Fender guitars for metal

[7 Dying Trees]

I remember seeing trevor pires grind out the obituary riffage on a strat!

That's one of the Showermaster series eh?

Does that mean you feel clean after playing it? Or clean and violated? Does it come with a warning to not pick up the soap?

yeah fender is good for iron maiden stuff. the point is im in an argument cause im an 8 string player and this dude might start playing with us and he said maybe use a six string fender. doesn't fit i fyou ask me

well what model, what kinda amp does he use, and what pickups are in it? and he could use really heavy gauge strings I suppose for the tunings

Oh man, I missed this post entirely the first time around
Didn't realize I called it a Showermaster

what do you guys think about playing fender guitars for metal? im in an argument with someone about. i wouldn't do it.

the setting would be:
a progressive, heavy, band with meshuggah rip-off riffs (8 string) and then clean jazz parts.

thoughts?

Wow, don't get too original, the world might not be ready for such unique music



Iron Maiden have used strats for two decades...

Judas Priest's K.K Downing has a red Fender with a Kahler.

Obituary used Strats with Floyds on the Album 'World Demise'.

Jon Levasseur of Cryptopsy used a strat for None So Vile and Whisper Supremacy.

I do hope you're not one of those people who are limited by the instrument they choose to wield...

this thing has some serious tone and was perfect for hard rock/metal.
if they made that into a 7 or 8 string i would be very interested!

What's happening on the top - that looks like an Aerodyne carve? Japanese?

Whatever, nice take on a showmaster.
