Ok ok
im in the market for a new guitar..I went to a locally owned store in my city, and this guy showed me this newer brand of guitars. This guitar had a toggle switch that made the guitar do this crazy feedback sound when u held a note, it sounded fucking awesome. I havent been back since, and i dont recall the name of the guitar or brand, but id like to do some research on it before i consider buying....Anyone have any idea as to what guitar make or brand im talking about?

    Is the guitar equipped with a sustainer. Fernandes makes some guitars with a sustaining mechanism. Not sure exactly how it works, but when engaged, creates infinite sustain.

    Could be a Fernandez, but there are so many pickup things going on now on different brands.

    Call the music store up, maybe? Maybe we'll all learn something new! :D

    it was a fernendez!! Thanks for the help. NOw that i think of it, it doesnt interest me as much...Im still conflicted as to what guitar best suites my style..Fenders are way too generic and boring, i have a gibson at the moment, i was thinking maybe an SG...bah, i dont know, something that makes me look sexy as well couldnt hurt...lol, jk.

    Generic and boring Fenders?

    lol, sorry for the confussion. Im just not a fan of fender guitars...They seem like the standard for guitars "to have" . They all look the same to me! They have a nice sound though, no doubt about that, i guess i should clarify that when im talking about fenders, im refering to all their strats.

    Just a note:
    Hendrix played a Fender.

    Hendrix could have played an Ibanez and made it sound like a million bucks, though

    Strats are kinda like bellybuttons, everyone's got one... or had one...

    But screw it, I like 'em...

    And I'm a Tele guy, love the way they look, and feel, and with some modifications, how they sound...

    I realize that you are new to guitar playing, but this is my pet peave...... DO NOT BUY A GUITAR ON LOOKS! And do not buy a guitar without playing it first!

    Buy something that has great tone and sustain as well as speaks to you creatively. You will have much better time learning the guitar and you will not loose as much money in the end.

    I was totally kidding about which guitars would make me look sexy....jeeze....ive been playing for 8 years with the same guitar...Theres just so many guitars out there, i dont even know where to begin. Obviously Im not gonna buy one until I try it and like the sound. And for the record, hendrix could have played air guitar with a broom and somehow managed to blow your mind ;)

    I agree to an extent, but a new player is gonna wanna play something more if he/she thinks they look cool with it.
