Yeah, that pretty much sums up the Esquire. If you thought the Telecaster was as simple as an electric guitar could get, the Esquire has even less to it. However, despite this being a subjective topic, there are some undeniable flaws to acrylic guitars that may deter you from wanting to use them. Additional Weight That’s not what I’m talking about, although it’s worth looking into if you’re looking for something specific/different.

In the same way that different tonewoods used for electric guitar bodies produce noticeably different sounds, acrylic guitars also have distinctive sonic qualities. While not all Steinberger Spirit guitars are in the squared-off "broom shape" as you see in the photo, most are. This is one of the strongest arguments for acrylic guitars – they look undeniably cool. The way that their appearance changes depending on how close you are to the body, and how much light is reflecting off the surface is unique, to say the least. By 1967, Ampeg was owned by Unimusic, who fancied another try with guitars to sell alongside the brand's popular amps. They came across Dan Armstrong, and in '68 asked him for some advice about the guitar business. Dan was a respected guitar repairer with a busy workshop, originally across the street from Manny's on New York's 48th Street "music row," but by now on Laguardia Place in Greenwich Village. His shop was well-known to many of the city's musicians and a lot of touring players. Dan also worked as a session guitarist and bassist in NYC: That's him playing bass on Ohio Express's "Yummy, Yummy, Yummy," for example.Indeed, wood is also a very hard material, but it is often finished in a way that smoothens it and makes it feel more forgiven when it is used for the body of an electric guitar. To decide whether an acrylic guitar is worth investing in for you, we first need to take a look at the key features and aspects of these unusual instruments. What Is a Clear Guitar? These guitars are commonly known as "see-through" because you can literally see right through the transparent material. The acrylic will usually be "ice" clear (shown in photo), red, blue, orange, yellow or green. An acrylic-bodied guitar is one of the worst you could ever own. Why? Three reasons. Less transparent than some of the others on this list, the OCD still leaves a lot of your amp's flavor when in Low Peak mode and many guitarists dial the gain down and use it as a boost. Based on a Marshall Bluesbreaker circuit, the JHS Morning Glory is perpetually recommended as an excellent transparent overdrive. The V4 allows you to use an external footswitch to select the gain structure remotely.

Dan's quest for originality certainly created a distinctive-looking instrument, but he also wanted to exploit what he saw as the advantages of the non-standard body material. In Beat Instrumental in '73, he explained how he'd searched for a rigid material, based on the idea that rigid steel guitars sustained well. He wanted something very hard, and concluded that wood varied too much. Maybe if you chose to invest in a more expensive material like diamond or gold – then you might fuss a little more over budget (note: diamond and gold sheets are not featured on this list).

Summary

There’s a lot of potential to dial in your own tones with this unit. Not only do the bass and treble knobs do a great job at cutting or boosting their frequencies, but the drive control itself can add a bit of tonal coloration itself. Bottom line: if you want a transparent, barely there boost, you can get it, or you can flood your sound with more translucent drive as well. This pedal is incredibly versatile. Alternatively, we could be recording a guitar part that takes longer than expected to nail down, or we may simply feel the need to increase our practice routine to several hours a day to improve our skills.

While the sonic and dynamic benefits of acrylic guitars are debatable, one thing that they do possess is an interesting aesthetical design. Several customers have commented on how colorful and vibrant the material is and how it brings a new life to their guitars. In the heady late '60s, these new plastic-body guitars must have seemed like a possible version of the future. Maybe the days were numbered when only wood could be used for a good professional guitar? Customers note the material is easy to work with, though some were only half satisfied with the quality of the material. Acrylic guitars often sound best when they’re used with a small amount of gain so that the thin clean tone is given a boost in power.The Looking Glass is a collaboration from DOD and SHOE. It's a smooth overdrive that excels at subtly enhancing your amps tone while remaining crystal clear. All of these activities require us to be comfortable when playing our guitar. If we’re not, then this may lead to pain, discomfort, or even injury, which in turn could hinder our progression in the long term.
