favorite brand of guitar ?

pog	Date: March 13, 2004 @ 3:10 AM I love all brands of guitar, but I've never picked up a washburn that didn't make me cry with happyness. so what's your poison ???
attapulgite	Date: March 13, 2004 @ 3:24 AM I've always wanted an EVH Wolfgang... I'd die if someone put that guitar in my hands. It's my personal Holy Grail.
shinkaide	Date: March 13, 2004 @ 3:26 AM Errhh... that's me... just used the wrong account, sorry!
shinkaide	Date: March 13, 2004 @ 3:26 AM WOLFGANG! YEAH!
Arthen	Date: March 13, 2004 @ 4:27 AM Fender Stratocaster, cream white with lovely scalloped maple neck. Or a Joe Stump ESP signature. Scalloped maple necks just do sooo much for me!
pog	Date: March 13, 2004 @ 4:31 AM mmm Scalloped maple necks
billhudson	Date: March 13, 2004 @ 8:53 AM 1967 Gibson J-45 , you can see one of mine on my web site. Has been refreted 3 things and has a worn look to it but the sweetest sound. Still Pickin' Bill H.
Distilled1	Date: March 13, 2004 @ 9:35 AM Les paul 1968 and almost every PRS I see
woodhead	Date: March 13, 2004 @ 11:38 AM for me it is the guitar it self, no particular brand but a certain feel and tone. This matters most to me, but I am currently playing an ESP custom II I have also owned in the past Jackson, charvel, gibson , fender, Washburn, bcrich, Ibanez and countless others, but currently looking at a PRS, but we will see.
jazzdog	Date: March 13, 2004 @ 1:38 PM I am currently playing a mex strat. I also have an Ibanez A/E. I have owned many guitars in my life. For overall sound and playability, my all time favorite was a Gibson Explorer. (wish I had it back) Only drawback was it weighed a ton. I see that the guitarist in Trapt plays a 7 string Explorer. Might look into something like that next.
pog	Date: March 13, 2004 @ 7:54 PM I would't mind a 7 string ibanez gem
DavidDivad	Date: March 13, 2004 @ 11:50 PM esp and les paul for me oh yea
pog	Date: March 14, 2004 @ 1:21 AM I once saw this esp with one of those tremelo's with gears on it (rickenbacker?)and it was all set up properly..
pog	Date: March 14, 2004 @ 1:22 AM sorry, my bad it was a prs...
mytakamineg240	Date: March 19, 2004 @ 2:27 AM Les Paul all the way!!
mytakamineg240	Date: March 19, 2004 @ 2:27 AM Or for acoustics Takamine and Gibson
tossom	Date: March 27, 2004 @ 6:58 PM Give me an SG over a Les Paul any day.
jcmathews	Date: March 28, 2004 @ 12:24 AM I'd love to have about seven different models of Gibsons. But, for the money, I like Schecters... Melodic Rock Guitar Instrumentals found at: http://jcmathews.dmusic.com
smooka	Date: March 28, 2004 @ 9:50 AM Taylor, Martin ,Guild
shinkaide	Date: April 1, 2004 @ 4:32 PM Peavy EVH or Ibañez JEM/rg series. Kickass guitars.
neshband	Date: April 4, 2004 @ 12:02 PM i like fender strato , and gibson pg model ...
badvibez	Date: April 9, 2004 @ 1:51 PM I like them IBANEZ guitarz... i think those are the finest of them all... JEM series with monkey grip
sqrlcub	Date: April 9, 2004 @ 3:48 PM I love my Blackshear guitar. If I could ever afford to have another one made with a guarantee it would sound as great as this one I would. Rodrigo makes some sweet classical guitars too.
DevonPowell	Date: April 9, 2004 @ 6:50 PM Taylor for 12 string. Yairi for classical and 6 string (tho Taylor's are about equal there). Martin's are ok, too Original Danelectro's for metal. Original Les Paul's for jazz/most anything else.
pog	Date: April 9, 2004 @ 8:45 PM Ibanez jems are cool (steve vai design) oh and I like ovations. One day, I'll have an ovation.
RuFiO821	Date: May 2, 2004 @ 3:12 AM Fender and Ibanez.
tossom	Date: May 2, 2004 @ 7:38 AM Vigier
UnbreakableTed	Date: May 2, 2004 @ 1:24 PM I have to go with the Warr Guitar on this one. I've got a weakness for instruments that are designed to be played touch-style. Unfortunately, the odds I'll actually be able to afford one anytime soon are slim to none.
