This is a blog I've wanted to do for a long time.
Some famous guitarists have used the same old instruments for years. Why... when they could have anything they desire? There is no one answer for this but some guitars have the 'magical' mix that their owner feels that they cannot get with another guitar... even if it's of the same model.

Fender guitars come off an assembly line and technically should be the same for ones made in January to the ones made in July. There are small variances in the materials. The thickness of the neck being the same, but one neck has a slight difference in grain or density of the lumber it was machined from. The same with the body parts. All kiln dried lumber most likely harvested from the same forest. A guitarist trying out 10-15 guitars in a music store wouldn't know if the neck wood came from a tree that faced sunlight or grew in the middle of the forest. He just knew that one of those guitars had a slightly different resonance, enough to make a decision to buy it.
I've seen lots of YouTube video interviews with musicians who discuss their trademark style and sound that comes out different when they play another model.

Players like Joe Bonamassa has a never ending collection of Gibson Les Paul guitars, each special but favors a few that he tours with. I've seen him play a Fender Stratocaster and it's a slightly 'different Joe' with the Fender.

Pink Floyd's guitarist David Gilmour used to play a Fender Telecaster that was lost on his flight to an American tour in 1968, ended up with a black Stratocaster he purchased at the (world famous) Manny's in New York City and kept it for over 40 years.

In the short video David explains some guitars that spawned a few iconic riffs and songs that came about from these guitars. Axes that define your sound.

A while back I bookmarked a video of a Japanese metal band called Yousei Teikoku and I again listened to it tonight. Their genre is a cross over of Gothic Metal, Dark Wave and Symphonic Metal.
Having seen a few Japanese performers, they are unlike American Metal artists who appear noisy and sloppy. The Japanese players are fast, precise and very articulated.
Mostly sung in Japanese, a few videos have some phrases in English.
Always tastefully done with the set, filming, lighting, props, clothing and instruments. It's something I would listen to again.
I followed a few of their social media and website links, but there isn't too much to be found. Nearly all of it is in Japanese.
