    • @RaviSingh-ph2uw

    It’s all horses for courses. Floyd Rose’s are really only useful if you’re dive bombing like there’s no tomorrow, but they do it better than any other alternative. Piezo’s, Synth, and Split coils are useful if you’re playing live and you want different sounds. Personally I don’t need a looper, as I predominantly play guitar to record songs and like to play over more elaborate chord changes. Recently I bought a Boss VO-1, and have had tons of fun adding it to my songs to get Frampton/ELO/Nazareth sounds. Sometimes I just want to make a Basic Strat Blues tone song, sometimes I want to come up with something weird or out there and there is tech out there to make it happen.
    The guitar is a tool and you should use what works to get the job done.

      I'm not a huge Floyd person, but I think they do provide a really good level of tuning stability (and yes it totally comes at a cost). I also think it's a great tremolo for subtle use - like with chords. You can do that on any trem, but Floyd's feel great for that IMO.

Also, I think fanned frets will be niche but they won’t ever die because it’s extremely useful for extended range guitars, it does feel good to have a very slight fan on a 6 string though.

    BAxter, for once I fully agree with everything you said… Hell, I even owned a “The Greg” amp… and after a year or so I got rid of it. Last time I ever buy something based on a Greg Koch demo (not that he’s a bad demo man, but, really… he can make a tomato soup can on a string sound fabulous). I eventually sold it (at a big loss) without ever playing through it. Back in ‘14 I bought a Gibson Les Paul Traditional plus which had those gawd awful push-push pots to do too many unneeded stuff. When the pots failed (as they ALL did), I had them replaced with 4 CTS pots and a pair of orange drop caps. Now, it’s a proper Les Paul (and don’t tell me that Les modded his guitars, but, then he was Les Paul, and I’m not…). I once bought into the hype and put some money down on a Mesa Boogie 25 watt Mark 5 head and cab. A couple of days later, some idiot sales droid at a large chain (no names here, but their initials are GC) sold it to someone else. Oops… I used the deposit money (and a manager-approved discount) to purchase a very nice post-HenryJ Les Paul 60’s Standard (with a top to die for…). Anyways, I’ve discovered that too much choice is worst than not enough choice. Too much choice gets in the way of the music.

    Coil splitting is totally dependent on the guitar and electronics. My Taylor T3 and Steinberger coil splits are basically useless. My Ibanez guitars are much more useful and the coil splits sound great, which adds to the versatility.
    Acoustic bevels can add a lot of comfort to large and/or deep acoustics. I don’t need them on smaller acoustics, but I wouldn’t complain about having one. Over the years, I’ve noticed high options about acoustic guitars despite most guitarists not spending much time on them. Spend a LOT of time on acoustics and there’s much more benefit.

With one axe to grind, he's got 3 different channels come channels coming from the synthesizer, the acoustic pick up and his Helix. I have occasionally fantasized getting a stereo guitar and having one of the 2 outputs swapped out for the Piezo pickup myself.
    At least, you didn't single out the pickup selection method pioneered by Brian May. On the other hand, that is one feature that doesn't seem to have become a trend yet, even though Brian has regained in notoriety during this 3rd wave of Queen's popularity

      As a relic lover from day one, I have to say that agree that many of the heavy relics are just too extreme.
      I understand Fender’s reasoning for creating relics in the first place, and for them having that option definitely makes since. However, my opinion kind of varies on newer companies making relics. It is understandable if you’re a company like Nash or Suhr that predominantly builds Fender style guitars. On the other hand, if you’re Dennis Fano creating new designs with elements of Fender/Gibson designs I don’t really understand the relic trend in that instance. I do think relic Fanos and Novos look good (usually) and apparently they sell well so it’s clearly justified from a business perspective, but I think if I bought a Novo I would want it not aged.

I play through a Rocktron talk box for certain songs (and audience reaction is ALWAYS off the charts). This range of sounds is needed for my cover band. Granted, this is more complexity than most players need and still suits my ADD musical tastes. What I cannot deal with is pedals; which are for all intents, one sound per box in a live setting. The Kemper stage suits my needs. yet, sometimes, I like to rock out with a Les Paul through a 50-watt head.

    I remember when effects processors were marketed more aggressively, between digitech, zoom, Yamaha, and Boss, they always had a new model with more foot switches. They always sounded the same to me though and I always went back to stomp boxes. Maybe it’s time to give one a try again
    I’ve got a far strat with a coil split. The split humbucker sounds ok but has lower output than other settings so it only works if you’re setup for that pickup setting alone, so I don’t use it much. The humbucker sounds way better and I can switch to the middle to get single coil sound

I then quickly bought an Ibanez with a Floyd(ish) shortly thereafter - I can't put them down. Awesome. So horses for courses!

Unless you want the desert to fold it in half baking what little moisture is left in it out in hours... so solid body with Piezo does it perfectly and convincingly enough.

    The “relic” guitar that cost more than a beautiful new perfect condition guitar is insane. It like buying a new car and the dealer dents the fender, adds some nice door dings, then charges you an extra cost for it. I’ve seen guitars that have been gigged for 20 years and still don’t look as beat up as the new “factory relic” guitars. I’ll keep my guitars looking as new as possible for as long as possible and I play them hard too.

      I’m a fan of relics and have been since the beginning. I totally get the desire to have a vintage style and vintage looking new guitar for a significantly lower price than the actual vintage guitar on which it’s based. That was the original concept and worked extremely well.
      Now, the trends in relics that I think should go away are:
      1. The most extreme relics unless it is a replica of a specific guitar for example Rory Gallagher’s Strat.
      2. New relic guitars that cost more than the the vintage guitars they are replicating.

    Split coils are a thing and I hope they don't go away. Sure, they don't sound like a strat, but it is definitely a different useful sound available to you.
    Again, with my looping... very useful play a backing loop with split coils, then go full humbucking to play over top of it.

All these guitar players are playing a chord and then swinging their arm forward and backward acting like they're getting some kind of tremolo effect. But in reality they're just swinging their arm back and forth and then they make that face like oh that sounds so cool you hear that, and there's no effect whatsoever going on no bending of the string whatsoever period every time I see this I just cringe and quickly scroll to a different Channel.

Really surprised you didn’t mention the trend toward artificial aging. Maybe, I’m showing my age but it seems silly to buy a guitar brand new and not getting the pleasure (horror)of putting in the first scratch or ding.
