@jomesias 8 ай бұрын

I own 10 guitars ( you need different tunings, different gauges, diff types of strings ) because of my little home studio. And each neck size, neck thickness, how the frets are leveled, fret curvature/radius, shape, balance etc all of these are diff on each guitar. Comes down to ergonomics, hand size etc but yeah even Hetfield knows there’s “something about that guitar” that’s more comfortable for down picking, alt picking etc For example an esp or jackson neck is so much more thin on the back and the fret wires are more flat, while the strat has a higher radius (curvature). This makes the strings fret out (and stop ringing) when you bend them if you don’t have a medium to high action. While the flatter radius guitar can do that on lower actions. Cheers fellow tone seekers

As a guitar player with 7-8 guitars I use (obviously no where near as good as him) I completely understand. Certain guitars just have certain feels for certain songs. Especially if you’re using different strings on different guitars. I noticed how he picked up his white V to get that old school metal feeling. Playing Sad but true on my black explorer feels a lot different than it does on my white SG.

Rush used to talk about this a lot as they got older. Like many other bands they cursed themselves regularly for being so technical while they were young and now they have to try to remember and be able to perform like that as a bunch of old men. :)
