I know this is a 3 year old post, but the kids are still alright. They are opening for the Rolling Stones in Los Angeles in July. From a library to SoFi stadium in 3 years, I think there will be a larger audience.
I’m glad to hear they’re still making moves!
Ditto the Linda Lindas!😜

I've been way too patient and understanding of bigots in my lifetime (I come from historically multiracial Louisiana Creole families) and they've just gotten worse and worse over their lifetimes.
I’m a Creole (of VERY mixed ancestry) from NOLA myself, and I’m saddened by the newfound license to express their hate bigoted people are enjoying right now.
But I’m most disappointed by the ones in my own family. I’ve been involved in pushing back against that BS, with some positive results. But some of it- especially in some of my younger cousins- seems rooted impossibly deeply.

I thought Bill Kirchen was the guy who first reversed the control plate on his Tele. Or did he just popularize it?

I prefer stiff picks for almost all purposes; their thickness depends on the materials used.
So on the thick side, I have picks made from hard plastics and jade.
I have done medium thick picks made from hard plastics and different kinds of agate.On the thin side, I have carbon fiber, carbon nylon, steel, copper and titanium.

That dark stain really brings out the grain, and reminds me of some PRS Guitars that I've seen. You would be hard-pressed to find an off-the-rack Guitar that looked anywhere as good!
The $$$ you don't spend on tools can go into the electronics, and a strap worthy of the Guitar.
Agreed!
For something unusual, I’ll suggest a Franklin Link glove-leather strap. I’ve gotten a couple of these, and they’re surprisingly soft on the shoulder, even though they’re not really padded. The construction gives them a bit of flex.

I’m back!
Amusingly, the Youngs of AC/DC used few pedals beyond basic functional stuff- tuners, wireless rigs, EQs. Their formula was basically humbucker-equipped guitars into British style (Marshall, Orange) amps turned way up.
I know one used a boost pedal- probably Angus.
So, echoing Winston’s post, about all I’d add for an initial attempt at this sound would be a “Marshall in a box” or distortion pedal if you don’t already use one as your main amp, plus a transparent boost style OD or simple volume pedal. That should get you solidly into AC/DC territory.
The JHS Angry Charlie and Marshall Guv’nor are pretty popular Marshall in a box pedals. I’ve heard the Menatone King of the Britains/The King is getting some respect. (Disclosure: I don’t own any of these.)
Dialing in Isis’ guitarist’ actual sound might be a little trickier. There might be a hint of other effects: distortion, fuzz, reverb, chorus, etc.- thrown in, but if so, they’re using it barely on.

I listened to the video, and have ideas, but I’m RIGHT about to go to bed. I’ll comment more later.
Let me say this, though: one of the tools I use (besides my own ears & brain) is a sire calle Equipboard. They have lists of the gear musicians used to record their music. Type in a name, see what they’ve been spotted using.
That said, Isis sounds a lot like they’re aiming to sound like AC/DC. So even if you can’t find Isis’ gear, you could look to see what Angus & Malcolm Young have used in their storied careers.-

Update: mom liked it so much, she wants me to get another chuck roast and do it again, soon.
You can’t get bigger praise than that!

D’OH!
“My brain is what I forget with”, as my dad says. I got the description backwards: it was NOT cherry wood, it was walnut, and the pickguard was red.
Still looked like a cherry bonbon Tele, though. Got THAT part right.😜

It took me a while, but I finally remembered what your Telebastard reminded me of.
There was a guy on another board who had a custom Tele with a glossy-finished cherry wood body (or top/cap) paired with a chocolate-brown pickguard. It looked like a cherry bonbon in telecaster form.

It was pretty darn good, and Mom REALLY liked it.

I experimented and did a fusion of Hungarian Goulash and Hungarian Mushroom soup. Worked out pretty good!

New song, never heard of them until 30 minutes ago, on loop ever since.
Nice!
Kinda reminds me of The Moody Blues, maybe infused with some Pink Floyd.

In fact, my 8 year old iPad just died yesterday. Mom’s is having issues, as is Dad’s, though his is the most reliable. Currently looking at iPad Airs for replacements.
Good thing we all updated our iPhones a few weeks ago! 🤦🏾♂️

I went looking for more Hitsujibungaku stuff. One part grunge, one part pop, one part shoegaze- overall, very 1990s.👍🏽

Here's a demo:

I’d love to own an actual 12-string, but right now, I emulate that sound using an EHX Epitome (which has a POG in it). But something like this would let me free up the Epitome for other stunts.
Speaking of EHX…

If you can’t find a standard Gretsch pickguard for your guitar, there’s definitely companies that can make custom ones for you:

I think they’re only doing one show near me, in September. And it’s not a big venue.
