Greatest guitars ever made!

    Carvin is often overlooked, but make great guitars. http://www.carvin.com/products/guitar.php?ItemNumber=CT6M

I think both gibson and Fender is overpriced for that build quality. PRS is a great one-trick pony, and framus make some realy butifull guitars.

I guess my fav is an old korean strat-copy modded to my specs.
you can see it here

I would say one of those Rickenbacker twinnecks  bass\gitar

Electric full-scale ukulele by...Gibson or Fender?    

The acoustic Ovation has a very distinctive sound, to me it sounds very clear and warm.

Just picked up one of the new asian-made acoustic-electric breedloves, the AC25 SR Plus. See spes here:  http://www.breedloveguitars.com/products/guitars/atlas/ac25_sr_plus/

 

Fantastic value...Michael Hedges is finally within reach (sort of)...

IBANEZ RGT42 DX,
ESP KH2...

The best you can get is of course a custom guitar, e.g. by ESP or CAPARISON

My Fender Jazz Bass is perfect. Sure, everyone has one, but for an obvious reason: it's great. They play themselves and they've got the perfect range of sounds. Not too many options, not to few. Just right. It balances great, and it's one of the most comfortable basses to play when seated. The only
thing lacking was a two octave fingerboard, but there is now a Jazz Bass 24, with just that, a two octave fingerboard, so the problem is kind of solved.

I also have an old Ibanez ATK600. I found a new one for only about $300 dollars (list price on these were about $800-$900 in Sweden). It had been hanging in the store for ten years, hence the low price. A superb deal though, as the tone is very, very good, and the bass is fun to play. The over-all quality of the bass is excellent, something you would expect from a bass costing at least twice as much.

I enjoy fancier stuff like Warwicks, Ibanez Prestiges, Carvins and similair high end basses, but the Fender Jazz Bass will always be my favourite. Because you don't really need anything more than the Jazz Bass can give you. And even the top-of-the-line versions are affordable in comparison to the above mentioned brands. Fender invented the electric bass; they know how to do it right.

My very own Fender 84 swamp-ash stratocaster:)

the schecter C-1 is also a great guitar, and every thing with the PRS logo on it

and Fender had a model called Katana, but they dont make it anymore...it was the Fender version for flying V

If you want to confuse peaople nothing beats a Steinberger, I'm always getting comments along the lines of:

"Wheres the top bit?" or "Why is your guitar broken?"

I'll admit I don't have one of the original carbon fibre Steinbergers, instead I've only got a Steinberger Spirit which is made using normal woods.
