    The good thing about being a Shoegaze guitarist is that everything can be a Shoegaze guitar.

    (for the singlecut Gretsch) Dynasonics are a single coil style pickup.

    "Is this a good video?"
    Yes! I often wish guitar content creators would just show us a lot of different guitars without trying to sell them. Or without lecturing the viewers on American vs import specs. This is the experience that I hope to have when I walk through Gu*tar C*enter, except having the two of you in the video makes it feel like I'm doing it with friends

    Now for the twist.
    If it's a "spaghetti western" guitar, then it's also a surf guitar.
    If it's any budget guitar from 1950-1970....surf guitar also.
    Gotta think about the poor surfers back in the day.

  • @RobertFisher1969
    @RobertFisher1969 Рік тому

    Dick Dale played Fender acoustics. The Jazzmaster Acoustasonic has settings that don’t use the humbucker. You could put a Virtual Jeff on it. Therefore, I call it a surf guitar. 😁

  • @rickmiller7884
    @rickmiller7884 Рік тому +1

    Since I saw the first Meteora with the Tele configuration and block inlays, I've thought it would be an ultimate surf guitar if it had a wiggler.

  • @charlie-obrien
    @charlie-obrien Рік тому

    One of my favorite guitars (that I don't own) of recent issue is the Epiphone Crestwood which you did acknowledge as a "Surf" guitar. Going by the strict criteria it juuuust makes it, with two out of three.
    But you were right on the money to call out the "Vibe" it gives off. Lots of throwback emotions in Epi's reissue of it's first ever solid body electric. I can already imagine and hear "Let's Go Trippin" coming off that git!
    The rest of the video was also cool and I'm really glad that the "Surf Bass" has entered the conversation.

  • @Baci302

    I’m strongly contend that certain Gretsch guitars with Bigsbys are exceptions to the general rule.

  • @mikegutterman3427
    @mikegutterman3427 Рік тому

    two out of three is not specific enough! I honestly think it needs 3 out of 3 to be a true surf guitar! I know that disqualifies strats but I'm cool with that.

  • @PaulTheSkeptic
    @PaulTheSkeptic Рік тому

    I think those are soap bar pickups. Like P-90's except not P-90's. But I could be wrong. But yes, soap bars are a kind of single coil but they're very hot and don't have that crisp clean sound. They're often favored by punk guitarists but that's certainly not exclusive. So, I would say personally, that doesn't count. That's just not the surfy sound.
    I was hoping you were going to talk about that Danelectro Jimmy Page as they're often called. The 59 but in blue. Single coil but is that a surfy shape? I think it is. And it's nice to know that my split coil SG with a Bigsby is technically a surf guitar. 2 Points, the maximum so it's close. But it just skated in under the wire.

    “Left handed people can’t play surf” the ghost of Dick Dale has left the chat.
    I guess my G&L Ascari GT-90 is surfy (strat shape (though set neck, not bolt on), two P-90s, no wiggle stick.) They only came in tobacco-burst, oddly it’s a 3x3 black headstock with an all mahogany body and neck. It’s pretty much a strat-shaped Les Paul Special made surfy.

    Very fun! But you let too many modern guitars slip by as surf guitars. No EVH, PRS or Ibanez! No humbucker in the bridge, unless splitable. No Strats unless gold sparkle, sunburst or white, LOL.

  • @bindodundid
    @bindodundid Рік тому

    Bindo Dundid's criteria for a surf guitar; 1. surfy colour, 2. ALL single coils. It needs to meet both 2/2. That's it. I have a surf green tele I made with a jazzmaster neck pup, it's certainly a surf guitar. More so than every red hss superstrat that fit this terrible criteria.

  • @TwilightZone13
    @TwilightZone13 3 місяці тому

    I think if it doesn't have single coils or a coil split it shouldn't be called a surf guitar.
