The SG double neck is one of the most beautiful guitars ever made, IMO

Bad taste rules the Earth... (the custom built one is far too
overloaded with kitsch details, while the Gibson is simple and stylish
in comparison)

I used to think I could only get the sound I like with Gibson-style guitars (humbuckers and glued necks) but, since getting a halfway decent amp (Marshall Valvestate 100w), I've come to appreciate Fenders more. The single coil sound has more musicality and definition to my ears.
Strats and teles would be the greatest guitars ever made apart from the positioning of the volume control on strats (I always accidentally turn the volume down as I play) and the edges of the bridge plate on vintage teles (I've taken the skin off my knuckles more than once).

I have 3 favourite guitars:
The Maton Mastersound MS2000 Deluxe, the Rickenbacker R-360 and the Gibson SG 61' Reissue.

This has to be one of the finest guitars ever built. The "Double Rainbow" built for John McLaughlin by Rex Bogue.

Long live Fender Jazz Basses!! And I am in the same situation, I want a Ric but I don't have money. But for 6-strings, we differ. I especially like Fender Stratocastors.

I've got to say ESP has the most guitar for the money, but if moneys not an option get a Warrior.

I'm a drummer, but one 'garage band' I was in (a LONG time ago) my friend played a three-pick-up Gibson Les Paul, and then fed it through a flanger. Now, that was a "bitchen" sound! (as we used to say in the 70s). Nowadays, I am partial to Ibanez electric guitars, as played by Vai, Satriani, Petrucci, and (no doubt) so many others....

Depends really. A few of my friends call Les Pauls - Les Dawsons. So clumsy and heavy. I am a classic strat and tele lover, although they can be limiting in some respects. I tried a John Petrucci Musicman - wow these guitars feel amazing.
Try James Tyler, or Tom Anderson guitars - these are the business especially if you do a lot of sessions. I don;t think I have found a guitar that does the lot yet. I suppose these guitars are probably the most versatile around. Parker Flys are great but are somewhat plasticy (carbon fibre fretboard).
Sod it, my guitar is the greatest rock guitar ever built (although it needs a fret dress) - 1989 Ibanez USA Custom Silver Snake. Check out www.myspace.com/owenrees82 to see a picture. Plays like a dream. Neck is similar to the John Petrucci Ibanez, and not as thin as the Steve Vai Jem. Its got some wear on the neck, and feels beautifully worn in.

I would think, for acoustic guitars, Taylor is really good because you get the quality you payed for.

If only I had the money... Rickenbacker 381v69
The guitar of my dreams. Oh, and even though I play a strat, Telecaster is my second favourite.
