Father @VonBonfire , I must make a confession...

No JT
No PRS
Not gold tonez hardware...

Just Tan Pants
Double cream hot rails on a very unstock Squier CV 70s Strat running flat wounds

But I should get neo soul pimp points for the Tortoise pickguard, AllParts Made In Japan neck swap, 70s large headstock, bullet truss rod, Graphtech nut and saddles(added after this pic), Brass Trem block, and out of phase wiring on position 4 (neck/middle)

AI Overview

Yes, a natural wood grain is an excellent and versatile color choice for a neo-soul guitar. There is no "right" color for neo-soul, as the sound is defined by your gear, technique, and tone, not the guitar's visual appearance. However, a natural finish aligns perfectly with the earthy, vintage, and organic aesthetic often associated with the genre.

I'm too busy with EBMM Kaizen and Majesty guitars to care one way or another.

I figured you'd vote Handtruck and dUbbEL krEEmz.

I thought you knew me better than that.

When I buy DiMarzio's, they're either white or black; or both.

A set of duBBeL krEEmZ would really set that Kaizen off tho.

is an sg a good guitar for neo soul

An SG can definitely be a good choice for neo-soul, though it's not the first guitar that comes to mind for the genre. Its versatility and the right setup will be key to getting the warm, smooth tones that neo-soul is known for.

SG advantages for neo-soul

• Humbucker pickups: The SG's standard humbuckers deliver a thicker, warmer, and more powerful sound compared to the single-coils typically found on Stratocasters or Telecasters. This full-bodied tone can provide a rich foundation for chord progressions and leads.
• Versatility: While SGs are often associated with rock, they are quite versatile and can be used for a wide range of genres, including jazz and soul. Adjusting your amp settings or using pedals can help you get the clean, soulful sounds you're after.
• Comfort and playability: Many players appreciate the lightweight mahogany body, comfortable neck profile, and excellent upper-fret access of an SG. This can make it a very easy-to-play guitar, which is especially helpful for intricate neo-soul chord voicings

Where’s all of the above? Soulless list has no soul….

 

[thegame]

I’d never heard the term before so I’m just relieved these threads turned out to be about a musical genre instead of what Reza calls his A.I. girlfriend.

I think this "movement" is as interesting as the tyler guitar movement or van halen threads

The transition the the rig page is nearly complete

Edit: That may have been unfair. The neon souls is not pathetic like the van halen threads.

Right now if others don't vote it's looking like a lot of PRS, JAMES TYLER GUITAR, and dUbbLe crEEmz talk is in the future here. It's like TGP except everyone has stained camo cargo pants and a private reserve.

 

[Dan Gleesak]

I answered no for the sake of accurate data, but I believe the neo soul backlash is due to Van Halen toan threads being harder to find.

I think this is gonna be the year someone cracks that mystery!

 

[NeubyWanKaneuby]

I'd say I'm apathetic, but I don't even care that much.

It's just good clean fun. If you don't want to read the threads, just skip them. That's what I do, and it's worked out well for me.

(Truefully, Mark Speers does rip on that strat, but the video comments simping over Laura Lee are truly cringe worthy)
