I do really and truly HATE how people who write articles like this think Fender and Gibson are the only major guitar builders, though.

I don't think they think it is tbh. It's more a everyone including non-guitar player know Gibson and fender so let's use those. If I mention schecter or PRS my mom.will just of 'ok, glad you like that giitar' but she has no clue.about the value of it.


It's really just to gain clicks I suppose.

nice read, 1b better than avg guitar players in the world WOW. it breaks my spirit much like the needle in the hay, breaks cause how can you be heard if there is so many people to hear. salvaged trees form the freeway sounds cool too

Great guitar players doesn't always(and usually doesn't) equal great songwriter. All the magic is in the songwriting not technical proficiency in playing an instrument.

Exactly, Ids. There are a lot of players more technically proficient than even Syn, certainly now, in this day and age. What he brings to the table to stand out is both his songwriting and the uniqueness of his playing style.

I agree. Same for Marshall and Fender amps.
