Ed O'Brien signature Strat

[ttf]

even gretsch?

[Bamnan]

I could get over it there but still.

[Bamnan]

Anyway why does ed need a signature guitar? he barely plays anything on it

[Icarus-Smicarus]

people always talk about him not getting to play guitar anymore or not doing anything cos he mainly just does backing vocals in a couple of songs and tambourine in one song or whatever, i always think he's got far more to do now than he used to. when they were using 3 guitars on every song it could be hard to pick him out, he'd often be playing whatever Yorke was playing or the most basic rhythm bits. nowadays he's often the only guitarist and has really come to the fore imo. his textures all …

[Bamnan]

Yeah only joking, but really it’s pretty minimal and so many effects the tone of the guitar probably doesn’t really matter much.

interesting. big fan, myself.

Isn’t that just a standard Custom from the 70s?

[Kallgeese]

Nope. Customs had a Wide Range Humbucker at the neck, rather than the PAF-style seen there. They also had a volume and tone control for each pickup and a pickup selector located on the pickguard itself.

[1101010]

My stepdad’s has a narrower humbucker but you’re right it probably has more switches.

[Kallgeese]

Modding Teles to have a neck humbucker was a common enough practice in the seventies. Keith Richards’ Micawber for example:

Fender didn’t issue a variant like that until the 2000s.

Some really terrific work from @ericthefourth ITT

That $99 epiphone looks great. My dad plays guitar so know a few chords. Might pick one up with some kind of headphone effects box (recommendations?) for my birthday.

I’ve got one of these

Which I plug into my laptop to practice or record. Works brilliant for both.

Garageband has loads of built in amp presets which actually sound quite good.

[jont2001]

looks good to me, are there any latency issues? Also the annoying thing about having an iPhone 7 is that I don’t have a jack port on my phone now.

Oh just looked online, looks like you can get a version with a headphone out built in.

[Mistersteve]

Yeah I think there is one with a straight out. No latency issues for me, works a lot better than I though it would to be honest. Use it for guitar and bass, works a treat.

Not sure if this’ll work as it’s Facebook but here’s a video of bass going through it I did (it’s music from Sonic 3, so clearly great):

1500 pounds? Get bent!

[BodyInTheThames]

Limited edition of 10 though

Worth a fortune in 100 years time

[1101010]

You can probably make 1500 into a fortune more quickly though

[Epimer]

I’ve just realised that technically I play a signature bass. Whoops.
