One Kind Guitar
What kind of guitar did Syd Barrett use?
I'm planning on upgrading from my cheap guitar to one of better quality and I wanted to know what guitar Syd Barrett used. I usually play his songs from Piper at the Gates and his two solo albums. Anyone know what kind of guitar he used for these albums?
Syd Barrett was well known for playing a Fender Telecaster (later he famously covered it with mirrors), which gave early Pink Floyd their raw, twangy sound.
He also played different Danelectros throughout his career, as it had similar sonic qualities to the Telecaster.
If you really wanted a Syd Barrett sound get a Telecaster, although a Danelectro would be a great option if you were on a budget, as they are well built, sound good and are really, really cheap for what you get.
Hope this helps
