Hardtail Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 Plonk your magic twanger ova day! I got the new strat back today after being with the setup man all week. Man... does it twang sweetly! Anyone who happens to see a hard tail strat in a music store, I implore you to go to take it to the nearest amp and play it clean.... and loud. Now I want more twang! Maybe a Tele?

Caevan O’Shite Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 For a different sorta twang, scope out a Gretsch with either single-coils or even their humbuckers. Their Elliot Easton signature-model axe is particularly twang-capable, with a longer scale-length than most Gretches and a pair of low/medium output Filter'Tron pickups. Warmer than a Tele or a Strat, woodier and twangier than a Les Paul... sounds killer through low to medium gain overdive!

Dr. Ellwood Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 ???? I agree Caevan, my RockJet had their version of Hmbuggers and it twanged with it's own voice..BUT, I saw Elliot play three times and he always used a beautiful solid burgundy, bigsby equipped Les Paul? http://www.thestringnetwork.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hardtail Posted March 18, 2006 Author Share Posted March 18, 2006 I'm not in a twanging mood anymore. I've been playing the LP for the last 3 hours. After I return from my son's soccer practice, perhaps I'll twang again. Damned... I feel so schitzo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kramer Ferrington III. Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 Well, I have a Danelectro baritone, which hits some pretty low notes (tunes to B) and that'd be pretty useful for doing that whole Duane Eddy thing. No bigsby, unfortunately. But yeah, a baritone in general is definitely worth considering as "a twanger". And of course, it ties in with all that detuned nu-metal thing as well, so it's a fairly versatile guitar.

Every Saturday night, WKBD 50 played old Flash Gordon reruns followed by The Ghoul. Definitely some good quality B rate stuff. Now that I'm back from a cold, cold soccer practice, the question is: to twang or not to twang? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimash Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 "pluck your magic twanger froggy" was originally a quote from Andy Devine. (mid fifties kids show) I am not amiliar with the "Ghoul" ( obvious Zacherle ripoff), My twang guitar is a Fender TElesonic, which combines Tele construction with a Gibson Layout and Gretsch type pickups.