Traf	Date: May 5, 2004 @ 8:29 AM Give me those dirty old PAFs on an old Les Paul anytime... They're not as smooth as all the new humbuckers and oink a bit... Can't beat a bit of oinking.. Mind you.. I do like the Jems...
DevonPowell	Date: May 6, 2004 @ 6:03 PM Ahhhhh! I just played a Brad Nickerson FC3 acoustic/electric... One word: SICK. This thing was balls out the most beautiful instrument I've heard regarding acoustic guitars. If only it wasn't $4,000 for a used one...
chrismacmanus	Date: May 8, 2004 @ 10:40 AM I'd prob go with Martin's at the moment, I'm busy blistering myself on the glorified egg-slicer that is a Simon & Patrick - I'like the sound though, although it's developing a hole where it's been kicked around a bit too much. I like the sound of Bert Jansch's acoustic Yamaha, but any I've ever played were shite (prob 'cause they were the cheapo ones).
Traf	Date: May 10, 2004 @ 12:07 PM Changed me mind.. Today I like 335's...
striPPed	Date: May 22, 2004 @ 2:39 AM Fender strat Ibanez basses Les paul 67 j-45
vucky	Date: May 22, 2004 @ 1:02 PM Errr, Gibson & Ibanez?
bastardo23	Date: May 24, 2004 @ 12:17 PM Paul Reed Smith
striPPed	Date: May 24, 2004 @ 10:10 PM i had a PRS, good guitars as well.
tossom	Date: May 25, 2004 @ 1:37 PM Vigier
Intergalacti...	Date: May 25, 2004 @ 4:09 PM Hmm PRS and believe it or not Squire are often good guitars for shredding on, uh I'm into telecasters for the shape and the bluesy sound mind you I probably like the Les Paul shape the most, Les Paul's (real ones) are great for chord playin and I don't mind it for finger pickin but gimme a good old acoustic anyday the feel of the strings are much better (of course depending on what strings). So rounding up: A Les Paul Body acoustic strings (haha) PRS/Squire neck Tele's pick ups and for the sake of havin one hell of a head, a BCRich head All in all thats one ugly mother-fuckin guitar
Azimov	Date: May 26, 2004 @ 4:28 PM The best Guitars are simply Martin for acoustics and either PRS private stock (played one of these bad boys the other day) or gibson les pauls maybe even line 6 virax coz of the versatily, for eletric
Emoceon	Date: May 26, 2004 @ 6:23 PM i don't prefer brand...rather i try them out...if i like it than i like it......
Intergalacti...	Date: May 27, 2004 @ 6:31 AM Yeah I'm probably the same as emoceon
C-Side	Date: June 10, 2004 @ 4:45 PM Ibanez.
Traf	Date: June 11, 2004 @ 9:19 AM It's hard to tell these days between a lot of the makes especially when all the effects and stuff are added... So few players now just plug a guitar straight into an amp, but you can usually tell when it's a Gibo Les Paul or Fender Strat. But you can get good and bad ones of those... And then of course there's all the custum stuff available.. one off's.. I have one by a maker called Andy Crockett... It's just such a great guitar, but not of much value if I wanted to sell it, due to the fact most people want name gits... saying that, I just love Les Pauls Customs... can't help it...
furiousBall	Date: June 11, 2004 @ 9:24 AM PRS - I love mine.
GuitarnoiseNick	Date: June 11, 2004 @ 10:48 AM Breedlove Flyde Although my Gibson J-185EC is right up there.
GuitarnoiseNick	Date: June 11, 2004 @ 10:48 AM I meant Fylde
freddemillio	Date: June 12, 2004 @ 5:25 PM Travis Bean
sepidman	Date: June 22, 2004 @ 4:03 PM Am not much of a guitar player. I only learned to expand the possibilities in my writing. Give me a different feel to the music. I do own 3 guitars. The acoustic is a Takamine and both electrics are Washburn.
BedroomSessions	Date: June 23, 2004 @ 5:04 AM i'll go with fender strats all the way here. telecasters do it for me too
dicktruth	Date: June 23, 2004 @ 2:05 PM My Epiphone has never let me down I stuck a SD in there though, so it sounds alright like
Soul-Persona	Date: July 11, 2004 @ 4:24 AM JACKSON!!!!!!
vladb	Date: July 11, 2004 @ 8:13 PM fender jag-master... in any form the best ever use of a piece of wood
jof1029	Date: July 15, 2004 @ 12:40 AM i love my PRS, those things play brilliantly. Gibsons are sweet too, but ill go with PRS.
