Re: Guitar n amp question.....

Paul (surfnscifi) - 21 Oct 2002 13:57:16

Hi....
I can definitely say after playing a Steinberger guitar for many
years, that it's not the guitar you would ever want for surf, unless
it's maybe for the overdriven-type sound you were after (like maybe
the Bomboras) Steinbergers are very flat sounding, with very little
"twang". They're not cheap guitars to buy, either, even on the used
market.
Ditto on the Fender guitars and Fender amps for a good "traditional"
surf sound. The "splashy" reverb, I think, is the key, rather than
the specific amp.

See this post in context.
