Style and Fashion

I decided to create a topic on the fashion of guitar players. What style of clothing or appearance do you like or hate? What color do you prefer in a guitar? What type of guitar body. I personally like Angus Youngs style because it was and is original. I dislike AX7's style.

I love the Fedora though Synyster does ruin it with his faggy bandana underneath, I also love the Slash hat, I've always been a fan of the Cape atleast when I play and look at myself it looks pretty fuckin cool to be wearing a riding cloakwith the hood up, I adore white guitars they're just so pure same with Lake Placid Blue, I like the body to be made out of maple with an alder neck but thats only because thats what I've played. I hate that weird purple red colour that Ibanez's come in, I really hate the way guys like Dimmu Borgir dress same applies to GWAR its a costume that makes people remember them not the music which destroys it, and um I really don't like those fuckin emo's I don't get why girls always love them.

i dont like name brands, i just wear anything tht i like, you wont see me wearing abercrombie or aerostrotale or any of tht sheit, i wear wut i want.

Fuck man consider yourself lucky we don't have anything in BC not even Hot Topic or anything most of my gear comes from Salvation Army Finds

most ppl in my skool dont know wut poor is, they consider som 1 witha 3 story $700,000 american house is poor...damn fools.

jeans and t shirt man thats it and i dont really have a favourite colour for a guitar but i do love my custom art les pauley

@Tilikidis

I saw your les paul in the pictures thread is it a gibson or an epi?

EMB thats what happens when you've got rich people making up the majority of your school my house is 2 stories and prolly about 500000 on todays market but its got 5 acres and its part of my grandpas land which is like 160 acres so I mean I got nothing to complain about but lordy people at your school are jaded

black t-shirt, usually plain fruit-of-the-loom ones, or black band t-shirts

cheap blue jeans with holes in them, holes from wear and tear over time, not ones that came with them at the store

jackass edition converse shoes

my 27 inch long hair

and for what it's worth, my house is worth $45,000, not $450,000

i dont wear jeans, idk y, never did. i usually wear these athletic shorts, i play lots of sports. new balence or k swiss shoes. plain black/blue sweat pants/shorts. auburn, or music t shirts, if u ask anyone, theyd all say for about 6 months i wore the same thing, eventually got holes, still wore them, they were acctually like 5or so shirts tht just looked the same, socks with holes, just my style lol. a hat at all time is required. i go golfing a lot, so i have 2 dress 4 tht, tucked in shirt, and all tht bs. im not saying the cost of my house, i will say, if any of u with young kids or if u remember the ninja turutles, i think thts it, ther like turtle tht fight this guy, like all the retarted "Action figure" stories, anyway, my best friend is best friends with the son of the guy who made it, im kinda friends with him, went 2 his bar mitzvah also, he hs like 15000 maids, and wont tie untie, or take off his shoes w/o a maid, and a lot of times the maids take it off, he has an atv track in his back yard, 3 atv's and wutever else he wants, fatass rich bestarerd. also one of my closer friends has a huge house with 2 ferrairies speeled rong of course, and has like 6 or 7 cars. just shows how rich and spoiled we all are, and no matter how many times u tell us, we still dont get tht ther are ppl tht are "really" poor, and homless ppl out ther. bunch of stuck up, sucking up (as in they suck up to teachers) spoiled brats we are.

Clothing wise: I usually wear jeans with a T-shirt. I generally don't care about brands, but I really don't like the crappy brands that are trying to be the "in" thing. Then again, the "in" thing usually pisses me off too. For example: There's this (pretty cool) freshman kid (I'm a junior) in a study hall with me who was looking at American Eagle's website saying how he should buy some boxers on there that were plaid. I just started yelling at him saying something like "So you can wear plaid under your other plaid and be a tool like everyone else?" Then I broke down laughing, pretty much hilarious. Anyway, I wear a lot of band (mostly Zeppelin, woo!) T-shirts and sports (that we get from coaches and whatnot) shirts.

Guitar: I'm generally a fan of the classic Strat and Les Paul bodies. I've never been a big fan of outlandish designs and would, personally, never consider buying one. For colors I like blue and the sun/honeybursts. Depending on the guitar that could change completely, though.

I'm not too concerned about fashion, but I usually wear just T-shirt and jeans (when it's cold) or athletic or cargo shorts (when it's warm). I usually just wear tennis shoes or sometimes sandals. My favorite clothes are my socks with NBA logos on them, since then I am so ballin. :D

At school we have a dress code: collared shirt, cargo/khaki shorts or pants and either sandals or dress shoes. Most kids wear Berkenstock shoes, which I think are very lame. I wear Timberland shoes (not the boots. they're just plain brown, but not too fancy). When we have "dress-out" days, every month or so, I always wear my Metallica t-shirt.

As for guitar style, I like strat, tele, explorer, and iceman shapes. I think black/brown sunburst looks nice. I'm not a big fan of plain colors, but I do like "transparent" colors, so you can see the wood grain underneath.

its a gibson

I will have one someday. I love my epi but I want a Gibson. I went to the guitar shop today and there was a guy playing a Gibson Les Paul through some kind of fender amp and it sounded awesome. Considering how bad I suck on guitar right now it would be a waist to buy a Gibson.

