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.

The trend in guitar (and bass) that should go away: KZbin 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 KZbin experts who are so fluffed up they have confused presenting their personal opinions with presenting facts, data, and useful information.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I'm presently in a band where one of the guitar players utilizes at least 3 of those no knows that you guys talked about the the piezo pickup ( Which actually dates back to the late 70s when Yamaha began building electric grand pianos), the guitar synthesizer and the highly complex rig. 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

No one is setting up a bunch of effects to find their best tone. They are doing it to have a wide variety of tones available. Sometimes that phaser swirl is fun and inspiring. Sometimes a heavy fuzz is called for. It's a palette of colors to choose from.

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.
