    Eh?! I meant I'm the one with low standards compared to Fenders lol...as a rule, I'd have said that Fender is a more reputable and distinguished name than Epiphone, despite Epi.'s links with Gibson...

    I'd rather have an Epi, but we all have our personal preferances
  4. I'd rather have a Fender, if its a good Fender. I don't mean a MIM strat with stock pups, I've been there and done that. But a good strat, and I mean good, can beat any epiphone anyday. Now Fender vs Gibson, whole other story.

    Indeed, an American Tele. would be uber compared to most Epiphones, but I think more in terms of models than makes aswell as looks, e.g. give me a natural finish Explorer (Epi. or Gibson) over most Teles or Strats., but I'd think twice if the Fender in question were a classic black'n'white finish...or the Clapton model Edge used for The Fly/Desire during ZooTV, or his yellow Strat. from the Lovetown days! Bar the odd exception or two, I don't like flashy finishes...
  6. I know what you guys are saying. A GOOD Fender beats an Epi anyday, but my fender..... hell no lol

    you know what I mean lol
  9. Yes indeed. A Squier is much different than Fender. A lot of people think Epiphone is to Gibson as to Squier is to Fender. Nuh uh. But I have played some squiers that don't sound too bad, sometimes you just get lucky.

    Oh well, I started out on a washburn House of Blues model. I remember when I took it into get its strings replaced (back when I was a noob) the guy working hadn't even heard of it before hahaha.
  12. Originally posted by WojBhoyHere's a question for ye all - why is it that AofH was originally played using "power chords", I mean watch R&H, and Edge plays it thus, and you can tell he is on any live version c. Lovetown - for reference, I'm listening to the New Year's Day show from the Point Depot, and you can here the gap between the chords - yet on recent versions, he just plays it with normal open chords?



    One possibility is because Edge has admitted that he forgets how to play the songs, once mentioning that he had to buy some of the albums to re-learn the songs.

    Other? He's lazy?
