That is one lovely guitar mate! Don't really like the whale bleu tbh.. But the rest is awesome.. Didn't know they had 1 piece maple tops..

I own a PRS Santana and a Framus Diablo Pro.. Which rocks! Can't believe you didn't even add that to the poll..

Framus, But mine is trans-black..

Also seems PRS has swung the vote on this Poll

Not too surprising considering this is an Opeth forum. :Smug: If there was an amp poll, I'd bet Laney would win it.

My boyfriend plays a Caparison.

By the sounds of it I couldn't go wrong with a PRS, now all I need is some cash..

 

[Sorrell]

My 2 main guitars (the twins) are severely customized Ibanez 7 string 7620s. I have many guitars which I keep around for recording and for sentimental reasons, but the twins are the only ones I really play. This is "Greenman", my main axe. The artwork is a wood-burning replica of a Paul Booth tattoo.

You know, I just wasnt that impressed by the PRS. Dont get me wrong, they are DAMN good, but maybe it was that my expectations were too high.

i've got a prs custom 24, but tbh my carvin wipes the floor with it

A chance to show off my baby! I know its pretty similar to mikes but it was just so beautiful i couldnt resist. I also own a shitty burns scorpion and a schecter C1-Elite Special XXX model. Basically if you ever find yourself being able to buy a prs do it. I have never regretted doing so.

You haven't seen my ESP eclipse yet! .. Guitar shops wouldn't let me try custom prs's so i don't even bother (just yet). I still play my schecter c-1 elite.. it's a nice guitar.

I must try one of these some time...

 

[affinityband]

personally i love les paul standards. I was gunna get a custom but its playing just didnt reflect the price tag unfortunately. Im gunna get myself one of these babys when i can find a unique colour.

I'd love to have a Steinberger GL... currently wielding a Ibanez RG1570. I'm not highly into the traditional electric guitar designs like the Stratocaster, Les Paul etc. I think the electric guitar should represent the future just like it did back in the 50s. Plus, wood's a bit too fragile and tends to fail time to time. I'm happy I at least have graphite reinforcement strips in the neck of my Ibanez.

I'm playing (well "abusing" would be more appropriate) a shitty 100 Euro Yamaha acoustic guitar...

Would you say your PRS is worth £2300?? the LP custom is around the same price... A mate of mine's got a black custom 24 from like '94 i think, and apparently they were cheaper then and the quality was higher too?? anyone know about this?

 

[Jeff-Loomis-fan]

i plays the
Ibanez RG1527 7-string (replaced pickups with EMG's actives)

 

[jrsh92]

I'm playing an Ibanez RG-120 right now. It's worth more than the $50 US I paid for it (used and abused), but I'm looking to upgrade. I'm looking at Jacksons and ESP's for my sub-$300 price range. I absolutely want to rid myself of the Strat-style whammy bridge and I want a guitar that generally doesn't suck. I'm torn between getting a Floyd rose for the awesomeness of being able to do the Floyd rose bend stuff, and a solid bridge so I can change tunings without going through hell. I'm leaning towards a solid bridge ESP. 24 frets is a must, and I'm looking at used stuff on CL because that's probably the only way I'll get much better than I have within my budget. Any advice?

Hmm, Probably not. But it was more a case of indulgence because i loved it so much. and the les paul custom i was lookin at in the wine red was about £500 more and just felt cheap as fuck.

 

[Awake_In_Animosity]

By choice I play a Epiphone Les Paul BB, Why you ask? Well I am glad you asked. Simply put Gibson Les Pauls break my already bad back and the weight of them kills me. So thank you Epiphone for not breaking my back.

 

[affinityband]

fyi there are plenty of guitars that arent as heavy as les paul for the same price and are better than an epiphone.
