"Best" noise/space/ambient rock guitar?

[PFDarkside]

Is there any guitar better suited for swelled, delayed, phased, fuzzed out noise/space/ambient rock than a Tele? I've been jamming on the new '52 with any combination of the above for an hour now... I see why Syd chose one.

Yup! Syd...that cat's something I can't explain.....

...sad but true.

One of the guys who plays with me is a total kraut-rock player and he uses a Danelectro with '56 with the lipstick tube pickups and a Hagstrom hollowbody. He gets beautiful (and also really scary) sounds.

Play it loud, fuzzed, and spacey. No other way.

EDIT: Sludgenutz a BIG one plus on your sig, "Long live the stoner groove"

The longer I play, the less I see any particular instrument more suited to a style than another. I've got a vintage ES-175 that I love using for metal.

My advice would be, come on here, ask some questions, but don't get too hung up on what gear you're using. If the guitar feels good, and the amp is loud enough, you'll be alright

for ambient stuff, David Torn does just fine on a Klein, and for more spacey stuff, Robert Fripp is using a Tokai.
I am talking way out there...not Syd ambient, more like stuff that is pretty unidentifiable as guitar music.

ng my Tele too... it's just a cheapie but man it is good! They 3 saddle bridge has to go! The out of tune intonation is bugging me.. Weather i get the compensated saddles or replace the whole bridge to a modern tele only time will tell...

for triggering synths, this may be the worst. go with a godin or a brian moore, with RMC pickups, it works much better than a roland ready strat.

Agreed. The Roland Ready Strat is like trying to push a dead horse uphill for triggering response. The Brian Moore is like sliding downhill on ice.

For triggering synth's, the only one I have played is a Godin LG-X and it worked AMAZING.

[Pecan]

Whats the point of this synth and all? I've never tried it, I prefer old skool Godin guitars.

[Mincer]

special pickups that allow you to trigger a synthesizer, adding another dimension to your playing. Or thousands of dimensions, it really depends on how much you want to put into it. You use a 13 pin cable, which goes into a midi interface box, and then to either a hardware or software synth. Or to a modeler like a Roland VG88. But it certainly isn't for everyone.

Jazzmaster does the job nicley, i'd like to gtet one of those next. Although i use a Strat, a Les Paul, and a Wolfgang for all sorts of fuzzed up, spaced out sounds.

Any guitar is suitable, provided you play it in a swelled, delayed, phased, fuzzed out noise/space/ambient sorta manner.

The key to experimental music is that it's experimental.....all the rules are meant to be broken.

[PFDarkside]

I guess I was just pumped about my new guitar and really digging the tones I was getting out of it.

[Benjy_26]

I think that the Fernandez Sustainer system might be handy for weird noise-making.

Too right, that thing is ace, I just dont like the tone of the pickup it comes in. Its not a duncan dammit!

Thats what I was thinking. I really failed to see how a guitar could be more suitable for space rock than another. Its all effects anyways. I guess some guitars can allow for a guitar synth pickup better than others but thats about it.
