G&Ls are hideous. They cater to bedroom players, people who buy new guitars and baby them. Top

Maybe more pros. You mean mix and match like slapping a strat term on, moving the switch and adding an extra knob? Edit: jake beat me to it. Re: a more aesthetic clientele? I can only assume you mean "old" and are referring to the color. And pro? I'm not sure in 2017 that one can define professional musician by their gear. My .02 Last edited: Sep 16, 2017 07:00:12 Top

I agree, it totally sux. Sure glad I'm not sharing it in a "NGD" post. — Squink Out! Top

Jake, some dads I believe you're pretty fond of (one a grandpa, actually): Once there are millennial non-dads that have accomplished a tenth of what these guys have accomplished, then millennials should feel free to use 'dad' as a putdown. — Ivan Lords of Atlantis on Facebook The Madeira Official Website The Madeira on Facebook The Blair-Pongracic Band on Facebook The Space Cossacks on Facebook The Madeira Channel on YouTube Top
Squid Joined: Aug 22, 2010 Posts: 1018 Portland, Oregon with Insanitizers	Posted on Sep 16 2017 01:00 PM That JM looks similar to all other JMs. Sure I see differences from others, but they are very small. If I were looking for a JM the G&L appearance would not sway me for or against. Weight might. So now should we all fess up about: who here has grown children (or is otherwise somewhat aged), who here else has a day job not associated with music, who babies his guitars (at least never takes them outside the house)? What do these questions have to do with why we are here? Nothing. I turn 71 in 2 months. Anyone here older than me?

Reverbenator Joined: Jul 26, 2015 Posts: 258 San Diego, Ca	Posted on Sep 16 2017 01:58 PM I don't think I'd call that a "100% lawyer guitar", because I'm guessing that any decent lawyer can probably afford any Jazzmaster he/she wants, including Vintage, as well. (Probably without having to dig too deep into their pockets, either.) Given the fact that Dick Dale has children, I suppose that would make his Strat, aka 'The Beast' the most famous guitar in all of Surf music, a "dad guitar". So what would I call this new offset G & L? A Jazzmaster inspired guitar for people who, for whatever reason, don't want to play a traditional, authentic Fender Jazzmaster. Which is pretty much for whom the guitar was intended. Just my .02 worth. — -Cheers, Clark- -Less Paul, more Reverb- Last edited: Sep 16, 2017 14:47:13 Top
Squid Joined: Aug 22, 2010 Posts: 1018 Portland, Oregon with Insanitizers	Posted on Sep 16 2017 02:53 PM My dad's guitars, ca. 1966. Univox Coily and Teisco. Coily vibrato replaced with Epiphone. Photo intended to be vertical, but it posted this way and this illustrates the surfy vibe they have. — Insanitizers! http://www.insanitizers.com Last edited: Sep 16, 2017 14:56:48 Top

(Probably without having to dig too deep into their pockets, either.) Exactamundo! Jake, I believe (forgive me if i'm wrong) is just in loss for words to describe this post-modernistic abomination. Have we left dentists, plastic surgeons and pedophiles out of the discussion? They have some answering to do, too. Blame Clapton, he can take it. Not discounting the gravity of the current cultural war against us, dads don't necessarily have to be boring, but most naturally are, for the good of survival. Nah, this is a direct competitor to Fender's hipster models, I agree. G&L always had this "working man's guitar" quality to them, not so? I bet it's excellently playable, and less exciting than a box full of kittens. As for Millenials, seems they're afraid of overtones. Or that's what management thinks. That Teisco looks very compelling, Squid. Something about the neck makes me want to see more pictures of it, if you have them. Last edited: Sep 16, 2017 19:42:15 Top
