Joe mate, theres a difference between expressing your opinion, and making a statement such as "Fenders are cr@p"....

Look Joe,
I really don't care what you do or do not like.
Basically I was trying to point out you really should'nt dissmiss ANYTHING quite so easily.
Fender make a plethora of styles and necks (maybe none will suit you but I KNOW you have NOT tryed em all).
This was started to ask why people LIKE Fenders and you waded in all c--ky berating them.
In my opinion, and ONLY mine, History is important, so knowing where your Super Strats etc. originated is important and wide sweeping statements can serve to make YOU not me look silly.
Understand, basically I was in my cack handed way trying to help you to be abit more reserved and educated and not so bloody c--k sure when you are not correct, get it?

Joe, can I suggest you retire gracefully-in fairness, the thread was about why those of us who have them or have tried them like them. Not all Fenders are $25000.00 now are they? So lets leave it there eh?

I didn't ever say Fenders are cr@p, i just said i didn't like the way they look.

Did i say they were shite sounding, no.
Did i say that they wern't comfortable, no, in fact i said they were comfortable.
Did i say i didn't like the necks, no, in fact i said some of the necks were nice to play.

I don't know where you got all this Fender is cr@p from because i never said it.

talk about petty and pedantic.

if your gonna be like that; did i say you said they werent comfortable? no.

did i say you said you didnt like the necks? no.

did i say you said they were shitee sounding? no.


and your exact words were something like "i cant stand any fender guitars"

thats just as bad, if not WORSE, than "fenders are cr@p"...

you too need to calm down a bit more mate, and think about what your saying.

Joe, you are soooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ill educated with guitars it's sad.

Firstly, Post title 'Why do you like Fenders?'

That was NOT asking for you to come along and say they are cr@p!

Second, ALL Strats are modelled from the Fender 'Stratocaster' see how that works.

I don't care what you like, look at your tag line, you apparently 'destroy' all your equipment anyway!

I did'nt say you should like them, YOU said they are UGLY!

And if you were really knowledagble you would know that Gibsons command somewhat of a high price too.

Y'know what, I really don't care. you have proved your scant knowledge yourself, not me.

I did'nt say anything about anyboody needing to like them, just trying to say that you making sweeping remarks without backup or knowledge is silly.
Heck only bought my first Fender the other day so (as I said at bottom of my post) am not exactly a Fender nut now am I? Get ya facts right.

Oh, and playing a guitar for 5 mins in a shop or whatever you do after school you will  (well may) find out does NOT let you get a good impression of an instrument.

I rarely pick on ppl., just STUPID and ILL informed comments which you make abundantly.

Don't like it? I don't care!


First of all i wasn't the only one to say i didn't like them.
Secondly your only arguement every time i say something is ohhh no experience blah blah which is bullshiteee because you don't know anything about me!
Also, why did you say Gibson's have a high price, i don't even own a Gibson...
You implied that because i didn't like them (which is just my opinion!!) that i am wrong and you went off on one. You just need to calm down, lower your blood pressure and not get affected by someone else's opinion.



Look, I posted my last reply before seeing this one.

Get over it!
 Experience, you are at school with Sambo, which makes you young and therefore not YEARS of experience as many here.
You post questions continuously (which is great) but then write stuff about experience, the two don't jive.
YOU made the mega price statement, I pointed out that it's not only Fenders by qouting Gibsons..
It was'nt your opinion that erked me but some of your misinformation, aka necks.
Joe, I remember you pm'ing and asking me questions ages ago. I helped ya all I could and hold NO malice towards you. I just think some of your posts/comments are ill informed and you should research/learn/ask more before putting ya foot in it.
Heck, as I said, I only JUST bought a Fender myself. But I know enough about them, History, types, necks, prices etc. to be a little informed.
My Petrucci would NOT exist were it not for Fender for instance.
Just think more before ya post or ask, that way ya don't make so many false sweeping statements.

well there you go then- im not having a go or anything

but that wasnt exactly clear was it?

a lot of this hassle could be saved with just a bit more thought taken about what your saying.


im not exactly one to talk as i always used to c--k up with stuff on here, and it might even just be a genuine mistake or slightly bad wording some times e.t.c.

just semi-conflicts like this can be prevented by being careful and clear Mr.Joe.

Look Joe, let it lie now.
I said I was'nt trying to berate but help you out.
There are Fenders out there from the 50's to today, trust me, one day you may fall in love with one.
Whatever you do choose, I wish you happy playing, just don't dissmiss stuff or belittle it so easily, one day ya may eat ya owns words.

I don't think Fenders were made for any kind of metal, so i doubt i'll be picking one up in the future. In fact i spend my money too fast to be able to save for one.

MAYBE, if i found one with hss, with a floyd and no pickguard. But they have never done those i don't think.

ok, I give up!

BTW, Fender have made EVERY kind/type ya could imagine from what I have seen.

And a HSS can be VERY metal (aka Iron Maiden,and MANY others).

You don't like em 'those you have seen'. I get the picture. But wading in like ya did with nothing to back up your comments was not smartest thing to do.

Anyway, good luck.

HAHAHAH! Brilliant :lol: Anyway, Maiden and Priest (and probably countless others) play or have played strats and you wouldnt say they arent metal.

Oh, and that white HM strat on the right in that first picture is so nice. I've only just got my new guitar and allready getting gas for one of those  :oops:
