Hi everyone,

For years I've been primarily interested in electronic music, but over the last year or so I've really begun to enjoy guitar based stuff :twisted: I'm really into heavy fuzz, spacious yet not too tinny rich guitar sounds (My Bloody Valentine, Smashing Pumpkins, Dinosaur Jr., Mudhoney, Sonic Youth) I've heard over and over again how people interested in these types of sounds need a Jazzmaster/Jaguar/Mustang style guitar. These sound good, but honestly (too my ears) they're too "thin" compared to a Strat or Tele. I know that Corgan used darker amps, pick-ups, guitars to achieve his sound. This in mind I'd like some advice on which Fender gear you recommend that would complement my sound palette. Couple questions:

1. Are the Jazzmaster/Jaguar/Mustang guitars the best for this kind of sound? If so, how do you suggest "thickening" them up?

2. Which amps would you suggest?

3. What about pups?

4. What other Fender guitars would work?


Thanks for your help,

Leonard

Marshall amps and Fuzz pedals will do with any Fender guitar.
My choice would be the Stratocaster.
If you like fuzz listen to Jimi Hendrix.
