Guitar Trends you think need to go away.

Mo' toggles, mo' fun. I'm not a huge fan of strat-style switches. Again though, this is just personal preference. The main point was down with push-pull. No pun intended.

Ok, so you just mean you don't like mini-toggles just because of their size.
I can understand not liking them, but if you're looking for the most efficient
way to switch from parallel neck to series bridge, the super switch is the
way to go. Screw flipping multiple switches when you can just hit one.

Meh rotaries are better then slots..

I sort of hate them both, I turned my les pail toggle so it switches side by side because I was CONSTANTLY hitting it, and I do the same with my tele switch, POSITIONING POSITIONING POSITIONING

I keep hitting my guitar switch in the midst of a particularly emotional bout of guitar-thwacking.
This is because of everyone and everything else's fault and not at all because I have terrible form.
I need my guitar switch to be.....not on my guitar.

+1 to turning switches in a better direction, though. One definite shortfall of the 5-position.

I need to do that for my L-2500. I've accidentally whacked all 3 switches at times while playing.

Squier versions of Jazzmaster. It waters it down and makes it less special.
This probably makes me a snob, but so be it.

I don't play the guitars i do because i want to feel special, i play them, because i want to

that makes me sound hostile

maybe a bit but i just don't feel like the "uniqueness" of the guitar should be a criterion

We all have a little hipster in us.
Obscure is cool, and making something
in a Squier model definitely makes it a little less obscure.

Hipster ain't what it used to be.

As time progresses, "hipster" keeps moving closer and closer to "mainstream" (and/or vice versa).

Consider, hipster was a term used to describe whites who listened to jazz in the first half of the 20th century.

yes.. sadly not to play deathmetal on... and play gaze on a pointythingy

[madmax1012]

i know it's not death metal, but the dude from the devil wears prada plays a jazzmaster these days? And Zombie EP was heavy as fuck.

3 on a side Gibson style headstocks on every single cutaway ever produced (this is obviously hyperbole, but not really).
