Can Fender (in standard tuning) be HEAVY?!

Fender is super I dropped one on my foot and I was crying

[TylerZoucha]

Winds of Plague used to play in standard tuning; although, I'm unsure if they still do.

I think it kicks ass. The riff you play sounds like chimaira! Comes out sounding pretty heavy yeah. Rock on!

[tobiasgiertz]

I see a humbucker by the bridge position. That's cheating.

Tony Iommi seemed to do alright with one on Black Sabbath’s first album (before the electronics fried, that is😂)

People seem to forget sometimes that timbre is only one aspect of writing music in a specific style.

[glevy]

very nice for a fender, quite impressive.

People say strats aren’t for metal, what they really mean is single coils aren’t for metal, get it right

[iorwethlispuszczy]

Could you change the pickups to Seymour Duncan JB Jr. Strat Single Coil Humbs and make a presentation of them in metal (I found only a hard/jazz rock presentation of it)?

[randyyoung]

Trey Azagthoth could make a uke sound like Cadillacs raining from the sky heavy

[junito]

its all about the amps and effects you could even make a violin play metal

[biergartner]

Sure it can! Listen to Stormwarriors "The Fenders of Metal" that's a clear statement! Maybe I got it wrong for I'm German😂, but to me it does not matter what brand u play as long u got the spirit. Metal is forever! 🤘

[ChrisB]

Its NOT the guitar, its not even the amp....it is the Its all in those magical fingertips

[skaterman]

I think it sounds good but I just love drop tuning so much!

[DarkRoomProductions_CZ]

if you use the whammy bar on a strat.. are you a fender bender?

[blarno]

As soon as people get it into their heads that detuning doesn't mean heavy, the world will be a better place.

[timothymuscat]

You used a humbucker in the bridge.
That's cheating.

[dustin]

Good songwriting makes a song heavy, not tuning.

[jackmerry]

Have you ever heard of a little band called Iron Maiden?

[EXHUMEnCONSUME]

You used an HSS Strat with a humbucker. Too easy, challenge yourself and use a real Strat with singles.
