Unpopular opinions on gear

Orange does the low mid grunt thing better than the Mesa rectifier series.

I tried a boosted Rockerverb years ago and all I could say was hooooly shiiiiiit.

Probably a very unpopular opinion just because I like Strats, but hardtail Strats are better than normal Strats and Fender needs to make more of them.

That's not all that unpopular. A lot of people block the trem.

But if Fender made them the right way you wouldn't have to block the trem. I know plenty of people that play Strats and like 1 that uses the bar. But no...there's just '70s Strats, the really overpriced Tom Delonge ones, and I think like one current sig model.

I like poplar burl as a finish on guitars.

"Shitty" gear can have more character than using THE "BEST" top of the line gear

You continually prove this to everyone else here, idk if this counts as unpopular here.

Whammy bars aren't cool. Stop it.

22 fret guitars are not better than 24 fret guitars, and that neck pickup placement doesn't necessarily make it sound any better (different isn't always better). I for one would much prefer having at least 24 frets on my guitars, anyway.

Not sure how well or how poorly that's received here, as a whole, but I know that has irked a fair amount of folks among the older crowd (ie- Fender and Gibson fans) and even a few individuals who are mainly into caveman riffs, surprisingly enough.

Wait until you see that 25 fretter from Jackson that got posted the other day!

Wait another one, or did someone re-post about it? I remember one from at least a couple months back, and everyone joked that it's where Jackson put the missing one from the 23 fret Kelly from a couple of years ago.

IIRC, Fender Mod Shop has a hard tail option and Fender (I think) has a couple hard tail models.

I’d go for a hard tail Strat myself, but it feels weird not having a trem on them.

I always dug the look of a hardtail strat, too. Gimme more Strats with hardtails and Floyds.

Just slam the bridge down with 5 springs

Probably easier to dial in as well.

I would extend that sentiment to strat shaped guitars in general. Not enough hardtail hh strat-shaped guitars on the market.

Pedals that have a waitlist or are hard to get are overrated

Limited / special editions are in the same basket.
