when its electrics and acoustics thats actually quite common...I can't bring any examples to mind right now but there are more than a couple....

 

Richie Sambora... Kramer and Ovation

 

Eric Clapton: Fender-Martin. There's a big one.

 

Eric Clapton: Fender, Martin, Gibson
Eric Johnson: Fender, Martin
John Mayer: Fender, Martin
Slash: Gibson, Guild


Back when people bought CDs instead of downloading music it wasnt uncommon to see 3 or 4 guitar companies listed as endorsers.

oh sorry i feel stoopid

 

The only acoustic song I know they've done is "Gently" off of Iowa

1 song out of what...4 maybe 5 albums now?

 

just to change this topic up a little have you guys seen the patriot series morley bad horise wah? what is different about it or they just want some more money from us hard workin folk?

 

Yea, I saw that, It was FUGLY!!!
But then again it is an election year.

 

lol they need a mccain and obama wah

 

I think Vai had Ibanez and Carvin (at least for amps)

 

I can understand guys endorsing one brand of electrics and one brand of acoustics but here's one that doesn't make any sense.

Rob Marcello
Suhr AND Caparison guitars. BOTH endorsements are for electric guitars!

 

What doesn't make any sense about it? We are always talking a bout using different guitars to get different sounds, but when a pro can get different guitars free or at a serious price reduction it doesnt make sense?

 

no the fact he dont play acoustc ever is what dont make n e sense.

 

I was talking to budd

 

lol a little drunk didnt read all the responses lol

 

Marty Friedman: Ibanez - Ovation
Alex Skolnick: Heritage - Yamaha

 

Vai had Ibanez electrics and Carvin acoustics, before the Euphoria model came out.

 

Yngwie Malmsteen: Fender and Ovation

 

OK, my related question is which companies are a major force in both acoustic and electric guitars, and therefore an endorsee would only need one endorsement to cover both duties?

(maybe Gibson?)

Jim

 

Brand snobbery aside, Yamaha.

 

Brand snobbery or not, I wouldn't call Yamaha a major force in either field. They may make electric and acoustics, and they may be decent guitars but they arent a Fender, Martin, Ibanez, Taylor, etc....

Fender makes both electric and acoustics, but their acoustics are no where near in the same league as their electrics, so they dont fall into that category either.

 

Fender and Gibson may be the two big boys, but how much are they really competing with each other. Gibson doesnt make anything Strat or Tele like and Fender doesnt make anything Gibson-esque. If having a Clapton model with each company works for them, why not do it. I could see Ibanez not wanting to share an endorsee with Jackson because they are both known for making superstrats, but Fender and Gibson couldnt be farther apart.
