Opeth/Fender

[Boru]

What kind of strings does Opeth use on their Fenders. Also what would be some good pickups to get the same sound and tone as they do on the clean parts, talking about for a Fender.

always thought opeth played prs guitars(and jacksons in the past). as far as string brand i think its d'addario's and since they use standard tuning its probably a 10-46 gauge deal or possibly a 9-46 hybrid. i think most of opeths sounds come from one of those boss or digitech effect units more so than from the type of pickups used but i'd avoid a high output pickup for clean sounds. try the opeth board perhaps.

Ehem, on Ghost Reveries, they used PRS, Gibson and Fender guitars..... Along with Laney and Fender amps.

I like PRS but can't afford one. I have a Fender Strat and I love it.

They also use some kind of condensor microphones for recording the guitars and micing them live. Add to it that they have a particular mix setting that they use on the control board to accentuate certain frequencies and then there's the mastering... uke:
