Vintage or Modern?

[IGRocker]

Which do you prefer? I you narrowed it down to what your personal tastes would be, which would you pick?

Personally I would take a Marshall 1959 (with an attenuator!!) and a Guv'nor pedal. My LPC has Wizz paf replicas in it, CTS 500k pots, and PIO capacitors, .015 for the neck and .022 for the bridge. You could say I'm into vintage stuff! So how about you guys?

whats modern ??? EMGs ??? Death Metal ??? im a PAF kinda guy.i have all kinds.Burstbucker Pro Lead my new favorite

All my guitars are based on designs from the '40s to the early '60s, all my amps are Fender designed or inspired from the '50s or '60s, I prefer P90s or sweet single-coils... I guess you could say I like modern stuff: mid-century modern, that is....

 

[IGRocker]

I'll say any music you would've heard starting in the 80s as modern to clarify. 70s and earlier for vintage. 80s would mean high gain amps (JCM800s, etc.) and high output/active pickups. 70s and earlier meaning guitars and amps from the 70s or earlier.

Hopefully this clarifies some

I probably lean toward modern, though my amps say that I lean toward cheap.

I seem to really "feel" the 08-ish Epiphones are my favorites.....so I guess thats Modern then? Though Sg's Firebirds and Lesters are not really "modern" are they?? I am confused....what time is it?

I was a teenager in the 80's. Its all about the shred.
