are ltd guitars good for heavy punk music, playing out of a fender stage 100?

[rufiochris182]

are they?

 

[Outlaws]

Heavy punk like Avril Lavine?

Probably. They are so hardcore.

 

[Outlaws]

Uhhh.......What is this?

 

[rufiochris182]

no no like avril, like some thrice, finch, glass jaw, shit like that

 

[Outlaws]

Why do people always have to throw out the most obscure bands for stuff like this?

Nobody knows who those bands are for a reason.




Because they are not very good.


Seriously.

Punk. Okay.

Like Rancid?
Like Blink182?
hell, the Kinks?
Antischism?

Are we talking Emo?
Crust?
Grind?
SexPistols type stuff? (Thats a LesPaul -> Fender TwinReverb driven to full capacity)

Gotta be a bit more widespread. Some people know what you are talking about, but most don't.

LTD strikes me as a metal guitar.

 

[Wireneck]

ok dude your way off on your genres

heavy punk? Is there such a thing? Anyways i could care less about any of those bands but my brother was pretty good friends with glassjaw and he has accumulated tons of live shows on video. Its always les pauls from what i remember seeing.
I can't even think of anybody i know of that actually uses LTD. Coal chamber? lol and that doesn't say much at all because they blow chunks.
I would get a more standard guitar that fits your style and feels right for you. Not some guitar that you think will create great "heavy punk" music but you won't be able to sell when the fad is over. Look at all the people stuck with 7 string guitars and guitar skills that only range on the low b , e and A string. Now thats a shame. In summary think before you buy and definantly PLAY and Play again.

I'm a huge fan of Thrice - They both use Les Pauls and SG's.

Pesonally, I use an SG Junior through the Rectifier setting on my POD.

If your looking at getting a good sound on a budget, I would suggest a similar route.

I assume you aretalking about ESP LTD's. They are good guitars. Thrice does use Gibsons, but other bands use esp's, notably Strung Out.

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say that it doesn't really matter what genre it is. If metal requires flavors that lean toward the Les Paul sound, then why do rock songs like Zeps "Achilles Last Stand" and Hendrix "Voodoo Chile (Slight Return)" rival many of the heaviest songs on the planet? I think the same argument can be said for punk and hard core.

The sound you want comes primarily from the fingers behind it, with your brain at the wheel. So go and get a guitar that feels good when you play it.

Well said.

Exactly. I have gotten some very heavy deathmetal tones out of my BluesJunior before...with my telecaster

I wouldn't disagree with that statement, but I would say that amp and cab selection and setting up can make more of a difference.