RandyEllefson	Date: July 19, 2004 @ 8:31 PM My fav is one of the guitars I built years ago, which you can hear on my songs: http://randyellefson.dmusic.com/ I also use an Alverez steel string acoustic, which has a great sound.
gothian	Date: July 26, 2004 @ 12:57 AM Ibanez
Smokindog	Date: July 27, 2004 @ 10:27 AM Fender strat.
brenthannah	Date: July 27, 2004 @ 6:59 PM I have an old Gretch 6122 (Country Gent). I keep threatening to trade it for a Nashville Tele, but everytime I play that thing I fall in love all over again. Sigh... if only I could afford both.
Bleachcry	Date: August 3, 2004 @ 1:42 AM I have a gibson les paul and an authentic fender 1961 duo sonic. I think it really depends on the sound. Punk, Raggae, Ska generally sound better on the fender, while hard rock, jazz, some artists like the beatles, or elvis definately sound better on the gibson. I can't pick my favorite of the two. I like both of these just as much.
Rico111	Date: August 4, 2004 @ 4:02 PM I have a 93' SRV Strat that through a Marshall 1970 Plexi Transition and a Hot rodded 1987 MKII Marshall. I can get that thick Gibson Santana Smooth and still get the Texas Blues Crunch as well. A few ABY switches and what not but mainly a Tube Screamer, Vox Wah, Digitec Delay.
imemine	Date: August 4, 2004 @ 5:09 PM Virtual----
torndownunit	Date: August 5, 2004 @ 4:35 AM Older model Deans from the late 70's and early 80's. I own an 'Elite' and it's the most amazing guitar I have ever played. Anyone else who tries it seems to think the same.
Ironman69	Date: August 28, 2004 @ 2:56 AM B.C. Rich Warlocks
Droquen	Date: August 30, 2004 @ 12:43 AM I only have a Squier Affinity Stratocaster...not much, but the only one i've played so...I guess it'd have to be my favourite :/
Wyrmdragora	Date: September 6, 2004 @ 12:26 PM I only tried Yamahas
victorsskull	Date: September 7, 2004 @ 12:15 PM any thing cheap
fanch-t	Date: September 10, 2004 @ 2:12 PM 60's or 70's era Silvertone Jaguire copy w/ lipstick pickups. $75 at a thrift store. It's the biggest piece of shit ever, but I love it...and my Fender Jagstang. As far as acoustics go, my friend has a Martin that might be the best sounding acoustic I've ever heard.
DaveHall	Date: September 10, 2004 @ 8:32 PM My favorite is a BC Rich neck-thru Mockingbird.(candy apple red) The only drag is it is harsh on the body playing while sitting down. Lotsa sharp points look good but dig in a bit.
quidprochad	Date: September 11, 2004 @ 1:58 PM I have a stock schecter c1 classic that blows away my les paul standard. kinda surprised me
joshmerfi	Date: September 18, 2004 @ 3:34 AM I like fenders, it's about all I've ever owned
iluminati	Date: September 19, 2004 @ 10:35 PM gibson les paul custom
8111	Date: September 24, 2004 @ 9:43 PM For electrics, Gibson, Hamer, B.C. Rich, Fender acoustic would be Gibson and Martin
jeddak	Date: September 29, 2004 @ 9:34 PM homemade!!!!! (Warmoth parts)
Guitargeek	Date: October 21, 2004 @ 6:25 AM I`m a fan of epiphone, just wish I could afford a gibson though.

Vickxxx	Date: November 7, 2004 @ 3:57 AM For acoustic I use a Gibson Hummingbird...... Electrics I use a Gibson 335 and Fender Strat.
Intergalacti...	Date: November 7, 2004 @ 4:08 PM I see nothin wrong wiht a perfectly traditional Fender
AdamsGod	Date: November 17, 2004 @ 8:59 PM my fav has got to be.. Ibanez Rg's.. cheap, but god, i love that sound!
mdearing	Date: November 19, 2004 @ 12:28 AM I play a Dean EVO Premium that was hand crafted in the Czech Republic. $1000 on line. Les Paul Quality for a fraction of the price. I'll put this guitar up against any Les Paul. Beautiful guitar that plays beautifully and sounds friggin awesome!! Strats are great and ya gotta love Les Pauls baby!!
