Extended range guitars are stupid
When the 2010s decade started, some really good things happened with guitars.
One of those good things is that bunch of guitar companies starting bringing back their older, classic designs that had not been made for years if not decades. Another good thing is that we started seeing guitar colors that hadn't been around for a while either. And yet another good thing was that in the sub-$500 range, some really good guitars started appearing from just about every major brand.
On the flip side of that however is the utterly stupid thing known as the extended range guitar, which is absolutely one of the most useless guitars that exists.
Weird Al "Tacky" review
I've been a Weird Al listener for a long time, and something a lot of people don't take into consideration is just how damned good of a musician he is.
Are the neon color guitars coming back in style?
There was a time in the 80s when neon-colored guitars sold fairly well. Has that time come again?
Most of the famous rock songs you know have isolated guitars that sound like crap
An individual most would consider a rock god of sorts is Randy Rhoads. Was Randy a good player? Yes. But his studio tone was total crap.
If you look up what Over The Mountain sounds like with just the guitars heard, it sounds awful. The guitars are nothing but a trebly, clacky, nasty mess.
Why do the guitars sound bad on their own? It's not for lack of guitar playing ability, but rather because they were purposely recorded that way.
What's the true test of whether a recording is good or not?
Hint: It's not studio monitors.
