  1. I meant that it doesn't have the caracteristic 12-s sound we all are used too (with lots of chorus, harmonics and natural reverb). It has its definitively own sound, hardly achievable with anything else than another identical guitar - and I wouldn't ever deny that. But whoever listens to MW or EBTTRT doesn't think "Oh, that's a 12 string!"... IMO

    OOOOOOH. My bad, I thought you meant the reverse! Yeah completely agree.


  3. Dallas bought him a few 6-string Ric's from Chicago Guitar Exchange a few years back. But I've not seen him use any of them.

    He has a Jet-glo black 330 12-string. I saw Dallas with it during soundcheck at the 4/14/2005 show in Glendale AZ but I've not seen Edge ever play it.

    The guitar I am speaking of isn't the Jet-glo black 360 12-string on the Boston DVD.
  5. What's you guys' thoughts on Jazzmasters vs. Tele's?


  8. I know this, and I know that the Tele is more suited to power chords and twang and the Jazz to drone and shoegaze stylings (to say the bare bones least), but I'm wondering which you think would make the better more versatile second guitar to my electric collection.

    Right now I have the ES-335, Double Humbuckers.

    (though its soon to be painted in scheme with my color aesthetic for iOi)
  9. If you already have a 335, I'd recommend you to get a Tele.

    If you'd had a Les Paul, I would have recommended you to get a Tele.

    If you'd had a Strat, I would've recommended... hmmm... maybe a Tele would fit then.
  10. I love the wood-glaze hollow tele's that Jonny Buckland plays.
    Got to hand it to that guy, he's taken shoegaze drone and made it fit into anthemic music.

    One wee problem. I'm a lefty.
  11. Oh dear, I didn't know... That automatically means that all gear is more expensive to buy and less profitable to sell. I'm sorry for you.

    I'd recommend a strat. In my opinion strats are the most versatile guitars out there. That's not taking into account guitars like the Line 6 Variax guitars that can sound like 6 guitars in one, but if I had a 335 and wanted a new guitar that was versatile, I'd get a strat. You won't be able to put it down. They're also super customizable. It's easy to replace the neck, the pickups, the pickguard, even the body (as I did - the only stock part left on my strat is the neck, love the american necks).

    And I hate you too!
