@identifying-guitars-in-posts
Hi there! I use my neurodivergent knowledge base and some research to try to identify guitars in random things! Please feel free to send stuff in and correct me when I make a mistake :>
My main account is @imaveryevilenby where I post stuff a lot, go follow!
ok i feel like I have to probably say something about this since I'm a guitar blog kinda but...
Fender has shot itself in the balls and is trying to come back from that by suing more people
so what happened?
I'm sure if you're anywhere near guitar youtube you've seen a fuckton of videos about the situation, but in case you haven't here's what I know: Fender sued an Aliexpress company operating out of China (who's name seems to change in every article I look at) in Germany for the manufacturing of their stratocaster copies. As the lawsuit was in Germany and the company operated out of China, for several reasons they didn't show up to court, leading to fender winning the case by default.
Since this court case, fender has been sending cease and desist letters to many different companies making anything that looks remotely like a strat, using that case as a basis for copyright infringement.
This, as is evident, is a dick move. People have been manufacturing strat copies since strats were being made in the first place, with strat copies becoming probably the most common guitar made by many companies, with fender's rival gibson even making a few. To my understanding, fender let the original copyright for the strat body shape lapse YEARS ago, and with previous decisions on guitar body shapes labeling shapes like the les paul being generic, the decision to enforce copyright on the stratocaster has been seen by many as a bad move.
More recently, fender has sent a cease and desist letter to PRS guitars over their silver sky line, a line that has been in production since 2018. this is a stupid move for several reasons, first and foremost being that since PRS is considered the 3rd best selling guitar brand (according to wikipedia at least, I'm lazy, if you want quality look up videos on this) and thus can afford to fight a long legal battle better than the small companies fender had been going after previously. Even better than this, PRS has previously won a guitar body copyright lawsuit against fender's competitor, Gibson. so they both have the means and experience to fight this, meaning that if PRS wins, fender could lose copyright claims to its stratocaster line and potentially more shapes like the telecaster and jazzmaster.
again, look up videos if you want more info, but I for one am excited to see the downfall of one of the biggest guitar companies in the world potentially. if they go bankrupt from this I'm popping champagne and hoping gibson's next but that's just me
why did they do this?
again, just speculation and opinion here, but I suspect they're trying to do this now because profits are way down for them. during covid, they saw a boom in profits due to people both being able to afford their products and having the free time to learn guitar. Those profits since then have been steadily declining, and in addition with the prices of everything raising, nobody can afford $400+ guitars anymore. This leads to people leaning towards cheaper guitars if they want one and "missed profits" for fender. In creating a lawsuit on a chinese company in germany, they raised the chances that they'd win the case, leading to the outcome we see now of fender using copyright laws to stop manufacturing of all stratocaster copies. because of this, fender believes that a person wanting a stratocaster would come to THEM FIRST, increasing profits. However, the backlash from the guitar community has proven that this method won't bring in the profits they hope, and going after companies like PRS would lead to a lot more bullshit that may set up dominoes for the entire company's collapse.
anyway yeah. do your own research, I'm too much of an anticapitalist to present this story with any sort of unbiased perspective
i can be trusted and normal around your amps :3c (ive destroyed two)
now this isn't my thing by a longshot but I think that's an Orange Dual Terror amp head
Can you identify Dallas Green guitar?
Thanks
I couldn't, no, but thankfully @ebonyweb got it like immediately
That is a custom Seger Dallas Green YG

This is a Gibson SG Standard in Tobacco Burst, but a more faded tobacco burst like this 1980s example
there were also some natural bursts that matched somewhat well, the difference being that the actual burst is much much more subtle than on the toy, almost unnoticeable in many examples I saw
@identifying-guitars-in-posts I uh. I don’t even know what to say
gonna be honest, don't even know what kind of flying v that is because all of the ones I've found have an offwhite body and white pickguard, but this has a white body and an offwhite pickguard which is a weird ass combo
but also. what the fuck
new look cause why not
elliott smith of the day
@identifying-guitars-in-posts 3 of them (none complete tho)
ok so the first one, the logo is covered up mostly by a sticker, but I know the I from an old Ibanez instrument when I see it
and sure enough,
this one is from a 1980s Ibanez RS924 Roadster bass
looks like this and MUST be placed in front of a motorcycle for maximum toxic masculinity
the one on the far side is some type of Stratocaster. Can't tell anything about it more than that, I think it's a Fender/Squier but I really can't be sure. I'm gonna put a picture of a classic vibe 70s strat for reference cause it looks nice
The middle one tho? a little bit weird. I think it might be a jaguar based on the fact it looks like it has that chrome upper plate with the switches, but that might just be a bit of graininess from the photo or a sticker or something
final guess is a Fender Jaguar like this Kurt Cobain model
hey while i remember I have this account I'm gonna share with you guys my solution to The Evil Tremolo System on my cheap strat
2 stacks of pennies wrapped in masking tape!
funniest fucking part is it works, I have the thing set up in D standard rn and I didn't need to move the bridge once
does that cause other issues? probably! idk!

This is a Fender Precision Bass
closest color match I found was this 1984-87 made in japan precision bass in white
the yellowing tho makes it look like an olympic white, and a modern recreation would probably have that olympic white designation
he has a name :(
My cousin Throckmorton died?????

@identifying-guitars-in-posts uh. This could either be easy mode or hard mode depending on what you try to identify.
ok coming back to this because apparently tumblr glitched the last post
I can say without a doubt that it’s A music man stingray bass, but as to which one specifically I have no idea
I thought it was this one, the Sterling by Music Man StingRay Ray4 bass in Ruby Red Burst Satin
Now why is it not this? Well that fucking bass sure isn’t satin and the fretboard is a bit lighter than it should be. Additionally, the decals on the headstock are slightly off and it’s pissing me off
so It’s some kind of stingray
as for the rest of that gear, I have no idea. there’s some pedals and audio interfaces and uh. bet that keyboard’s a yamaha lol
i think its this but i cant find an image w the full bass im sorry
edit: WAAGAGAHAGAGAHA. the headstock is wrong nvm. dies.
edit 2. no actually it wss just that one picture w a weird headstock. i think im right again
see i thought that, but that has a maple fretboard and yeah the headstock is painted on that model which is eh
burnt apple might be a good lead tho, music man is weird with color names

hard mode but just cause i can't find the specific model of stingray that is lol
I've found some that are damn close but none quite exactly like that one
fun fact! did you know! that taking the springs out of a strat's bridge means that there's no metal contact between the bridge and the grounding wire! which means your electronics are no longer grounded!
i didn't learn this the hard way shut up
