Yes. The Ron Asheton Signature model will produce the early Stooges sound. That's what Ron wanted. Iggy was adamant about Ron using a three single coil guitar to record/tour with.
this thing could definitely pull off metal with those thick humbuckers. Then it's just a matter of getting good gain, which a good amp and/or pedal can easily do, no matter what kind of guitar or pickups you have (except maybe a full hollowbody, because they feed back at high gain). I'd get the volcano myself if I wasn't broke.
Yeah! That's the wonder of the Bass Contour knob (3rd one). Roll it down and you can get some thin sounds suitable for rhythmic stuff like ska and funk!
???my frnd u can play anythin on any guitar...if i recorded some thrash on a hello kitty strat u want notice any difference but of course u want play metal on a hello kitty on stage an esp v is more like it.
My question is, since there is a Ron Asheton signiture model, does that model produce the sounds of the guitar of the the first two Stooges albums?

I own this axe in the natural finish,real nice sound but NOT for shredding,not hot enough.
Blueagle8u 2 years ago
Of course it's for shredding, just get a pedal, (or you would probably have one already if you shred)
CleverDjembe 2 years ago
@CleverDjembe i think the reason why he said that its not for shreding is maybe because of the fat vintedge neck

are they any good for metal? anywhere from metallica and stander tuned metal to like slipknot and mudvayne where they're tuned down to b and c?
metalhead22448899 2 years ago
They have PAF style Humbuckers so more vintage.. I would suggest good for Blues and Classic/Hard Rock.
But with the right Amp everything is possible ...
