Matthew's Guitar

[bobeatsbobo]

Matts guitar was korean you can tell by the epi logo. I've got an earlier japanese sheraton in wine red with a different style logo.

Anyway what happened to his sheraton at T in ther Park? He was playing that gibson(Es135???) i've seen him play it before but only for ragoo i think.

Its such a cheap guitar, usually rock stars play with guitars worth a couple of grand.

Want amp does he run it through? I have a telecaster with a fender frontman amp, and buying my second guitar and thinking of an Epi Sheraton as its cheap enough and i want to try recreate that Kings sound

You'd get a closer sound with a good new amp. Matt uses ampeg reverberockets but used to use orange amps and the like. i use a laney vc30 and get pretty close. Basically buy a good tube amp and a dan electro daddy-o and you've already got the old kings sound, newer sound would require more complex gear. I use a tele as a back up guitar and its not that different sounding to my sheraton.

Holy shit....I'm in a room full of boys for once.....

It's pretty shit there aren't that many women that would be into the equipment as much as the guys playing them in general, as a woman myself noticing this.

Somebody remarked on how cheap it was.... this reminds me of Noel Gallagher. The man has enough money to buy a Gibson, yet he still played an Epiphone to this day, though technically, Epiphone's supposed to be a "budget Gibson".

I'm liking Matt's choice but I'm sick of seeing those Ampegs and Matchless up there though between himself and Leb. Never dug Matchless.

arent matchless amps incredibly expensive?

and i reckon they sound lovely....all hand wired and whatnot

epiphones arent a budget gibson..

they are just owned by Gibson... 30, 40 years ago..Epiphone guitars were world class ... but with mass production they have gone a bit downhill

anyway..musicians modify guitars (change pickups etc) ther guitars...

so ye...it mitny be the most expensive guitar at first look but itd have a bloody good interior

yeah ive been in the market for amps recently.. they start at like 3,500 USD

Oooof Matts guitar is gorgeous, my brother has the same. Sounds fantasticccc.

[bobeatsbobo]

Does anyone know what reverb, echo and delay stuff matt uses?

I know he has a rack so im guessing he's got something rackmounted and i've seen pics of him with what i think was a line 6 verbzilla but it sounds more complex than just that.

And does anyone know whether he's still using the sheraton or not because he used a gibson at t in the park.

wow, totally over-priced. You can get hand wired tube amps for less than that AND sound better, but y'know, a musicians choice is a personal thing so to each their own.
