Favourite Guitar Brand?
 

what do you prefer:

GIBSON
FENDER
BC RICH
DEAN
SCHETER
OTHER ( PLEASE STATE )

i think that gibsons would probably be my favourite but they all have their qualities. fender stratocasters ( which is the guitar i have ) have an awesome bluesy bite to them.

Other...

Ibanez

I'm quite fond of Ibanez

Gibson....obviously. :D

I'm a big fan of Dean guitars.

also dig schecter, jackson and some others...big on the Deans though.

Fenders by far :D

Fender....no contest.

Favorite guitar of all time

the 1962 fender jaguar

fenders are fun to play...i just never liked the sound of them compared to other guitars....maybe with good pick ups

Gibson or fender are the best

I like the Jangstag ( I think I spelt that wrong....I'll check for spelling later)

the 1962 fender jaguar < I love that guitar. Also, Johnny Smiths are nice. My dad has one from the 60s or 70s (The exact year eludes me), it's real nice. I hear Washburn is real good too.

my schecter hellcat (the old old ones with mini-humbuckers)
danelectro guitars
and gretch

Jackson are quite nice too.

No one has mentioned Harmony?

I know they went out of business in like the 70's, but I recently rebuilt a 60's Harmony and it sounds amazing.

more on topic

Gibson, Ibanez, Fender

Gibson's have the best tone in the world. And the Les Paul is the doggies bollocks we all know that!!

Sex objects with strings :D

A Yamaha SG beats a Gibson for tone IMO and I love the sound of a Gretsch.

Gibson, but fender is a close second

i have a really nice blue bass guitar made by Richwood. its ace!!

so thats my choice

yamaha
fenders are overrated
ibenez is good 2

Musicman guitars defenitely are one of the best, I have a mex strat which I would never give away though

Gibson, hands down.

^Gibsons are pretty much crap unless you spend more than a thousand dollars on a Standard model. Anything lower than that is pretty much a waste of money. The only low end Gibson I've ever played that I liked was a Faded model SG, and the only reason it played well was because the friend of mine who owns it spend hours tweaking the action and intonation.

In terms of "affordable" guitars...the lower end Ibanez models are actually decent guitars out of the box, as are LTD's. Generally LTD's have the best features for the money. Schecters are decent but to find one that plays really well you have to do a lot of searching.

If we're talking about legitimate guitars, professional quality and playability, and a slightly heftier price tag, then ESP and Ibanez definitely take the cake. It depends somewhat upon the type of neck one prefers on a guitar, but ESP guitars have the best necks in my opinion. They're relatively thin, but the fretboard isn't so flat that you end up only being able to play on one type of guitar as you do with most newer Ibanez guitars. In terms of speed though, Ibanez are the best. The flat fretboard allows for slightly wider spacing between strings making sweeping and tremolo picking (a.k.a. shredding) easier and cleaner.

Carvin guitars are also great in terms of playability but they're among the most expensive. PRS as well, though like Gibson, you have to spend at least two thousand to get one that really plays. I don't like PRS necks though, they're very Fender-esque; wide with round back and fretboard.

I'm not talking "Favourite Guitar Brand On A Budget?", I meant the expensive ones.

^Even still, for the money, there are definitely better guitars.

The mighty mighty Kay Guitar Company, based out of Chicago.


that & Danelectros.

Ibanez ofcourse

Godin, iz da bist.

I <3 Fender

Ibanez fer ser!

Stat
Telecaster
Les Paul
Gretsch
Gibson SG

But my favorite brands are of the Gibson ES series, mainly the Gibson ES-175, Steve Howes weapon of choice.

I like Ibanez and Jackson the most...

the bc rich series.. oh and you also get a copy of "gibson" which is called "givson" here in india, hehe..

Deans/Schecters

Fender. You can always get parts for them if something breaks on the road.
plus, they make the greatest guitar ever...Strat.

fenders...not stratocasters as they are boring as **** but the others are nice
Maton are up there for me
as are old schecters
Mean streets guitars make some sweet evh clones

I prefer
 

Alvarez Yairi all the way

you're such a progger
nothing wrong with that



I have some serious ibanez hate
ugh generic modern metal guitars
no tone

ESP all the way

Dean - sold out and smeared by friend Darrel's name in dirt and money, plus, quality went down the drain about four years ago

BC Rich - custom shop only ones worth it

Schecter - FAIL

Gibson - alright, need more EMG's and more Foyd Roses

Fender - they're for a certain type of people, like...65yo+ hahaha jk

:nono:

Deans and schecters are just ESP's made of cheaper components and horrible craftsmenship




80's Jacksons were good, even the bolt ons