Speaking of sucking at guitar. Has anyone else (I am mainly speaking to beginners) ever think that they are not capable of getting good at guitar? Don't get me wrong I see improvement in my playing but it seems to come in spurts. I might go for 2 or even 3 weeks and it's like I am in a rut with no sign of improvement. Then out of nowhere I will start playing one day and it's like my fingers have a mind of there own. I play clear with no finger stumbles and every thing just clicks my timing is spot on and I just enjoy playing, but that never last more than a couple of days and I am back struggling to get things right and improve. I don't know maybe this is normal and my impatience is just getting the better of me.

Les, I get the daily -.- I have no imagination so I end up just repeating boring things over and over, keeps making me think 'why both', specally when you've been playing for almost a year and a half and see someone whos been playing for like 6months play some amasing shit.

I have no fashion sense so its weird what I wear haha:
'Vintage' style t-shirts/black/ band shirt, quite tight fitting normally.
Baggy blue/faded jeans.
Vans style trainers/school shoes (there seriously comfy to play in).
M65 U.S. FieldJacket.
Bonnie hat.

Gutiar wise:
Explorer/Kelly/Strats bodies.
Mirage Blue/Black.
Black/Polished Chrome Hardware.
6/7/8 String don't mind :D

Kelly and Strat bodies are awesome. I also like V shaped guitars but they are more common. T-Shirt and Jeans is what I wear. And two story house in California would cost about 2 million dollars. A ratty small house in L.A costs about $400,000. As for me I'm as poor as it gets (homeless, transient) this computer is not mine.LOL. All I have is my my word and my balls and my guitars.LOL

too long, the last thing i read was EMB´s post bout his rich friends... well, ive done some trips to hellp the poor in mexico... and i think i know whats poor and i feel africas much worse than mexico...
i met people with familiars that left them to go to work in usa, cause here they can only work on agricultural things one season a year and were not well payed for that. and you know? they live happy thats why i dont like emos, they most come from good families and cant appreciate that

oh les paul i used to get that all the time last summer man. i alsmot gave up but the thing that set me straight was learning a scale and really finding out what kinna music i wanted to play.

well the original topic has gone out the window a bit lol.

but i wear skinny jeans a polo or t shirt and thats usually it.

guitar wise, classic les paul everytime.

warming towards the sgs but thats probably because my copy les paul weights about a tonne.

and yeah i go to a grammar school and its just a big poshfest lol.

ah well the people are pretty safe usually.

other than one kid who lives in broadway which is a really posh village nearby and drives a jaguar.

and then moans about "living the hard life"

what a load of bullshit in my opinion lol.

I just wear jeans or shorts with the current weather and a t-shirt... sometimes a band t-shirt, trainers and a hat. I don't dress in extremes because I'm just not into it.

i wear whatever is closer in my closet lol
unless im going to a gig or a xvs

Whatever is on the top of my drawer.

Usually a band t shirt and jeans or camo shorts.

And joe, if you think a grammer school is a poshfest, just wait til you get to uni! You have loads of people from private schools, and they really do your head in!

@blacksun.

ha sounds just like my school atm lol.

anywho without getting all political the government is probably scrapping the cap on top up fees.

which means that universities become an industry like everything else and it breaks down into whoever has most money has the best education.

grrr lol

I guess I wear clothes that most working class folks wear (jeans, work pants/work shirts, wife-beaters, over shit, and a pair of black "blues brothers-ish" sunglasses).

Jeans and plain white T-shirt most of the time and apair of cowboy boots.

when i get older, id prob be made fun of if i did it now, but i want to get a leather jacket, huge cowboy boots, jeans, the look, u no.

Leather Jackets = awesome. Skinny pants=if its not the 80's youre living in the past. I know I am.

nowadays if you have skinny pants ppl say ur emo =p

cargo pants, black shirt, and skater shoes

I never wear my leather jacket... I started wearing a denim vest more...

My favorite guitar shape wise would be a White San Dimas Star, or a yellow super strat.

I don't like wearing shirts with brand names and stuff... It makes me feel like a billboard. Although I wear band shirts and have patches...

And in terms of favorite guitar player look. Ron Jarzamak, he is also my favorite as of late...

A San Dimas Star would be a Charvel?

I like your style Veqq.

i wear whatever is the cheapest.

Aye League, it would be. :D

And thanks. :D

I prefer Casual dressed, nothing over the top to emphasise your genre.
I like:


I hate:


WHORES.

That may look hot, but it's stupid. They look like AIDS whores.

Personally I don't mind what the instrument's colour is. The shape, however, I prefer to be natural and not over the top with weird bodies like a wing or a skull or something.

I don't know, I kinda like whore #3 from the right!
I have an outfit just like that somewhere in my wardrobe! LOL
I only wear it for "special" occasions.
Phip
