What guitar equipment should I get for a really good surf rock/ska sound?

-Certain type of guitar?
-Strings?
-Effects pedals?

I’ve played in surf bands before, and nothing beats a Fender-type guitar and a Fender tube amp w/ spring reverb.

Strings? No higher than a 10-46 set. I use D’Addarios 9-42, but I do a lot of string bending. (fake pedal steel licks)

Effects? All you really need is the reverb, perhaps a tremelo pedal, and a bit of saturation to dirty up the sound when needed…like an Ibanez Tube Screamer…great pedal!

It also helps if your guitar is equipped with a whammy bar, like the Fender Strat.

Bands? Do a search on YouTube for the Hellecasters for some modern hot instrumental guitar, and study the masters… The Ventures. Here’s a clip from back in the mid-60′s. Have fun!
