The ukulele is the fedora of string instruments. Played by children and pretentious semi-sentient materialist zombies who want to adopt an indie aesthetic without taking any creative risks at all.

non reverse firebird

I have one and I like them, before they were the hipster guitar of choice even. The top circuit is useless, but the bottom switches are nice.

Yeah I was actually considering getting one but I hear there's issues with the bridge?

strats

This. I've also seen a lot of people playing old Teiscos, old Harmonies, and other pieces of beginning shit from 50 years ago that are way overpriced now.

>but I hear there's issues with the bridge?
I have one with a fixed bridge, so it's not an issue. Played a few with the vibrato system and they're not bad. I've played strats and teles and own a strat, but I don't really like the strat tone as much as the Jag tone.

The one thing about the Jaguar that a lot of these dumb hipsters never make use of is the rear of the lead switches that acts as a low end filter, it's extremely useful with distortion because that and the tone knob can act as an EQ.

cool and cute guitarists use yamaha pacificas nowadays, just look it up on wikipedia

There's no reason to keep choosing Fenders every time.

>never make use of
I'm surprised by how few people see the use in the rhythm circuit. It seems like most people either think it's useless, or completely ignore it because the idea of using a switch seems to complicated. It's really nice to have the option of a pre-set rhythm sound you can easily switch to, and way easier than constantly messing with the other controls.

Jaguar is the manlet's choice guitar

No, that's the Mustang. Jaguars are actually pretty big; people get confused because of the short scale, but their bodies are big for a solidbody.

Why? Its scale is only .75 inch shorter than Les Paul and 1.5 than Strat/Tele and such. Is it really that much of a difference? I own 25.5 scale guitar, although I played a few 24.75

>I'm surprised by how few people see the use in the rhythm circuit.
I used it when I got it, then I got tired of it, and just used it as a kill switch with the knobs rolled off, but yes it can be used for a different tone setting.

There are of course wiring mods for the rhythm circuit, such as blending it into the lead circuit's tone.

I want a Jazzmaster only because of the tremolo bar placement.
I tried one once for ten minutes 3 years ago and holy shit, I can't go back to a shitty strat setup now.

Eurorack or more likely entry level synth, kids are realizing guitar isn't as easy as just turning knobs.

They're heavier than strats.

except that theyre relatively cheap, dependable, and look/sound good

You know exactly what you get with a Fender.

A lot of the Mexican ones are really cheap, but good quality for the price.

High-end Jazzmasters are unironically some of the best guitars on the market

All the hipsters in my city play telecasters.

You cannot top the almighty strat. I know it seems obvious and dad-rockish, but you can get literally any sound out of that bitch.

Maybe if it was 2004

Geez, when are all the 60 year old strat shills just gonna die off already?

Straya?

sadly this

There is LITERALLY nothing wrong with Telecasters

>old Teiscos and Harmonies

this is the answer. everyone in my friend group has at least one of either

>muh idealized version of the past
get the fuck out of here, you old coot

Yes

No every college student owns a ukulele, and they all carry it with them at all times.

are you a time traveler from a 2006 liberal arts school?

I'd say the Tele rivals it, but that's sort of their deal - blank slate that you can just run wild on and do whatever you want with it, if you tinker with it hard enough. I've seen someone use a Tele to really pull off a Marr-esque sound, but another guy with a Tele I know manages to have this unique, almost droning sound with it.

I haven't kept up, the jazzmaster was played out after 2005- 2007, people started using hollowbodies again(es335 type gibson/epiphone casino). I don't know what people use anymore or what's poplar/overpriced at the moment.

>poplar
popular

I use a hollowbody, but none of my musician friends have one. However, they all have Teles

I like 335s but they're not that popular.

Is Superstrat the Chad of guitars?

>Chad guitar
>mostly played by autists
yeah no

no?

fender jazzmaster will always be the hipster king
nah I'd go with something from BC

beat-up Epiphone Casino into a Supro

trip dubs checked

Gibson LP (has to be Gibson, no Epiphone or other brands) is the Chad of guitars.

jags are still pretty hipster

danelectros are the new hipster guitar

Who the fuck cares what kind of guitar "Hipsters" play? (Do people even use the term "Hipster" anymore?)
