Controversial guitar opinions you have.
What's Hot
A place for them all to be stored. Not a place for getting grumpy with each other. Just a bit of fun to list those opinions you have formed that might have other people raging.
I'll get us goint.
1) It's not a Stratocaster unless is has 3 x single coils. An HSS guitar is another thing entirely.
2) 99% of drive pedals can be made to sound the same.
3) Pedals that on purpose sound broken and cheap shouldn't be more expensive.
4) Playing Nirvana on a Suhr is the sign of a wrongun.

I'll have to stop you there
My Ibanez HSS AZ2204 sounds more like my idea of a Strat than my Fender Strats.
My best sounding Fender Strat is my HSS Strat
My Strat Plus (SSS) with gold lace sensors sounds the least Stratty
The neck pickup on my Fender Tele Professional sounds more Stratty than my Fender Strats
And furthermore
I play 'Smells Like Tean Spirit' live on my (Suhr like) Ibanez AZ2204
The time used in forum posting would better spent on structured practice.
At the moment I'm looking for Watson, SS2, Vintage S, T62, Vanguard.
Please drop me a message.
I'd much rather have a Plain Top Les Paul as well, or a solid colour one.
I appreciate that it is nice figuring and that some people like Flame and Quilt tops, but I would never go for one now.
There are too many entirely unnecessary pedals on the market these days.
Also
5) Lace Sensors aren't real single coil strat pickups.

Well we can agree on that point. As someone who picked up my Strat Plus once said: "Nice guitar", "sounds good", "but it doesn't sound like a Strat"
kit - otherwise I wouldn’t have mentioned it. It annoys me and I ignore anyone who places that as a top priority. And as you say, what exactly is pro level gear. A big name? Something costing more than 2 grand? Who knows.

Don’t be coming round here with your sensible facts and logic based comments
There you go, anyone getting tetchy?
I can only think of one occasion on which the kit that someone brought to an audition contributed to a decision not to have them in the band. That was when a prospective bass player turned up with a powered monitor that was clearly completely unsuitable for amplifying a bass guitar at gig levels - and it turned out he’d borrowed that from his girlfriend’s dad. He was adamant that it would be fine. Really? Next!

Who's going to break first and get tetchy?

gear’ I guess, but I don’t think that it’s the be all and end all. I turned down a bassist recently that messaged me on JMB because he harped on about his rig and what he expected everyone else to bring along. I replied with ‘I’m sorry but you sound above our league and we wouldn’t want to disappoint you’.
