Judging by the looks, Gibson >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Fenders. Even the Danelectro, from the other classic rock guitars, looks better than Fenders to me. Between the Fenders, though, I have a preference for Teles. They're so ugly that I kinda like them. Jimmy Page's hippie Tele, with flower designs on it, from before we turned to Gibson, is quite cool.
RE their qualities as music instruments, I don't have the slightest clue what are their pros and cons.

Telecasters are perfect for country music.
I play a white Strat and an Ibanez semi-hollow bodied most of the time.
Too poor for a Gibson, but the ones I played weren't that great.
I have my eye on a Parker Fly. Weighs less than a newborn baby and sounds amazing.

Parker is for pop music basically, the sound is pretty much plastic and a little thin, so it's good if that's what you want.
Gibson, only if you play blues like a master, they are excellent for bends and warm chords, but awful for heavy riffing... I have played with many Gibson in my life and I have to say, no comparisson, Ibanez is way better, but of course, I want to play heavy rock... I would want to buy a Parker, for a less heavy project, but that's only a dream... no money, no Parker...  |
Have you actually tried a Parker Fly? I have. What a mistake. I drool on myself just thinking about the tones and playability of that guitar.
I should note that Adrian Belew plays one.
Santa, if you're paying attention:
|
I barely even play guitar, but I would kill to have that. 
|
Sadly, I haven't, I do want to put my hands over a Fly, but there are none in Guatemala, and of course, I will buy an Ibanez just for the costs, but yes, one day you will buy it Rob, and I will visit you someday so I will try it, k? |
It's $3,000.
The day I can afford one, I will fly you and your girlfriend to my home and feed you steak and Samuel Adams.

you're mistaken, Parker necks definitely beat Ibanez necks. So do Jackson necks and what Bogg said my guitar teacher used to have a Parker Fly, one of the sexiest guitars I've ever used

I own Schecter C-1's (only cause being left handed and in Australia makes other choices about $5000000000) and I think their necks are similar to ESP/LTD's.
Agile Intrepids are where its at...

Schecters seem tight when you look at the specs, and the necks feel really good (especially the joint), but for some reason they just sound and feel a little off to me.

Well of course Parker Fly necks are going to be better than an Ibanez neck. That's the difference between a 600 dollar guitar and a 3000 dollar guitar.
I play a Schecter Damien Elite 8, which supposedly has a neck like a baseball bat but I find it to be pretty nice.
It could use a little longer scale length but otherwise it plays very nice.

Kevin, even the $400 model Parker used to have (the P-42, which, I am absolutely kicking myself for never having bought) had a better neck than any Ibanez

I think for my next amp (which won't be for years now) I will try and pick up one of those old Musicman combo amps

I've not tried their $400 model so I wouldn't know, I guess.

it was discontinued about a year back, I think
there was one at the store when I bought my Danelectro, but I was looking for more of a classic rock/blues guitar at the time so I didn't buy it D:
