    give the man a signature damn it

    • @MorningShotFilms
      @MorningShotFilms 6 лет назад +81

      Noah Gibson I think it won't happen just cause this man owns dozens of jazzmasters so that shows that he's not happy with just one guitar. Realistically for a signature guitar for him to have, it would have to be several signature, one for each different use and style

    • @samcooper2143
      @samcooper2143 6 лет назад +106

      MorningShot4 all the guitars are more to facilitate different tunings so that he's not tuning and warping the neck of the guitar in a live setting. A signature is definitely possible

    • @s1ayd
      @s1ayd 6 лет назад +17

      MorningShot4 they could do something similar to Thurston's signature. He and Lee both have tons of different jazzmasters, but yet got their signature models. Well, in Lee's case it was obvious that his signature should be a jazzblaster, but in Thurston case they captured a general idea (no tone control, no rhythm controls). Fender might go the same road with Kevin, should they release his signature.
      However (and this is just my opinion), Fender kind of fucked up SY signatures, especially in Lee's case. AFAIK Thurston's jazzmaster, despite having (or actually lacking) some of the features, still came out as a regular jazzmaster. You still had to take it to a luthier to set it up for SY tuning, at which point you could do the same with just a regular jazzmaster (which I would argue would be closer to what Thurston plays and more authentic, I guess) instead of overpaying for a signature model.
      And Lee's jazzmaster, well, all you need to know is that he contacted Curtis Novak to fix those shitty pickups they put into his signature model.

      He plays a lot of pentatonics and barre chords. Sonic Youth is all weird tunings to play chords with one finger. Ritchie Blackmore took cues from classical guitarists and introduced major scale modes way before anyone in the 80s did. Now Tom Verlaine, John McKay, John McGeoch, Keith Levene and his generation were true innovators. These two just wank with effects and trem bars
