For recording I think I must vote for a Gibson Les Paul. Any of the real ones that wiegh a ton. The sustain on these things is wonderfull and the tone of the thing is just awsome. I think the only inflexability in these guitars is in the electronics. The original PAF pickups of course have a very distinct sound and that may somewhat be limiting. BUT those things come out man! they can be replaced by any number of configurations of any number of pickups. In the end the true measure of a guitars sound is in the unamplified tone(and the Les Paul has an awesome one) since the electronics can change on a whim.
For jumping around on a stage though Id rather have a nice cool looking lightweight SG. For an acoustic probably something I've never played or even seen before like a Macafarri (spelling?) or some other exotic custum built thing. |

Fender Les Paul? I can't say a single guitar is best, because there are just too many styles of music and too many guitars to play them. My personal favorite, though, is a Fender Telecaster. |

The Gibson guitars sound great (I have a Nighthawk myself) but they're not very flexible. Depending on what kind of music you're playing, a Gibson (or PRS) may simply be too limiting. Of course it may also be ideal ...

I like the stratocaster sound but equiped with a Floyd-rose tremolo bar.

What type of guitars do you mean?
Accoustic? Electric? Semi-Accoustic? Steel? Bass? 6 string? 4 string? 12 string? Slide? Production models? One-off models? etc... Well my favorite production model 6 string electric is the strat! and my 1957 Japanese sunburst Squire strat. in particular. ;) |

the best guitar is all about personal taste and preferences, myself i find this one gets on with me best, many guitarists swear by the FENDER TELECASTER, it was one of the first solid bodied designs and they say "less is more" - whether it's the best one made is a matter of opinion BUT I LIKE IT!! |

Should generate LOTS of debate. I've always been partial to Gibson (SG & LP) for electrics & Ovation for acoustic - of course, I'm talking 70's & earlier. I have a friend who prefers the Fender Strat. But then he's a big Jimi fan so its OK.
