Erotic Regime :o
« on: March 19, 2010, 08:17:27 PM »

The time has come for me to get a 'traditional vintage style Strat' (well... kinda)... so!! I put a deposit down on this badboy today.



I believe it's the very same one used on the Fib site here http://fibenare.webzeppelin.hu/eroticregime2.html

I'm not at all sure about the 24 frets, but other than that, very cool!  It's got a "cheerful" look about it.   :D

The clip on fibnare's site sounds good - on my cr@ppy pc speakers at least, and i'd like to hear it with less delay/reverb but still sounds good. Wish I could be abale to play like this FWIW...

The look is well... interesting ?

It reminds me of a sex toy I once had the pleasure of using, you'd have to take the strap button off though. Well that is unless she was a kinky bitch!

that does sound rather nice.... and look rather odd.  the rounded horn thing works well on basses but will always split the crowd with guitarists

Not a fan of 24 frets? I know what ya mean about looking cheerful. It looks like it should be on kids T.V. Maybe it needs a rainbow and a big smiling sun airbrushed on it to finish it off.

Yea, it's very similar to this Pedula shape as someone pointed out over at musicradar.




I really like the quirkiness of it. Although, Shobet is right. It does look like a sex aid.

The idea and story behind the Regime model is really cool imo.

For the 20th anniversary of the wall came down in Berlin in 1989, Fibenare presents a series of it’s Erotic model called Regime. In the age of the Regime (from the 2nd world war to the late 80s) in East-Europe musicians only dreamed of having a guitar from the other side of the iron-curtain. These were typically a Strat, a Les Paul or a Tele. These days when the market is free, and people can get exactly what they need, we’d like to dress our Erotic model in an old-fashioned way, in order to merge our childhood dreams and the „regime reality” that we lived in. So let us introduce the Regime series, in the colours of the cars we had in this part of Europe with a symbol on the neckplate that everyone had known and most of us didn't like.


This picture shows the carve off better. The body dips on the controls.

Nothing against those extra frets in principle, but it leaves less space between the pickups and I prefer the way the neck pickup sounds with only 22 frets.  And on some 24 fret guitars (i.e. PRS) it means there's more of the neck sticking out from the body, I don't like that either.  I'm happy with the 24 frets on my SG-X, because there's no neck pickup and the neck joins the body exactly where it does on a regular SG (in fact I'm pretty sure all SGs could have 24 frets, thanks to that big gap between the end of the neck and the pickup).

Yeah, rainbows or smiley faces would be good.  I think it needs a different headstock shape to complete the cheery kids' TV look.

Interesting how I see cheerful and Shobet sees sex toys....  :P :lol:

Ah, I see. Well, that kinda thing doesn't bother me, I understand if your trying to achieve a 100% old school tone all of the small things add up. But that doesn't get me off.

This was recorded by a dude called Lance Keltner with his Erotic Regime http://www.soundclick.com/bands/default.cfm?bandID=957691&content=songinfo&songID=8121580

It's got a lot of switching going on!

All that switching would confuse the hell out of me!
I think I hate being indecisive.

not too sure if the looks do it for me, but i'm sure it's a badass guitar (and that's what matters) :)
