Your Favorite Brand of Guitar?

[antiface]

I play Ibanez guitars, but the most comfortable guitar I've ever played, and the one that sounded the best, was a Yamaha Ty Tabor Drop 6 model. Sleeeeeeek. I should have bought it, but I wasn't in a position to do so. (Wife kinda nixed it then.) I'd buy one now, no problem.

I play Esp/Ltd guitars, but I´d play Dean guitars if I have money enough

I own several Jacksons and love them. Ditto for Fenders. But nothing for me compares to my trusted and true, and now very battle-worn black 1984 Gibson Explorer. Been my #1 axe since . . . well, since 1984.

But honestly, if I were to go out and buy a new guitar today, it would probably be a set-neck Schecter. I played a few at Guitar Center recently and loved the feel.

I got an couple new axes a few months ago so i'm still up in the air about which is better. Also , sentiment has some value towards a guitar too. This is one of the new ones. Its a Gibson special edition gothic explorer. (all the hardware is black.) Plays like a dream.

The pickups are emg's. I would have to say it sound freakin sweet. I would use it for our next recording if it wasn't for the fact i want to keep it in E and not fuck with the action.

I also have a Ibanez s7320(best tremolo bar system EVER), a N.J. series B.C. rich mockingbird (neck through),a washburn seven with seymore duncan invaders (sweet pickups), and my old yamaha Rgx i have had since i was 16.

I play Schecter guitars exclusively & I'm lovin' them! As you can see from my sig, I have a C-1 Classic (stock SD JB Jazz combo), a C-1 (SD Invader bridge , stock neck p/u) & a C-1 E/A (RMC piezo, stock p/u).

ESP FTW!!!!

 

[In-Halo]

Play an esp ex400 with emg's get a good metal sound out of it and also have a schecter blackjack which is nice but always seems to sound to bassy and can never get it to sound bright enough =/

 

[Vacant_Planets]

I have a Schecter Hellraiser and I have no trouble controlling the bass on it.

 

[Eligos]

I voted Musicman, because they make splendid basses. I shall one day own a Stingray 5. Or a 6-string if they make one. But that won't be for at least a few years.

 

[Axle]

Definitely Dean. I got too hooked on the Dimebag and MAB signatures.

 

[cannibal corpse]

Jackson.

 

[Symbiant]

ESP/LTD again for my vote!!

Own all...

 

[viewerfromnihil]

i don't know how some people can like Jackson so much, i played 4 of them last week (kevin bond, rr24, COW 7 string, and something else) and they all were very light (not a good thing in my opinion, takes away from the tone), bad playability, had horrible tone even with EMG's, and they all felt cheap. after that, i picked up a $600 bc rich and it killed all of them. then i went home and played my ltd and it destroys jackson's in every way, not to mention it's a hell of a lot cheaper than the jacksons i played. the only jackson that i've ever played and thought that it played great is my drummer's pre-fender jackson soloist.

LTD and ESP are the shit. Ibanez takes the cake after than then Bc Rich followed by Dean... Gibson are really good too i have an SG but it's my punk guitar.. Yeah jackson/charvel are alright not a big fan. Washburn are pretty decent i used to own an a-10

I swear thats mine right in this picture. I sold it to a buddy years ago back in 1995. Who knows where it is but this one looks identical to mine..

[viewerfromnihil]

for me personally, bc rich is my #2 company. plus bc rich has started upping the quality of the mass produced guitars

 

[The Ozzman]

I played a used Jackson at a Guitar Center once and the feel was unlike any other guitar I had ever played, so Jackson gets my vote.

 

[brainimpalement]

Ibanez. My Xiphos is so easy and comfortable to play it feels like I'm cheating.
I think the main problem with Jackson is that if you want to get a prestige-level guitar you have to pay a lot more for it than any other brand. For example, the Jacksons I've seen don't start being neck-through or set neck until you're paying $2,000+ (AUD). My Xiphos cost me a little over $1,000 and it's neck through. Also feels like butter.
Though if I had the money, it'd be ESP all the way.

All I've played from BCR was their cheap ones, which were so shitty they bordered on unplayable. I played an ibanez S the other day and for lead it was so fucking sweet I almost bought it right there. However, the sound was a little thin for rhythm. I also played a Jackson RR model (not sure which, $650) that was pretty nice except for being really awkward to play. I might get it and just play standing up all the time. Very good rhythm and lead feel.
As for gibsons, nothing has impressed me. I never liked the Les Paul, tbh. And SG's are just unfun.

Can you say left handed stratocaster, Fender of course? I only play my right handed strat when Im BORED.