Gizmogle	Date: December 19, 2004 @ 4:40 PM Gibson SG cos theyre easy to play and they look good!...but strats rock too, every has strats thou, it gets annoyin!
Lastsongsang	Date: December 31, 2004 @ 10:43 PM Fender Tele...I'm in love with mine.
GreatGooglyM...	Date: January 1, 2005 @ 5:30 AM I love Fender Strats and Ibanez is perfect for shredding.
Spott	Date: January 4, 2005 @ 3:34 PM My 1988 rosewood neck Fender Telecaster has been my main axe for the past 15 years. Although lately, I've been checking out the Ibanez guitars. My Holy Grail would be a Gibson SG.
gothian	Date: January 4, 2005 @ 7:52 PM Oh man..... I just hate telecasters and strats... I dunno why... no offence to anyone
8111	Date: January 5, 2005 @ 12:31 AM luv Strats and Teles (no prob Gothian) luv GIBSON love B.C. Rich (older models)
tsand19151	Date: January 5, 2005 @ 4:00 AM fender strats all the way.....
theforgotten	Date: January 7, 2005 @ 7:48 PM gibson les paulcustom(fav) for acoustic gibson for electric fender
theforgotten	Date: January 7, 2005 @ 7:50 PM oh and washburn
scottlaned	Date: January 17, 2005 @ 12:57 AM Always Fender American Stratocaster.
AngelinHeat	Date: January 25, 2005 @ 1:06 AM Fender American Strats.
Hlao-roo	Date: January 26, 2005 @ 12:05 PM I think strats are a bit over rated (I kinda agree with gothian) but they play well... I personally prefer Ibanez... Like a TM-71, or maybe a good Iceman. I LOVE my cheap Johnson Acoustic.. With Martin Strings it just SINGS!!! I know that the guitar is a low end one, but man, it has some voice to it, I tell ya!
Obitus05	Date: January 27, 2005 @ 6:42 PM A couple of my favorites are my black wolfgang, the Yamaha Pacifica 912J and the 905. Really great guitars. I have a really good Mexican Tele to. I have a emxico strat to that is a couple of years newer and that one sux compared to the tele. Really sweet sound in that one...
davieradio	Date: January 29, 2005 @ 8:34 AM I Use A Gibson Firebird vintage, they are expensive sound geat, look fantasic,but watch the necks they are delicate ,always use a suitable guitar stand the standard one does not give enought support and stability. Neil Cossar of Spyre ,just uploaded to Dmusic we are from Glasgow in the UK
SmallTree	Date: February 17, 2005 @ 1:27 AM Fender American Stratocaster
gothian	Date: February 17, 2005 @ 12:44 PM I bought an Ibanez S470 a couple of months ago, and I just installed a set of Seymour Duncan pickups in it and now this guitar is a Mad Man !!. The original pickups were really bad and cheap. The new ones are as follws: Bridge: Dimebucker center: Quarter Pound single Neck: Super Distortion
stratmanstl	Date: March 18, 2005 @ 4:55 PM I go back & forth between my Strat and Tele. Basically I'm a Fender guy. I also am very fond of my Takamine acoustic, which I've had for a long time.
guitarjunkie	Date: March 31, 2005 @ 11:51 AM gibson
Hanzi	Date: April 24, 2005 @ 8:49 PM Fender rules man! I have a 1964 Fender Mustang. Its awesome. But I really want a Burns Brian May Red Special!
Alexsy	Date: May 18, 2005 @ 11:17 PM i really hate strats, but i like other fender guitars like the jaguar / mustang ... i was kind of disappointed by the PRS custom 22 /24 i played the other day ... i like my PRS SE EG though! haha. i like the les paul sound ... but it's too "full" for me, sometimes. one of the coolest guitars i've played is a les paul double cutaway w/ 2 P-90 pickups ... the fat single-coils ... they just sound like nothing else ... in a very good way. in all, i prefer single-coil pups,
Bedouin	Date: May 19, 2005 @ 11:45 AM I own a few taylors and they serve me well. I also have a nice Alverez Y and old school Ovation. Martin and Guild's play nice too. but nothing beats a hand made guitar this is what I been looking at lately... http://www.benjaminguitars.co.uk/JOMC.htm
mdearing	Date: May 19, 2005 @ 1:32 PM I have a Dean EVO Premium that I just love.
EvilPicnic	Date: May 20, 2005 @ 4:48 AM Ha! And I'm stuck with my Squire Strat...
