Fender - Twangy. Too much high end. Some people actually like this, though. You can always do what I did and put in some more aggressive pickups. Stick in some Lace Sensors and you can get a low end that rivals Gibson while keeping the high end (if you want it).
Ibanez - I just straight hate these guitars. The only person who plays one yet keeps my respect is Steve Vai...and even he thought they were a joke. They wanted him to play their guitars so he famously gave them a huge list of ridiculous demands which - to their credit - they actually met. Including a handle. Other than that, these guitars blow.

teh winnarawr!! this is about commonly heard(sorta annoying), non technical stereotypes.
yes, exactly what I was looking for.
See, I was kinda sorta involved in the original exchange that turned into the inspiration for this thread. For the most part, what I wrote at the top of this thread was the general wording of the exchange.
So a level-headed guitarist(sitting next to me). Is now telling me:
B.C. Rich: Is the "Hipster Guitar". The "I love satan" body styling with no regards to the beauty that should be apparent in a stringed instrument. Buying one essentially states that the owner is trying to be "The Ultimate Badass" That is now $170 dollars poorer after buying one. He himself plays an ESP custom shop alexi V, seymour duncan blackouts, light top heavy bottom strings.
I guess in this thread, generalization and stereotypes are a must!!!
