The Instrument Recommendation thread

I'm looking for a good guitar for experimental/noise rock what sort of guitar would you recommend? Something along the lines of Thurston Moore's rig but going for a jazzier sound.

Have you tried telecaster? I think that this is the right instrument.

Jazzmaster or Stratocaster - either SSS or HH.

Agree about the Jazzmaster - a very versatile guitar, with the neck pickup and rhythm circuit providing jazzier/woodsy sounds. See tone profile posted below. The Squier (Fender) Classic Vibe Telecaster might also be a good option; I have this guitar and am really pleased with it. See second video.

Try a hollowbody like a Gibson ES-175D if you want to be different in the genre, but it's more the amp than the guitar. Just choose something with a decent rhythm circuit, get some weird pedals, and a good amp that sounds full. Noise guitar music tends to be more trebly, and jazz guitar music tends to be darker and bassier.
