i dont know much about surf and ska. but good gear for anything is a boss distortion pedal. bestow you any kind of rock sound from muted to metal. a wah pedal will add personal touches to your playing, for surf i know fender jaguars and jazzmasters are rather popular. a clothed marshall amp is nice to have.

the little i listen to i notice closely of short repetitive cascades in surfrock.
that and doubled log.

good luck. hope i helped!
Hola. Fur surf rock and ska you cannot go wrong next to the fender strat. Look at any footage of a surf rock band and all the member are playing strats. Dick Dale, The Ventures, you name it. For pedals all you really entail is a reverb pedal for the watery sound (Think Misirlou by Dick Dale, also played on a strat) Check out amble dont run by the ventures, wipe out by the surfaris, and the song pipeline by the chantays. These are definitive surf rock songs. Hope this help, Peace! Source(s): this has a great section on surf rock equipment. Good luck, its would be great to see surf rock music come wager on again

I've played in surf band before, and nothing beat 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 obligation is the reverb, perhaps a tremelo pedal, and a bit of saturation to dirty up the sound when needed...close to an Ibanez Tube Screamer...great pedal!

It also helps if your guitar is equipped with a whammy fishing rod, 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 support in the mid-60's. Have fun!
