New Topic
Goto Page: 1 2 Next

hello there i was wondering if there are different types of surf guitars other than the typical Fender/Mosrite companys

Not to sound like a jerk, but please use the search function on the site. That's the whole point of having these these discussions archived. This has been discussed ad nauseum for 10 years now.

Insect Surfers
The Tikiyaki Orchestra
The Scimitars
Lords Of Atlantis
Fiberglass Jungle - Surf Radio

No. There is nothing else.

That's one sexy SG. David Arnson of the Insect Surfers plays them. They are one of my all time favorite bands!

Salud!

I think it was no one less than Marc Ribot who said that the solid body electric guitar was designed as if it were made for surf music. He plays a Jaguar himself and is probably the least boring jazz guitarist out there. Because surf.

Squink Out!

I do have one guitar that is a Fender blue Custom Shop Tele with. Bigsby
Never considered it a surf guitar but I might rethink that now

Grip it and rip it.

Tried it out, so the bigs needs some work due to the bar sits real low and I can only get a slight shift in pitch
Not really surf dives more slight wiggle

Also tuning is an issue

does anyone know of a company that makes custom guitars, i figured id just get a company to make me a guitar. the idea is a reverse birdseyemaple neck with black binding and black block inlays with a strat body with jag pup neck and bridge and a jazzmaster trem

Nice review of the Danelectro 64 in the September issue of Guitar Player magazine. Has anyone an option on it for surf music?

Happy Sunsets!

If you want to keep it in the family, we have a few members that are builders. Jeff Senn/Crazy Aces, Bob Kennedy and Mel Waldorf are just a few that come to mind.

I found these here :http://www.rondomusic.com/electricguitar.html and i wonder how do they sound..
