Hopefully meeting Steve Rothery in 2019
I'm heading back to see my folks around Easter next year, haven't been back since 2003 so will be great. A few months back after a few beers I decided to send an email off to Mr Rothery, just on the miniscule off-chance that I could meet up with my 'idol' as it were. Anyhow, a few more months pass and an email drops into my Inbox from none other than Mr Rothery...
"Hi James,
It might be possible to meet you in Aylesbury for a coffee. Message me again closer to the time.
Best wishes,
Steve."
So now I'm slightly shitting myself, wondering what guitar I should take over for him to sign and what the hell I am meant to talk about over our espresso's

Nice work. Say hi from me. I was that guy in the crowd in 1991 waving at him, north London.

I could be wrong but I'm sure in that pic he's playing a Squier. That being the case he can't possibly be any good.

ask him about the bridge on that guitar. and say thanks from me for script for a jesters tear
There are still some that think the neck PU is moved to accommodate the extra frets which only proves they cannot detect the difference in length of each.

Yes, it is, but it is an early Japanese Squier, so that says he puts tone over brand.Molly wrote:I could be wrong but I'm sure in that pic he's playing a Squier. That being the case he can't possibly be any good.

Don't counter my prejudice with logic!

Re: Hopefully meeting Steve Rothery in 2019
Yup. He’s always favoured the older Japanese Squier’s, they’re often equipped with Kahler trems and EMG pickups.
Seems like he’s favouring Jack Dent guitars these days (they make his signature model) but he still plays his Blade’s every now and then; he has a pretty substantial collection as you might well expect.

I was not going to mention the EMG pickups, I'm trying to make him seem cool here!Mini Forklift Ⓥ wrote:Yup. He’s always favoured the older Japanese Squier’s, they’re often equipped with Kahler trems and EMG pickups.

A world based entirely on logic would be boring indeed. And we would all be playing Telecasters.Molly wrote:Don't counter my prejudice with logic!

I heard he bought a Squier once for an appearance on Top Of The Pops. The whole band was bummed because they could not play live, so he brought a left-handed guitar for the filming. I like that story, I hope it is true.
