Shouldn't be a problem either, actually. The earliest version of "distortion" (well before overdrive pedals) came from playing through shitty, blown speakers. Look it up, it's real history.
Ever listen to Black Metal? A lot of it sounds like it was recorded in a garage with old, blown-as-fuck combo amps (because a lot of it actually was). And that's not a bad thing. Could you use an old-school amp on a modern, more mainstream, heavily produced record? Maybe for cleans, but the distortion would be too obvious and out of place in a "modern" mix. Not everything has to be "hi-fi," though, and some people (like myself) prefer "lo-fi" every once in a while, especially when it compliments the music, like Black Metal or Hardcore Punk. Honestly, I'm so tired of everything being over-compressed and same-y, I can see why "lo-fi" is making a big comeback in indie circles.

I don't know. Up until the early 2000's maybe. But since I have heard things that can almost not be defined as music anymore, so incoherent. Not my every day thing but sometimes very interesting. Imagine what metal will sound like in 20 years.
an 8 string with EMG's? Id love to hear classic rock in fuckin Drop E tuning with killer distortion rather than that crunch most of the old guitarists used. not that it was bad, just not a fan.
Noeh A If I had to guess, he’s referring to the older generations’ disdain for extended range guitars. You know, the ol’ “E STANDARD OR DEATH!!” attitude.
They do sound pretty awesome distorted. The 335 even had popularity with the punk bands in the early 2000(Epiphone even released the punkier "335 DOT"), I also recall the 2nd guitarist in Static X using a 335. I also think the Incubus album, Morning View was recorded using a PRS hollowbody and its got a great distorted sound.
I have the same tele but black, I have a black les paul and I would love a black 335. Sorry Ola, your father has great taste in guitars! I remember he had a black les paul custom, where is that!?

That's pretty damn nice of you to buy that for him. Your lucky to have your dad in your life. Mine died when I was three and all I have to remember him is his three guitars and amp. Had to teach myself to play them. I'd give my every worldly possession to talk to him for one day.

It's always so fascinating to hear metal players improv blues. It's always super bipolar. One minute you're all cheery and the next you're super dark and sinister sounding. I love it :D
I can't believe I'm saying this but my favourite sound was telecaster. I know it's not built for pure shredding but the sound had so much character. If you want a specific, niche sounding music, tele is the way to go.
Teles are really good for doom metal and stoner rock because of the long scale length when you downtune and the single could give clarity in a mix when there’s lots of fuzz and effects
I've known that you can play metal on vintage/vintage-style guitars for years. I have mostly 1960s Japanese guitars, and all it takes really is to crank the gain.
Telecasters are great for those detuned drony riffs. There's something about the bite of the bridge pickup and the comparatively low output which lends itself well to djenty chugs. Awesome.
This ams not a grandpa's guitar, and I thinks you knows it. This ams Thunderhorse! I remember seeing that on an advert for the Epiphone Thunderhorse in a certain issue of Guitar World a few years back.
Is squier allowed?, I have a burnt and stabbed to death squier affinity series that used to be butterscotch, but now it looks like a burnt slice of toast
Tesco home brand pork sausage elitist The Gibson brand is too valuable. If Gibson ever goes bankrupt. I can imagine PRS or Fender swooping in to buy the Gibson brand. Unless the next crazy billionaire or hedge fund who thinks they know about guitars outbids them.
That les paul noodling at first was gorgeous. I did the same thing for my dad buying him music stuff cuz he constantly gave it away to friends! You're a good son and have a great dad Ola! Cheers
Ruiseart Alcorn as someone born in the early nineties, I can almost agree. My dad has an early 60s sg and oh my Gibson don’t make guitars like they used to.
Actually i really like playing metal on a tele bridge pickup, its so clean and ballsy. A les paul (Gibson) neck pickup is always great for solos of any genre.
I don't get why some shred people think 22 frets are inferior, 22 frets move the neck pickup at a certain place and it has such a round sound for leads.
NotActuallyBFG I exclusively play single coils. I like big soapbar style ones. They have higher output than many humbuckers with a really brutal midrange.
Ray Amukwaya the reason Les Paul and Gibson created the Les Paul was that hollow bodies were to distorted, so playing with distortion shouldn’t be a problem
Ray Amukwaya They sound good distorted and if you love feed back you'll be in heaven. Solid bodies feed back with practice you can use the feed back musically.
Since i got my Hofner very thin (semi hollow) i never went back. The sound, the feel and a big body really became my sound for really gnarly Grunge and Metal riffs. The Fender Starcaster joined almost a year ago.
My grandpa gifted ne one of his gigging guitars from the 80s a couple weeks ago. 1988 Charvel Model 7. Basically a Japanese Tele with a hockey stick headstock.
Now that's the kind of Tele style guitar that i would LOVE to have and play! Keep that one! But i'm pretty sure that it's not a hockey stick headstock, it's just a regular reverse pointy one (unless it's been replaced or repaired). It still looks cool though. FYI a Hockey stick style headstock is basically what Eddie Van Halen used on his custom Kramer.
You're right, not a Kramer style hockey stick headstock, but an angular one similar to some I've seen on LTDs. It's a sweet guitar. Rock solid build with fast frets. Pickups are surprisingly classic sounding despite its appearance.
I think the tele retains its bite even when heavily distorted. I also have 'grandpa' guitars and when it's time to really snarl, I reach for the tele. You're a good lad for keeping your dad plugged in!
I think it's awesome that you bought your dad an amp! Cool how you played metal on his guitars...probably the first time for them! Just wondering if dad was around to hear that or did ya wait till he went out! 😀
I’ve got an Epiphone Les Paul Standard Pro and just starting out. I’ve also got the Katana 100 amp. Good to know it can churn out those tones. Just learning basic chords at the moment, step by slow step.
guitars shouldn't be a problem. Try metal on grandpa amps.
Shouldn't be a problem either, actually. The earliest version of "distortion" (well before overdrive pedals) came from playing through shitty, blown speakers. Look it up, it's real history.
OK - but playing Slayer on a Tele thru a Fender Twin might not quite sound the same.
Cheshire Cynic rock wouldnt be, but metal would

Lets be perfectly honest.
If it has humbuckers, it can play metal...
William Halter
Ok
But humbuckers are better by miles.
@H W Single Single and humbucker is the best setting for me, one model you can find pretty cheap is the yamaha pacifica 012 PAC
not if it's hollow-body
For me, a single coil in the neck and Humbucker in the bridge more than gets the job done. But really, technology leveled the playing field.

Bought it for your Dad huh?
Nothing at all to do with you missing rocking out?! 😁
I think they sounded good. The ES-335 sounds great!
Repeat after me...
"WIIILL IIIIT CHUUUUUUGGG??!"
I played a Gibson 355 on a Marshall tube amp at my buddies house, and it was the best tone I've ever gotten. So much awesome!
“The slayer knob” 😂😂😂
The 355 was surprisingly good and turned out to be my favorite of the three. That amp really sounds great too.
Gibson ES 355 Memphis ❤
I’ve got an Epiphone Les Paul Standard Pro and just starting out. I’ve also got the Katana 100 amp. Good to know it can churn out those tones. Just learning basic chords at the moment, step by slow step.
“Damn it’s bright here” god damn metal heads LMAO!!!!
LOL, of course, many metal heads are nocturnals. ...Myself included.
