This one, because it always sounds great and anyone can play it with very little practice!

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 |

It is said to be the first Test-pressing of the corean release??

Tradition Les Paul clones (from China I think)
LTD EC-1000 (made in Korea)
Kramer aluminum necks (I have the 350G) - next best thing to owning a Travis Bean
Bill Lawrence Strats
Parker Fly
recent Ibanez hollow & semi-hollow bodies (AF75, etc) - amazing value for the price!

I dont play but I love how the Les Paul looks... and from what I hear.. how it sounds, too. If I COULD actually play, I'd get a Les Paul or steal Brian May's 'Red Special', heheh...

The acoustic Ovation has a very distinctive sound, to me it sounds very clear and warm.
I have asked many musicians about Fenders and Gibsons, remarkable that one says the Fender Stratocaster sounds powerful and fat and the other that the Gibson Les Paul sounds powerful and fat, very subjective!
Personally I love the Gibson E175D and Gibson ES345 sound by Steve Howe (Yessongs!) and Rory Gallagher on his Fender Stratocaster.

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)...

Just an update...It's a week & a half later, still loving the Breedlove!...However, since the purchase I've also tried out some "real" Breedloves (a couple of US-made Focus models = my guitar plus another 2 grand...). I don't think they're $2,000 better than the AC25, but you can definitely sense the quality & superior workmanship...Rumor has it that another dealer near me is getting in a couple of used Collings guitars soon...Hmmm, I could sell some of my less-important organs...

IBANEZ RGT42 DX,
ESP KH2... The best you can get is of course a custom guitar, e.g. by ESP or CAPARISON |

a single-coil won't ever sound really powerful and fat, except in combination with another one, forming a humbucker. |

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. Edited by Philéas - October 14 2006 at 10:19 |

The Manson Guitar Matt Belammy of the Muse uses is insane. It has chaos pad, fretless neck, chromed tuners, everything is top of the line. I would love to get one, but their hard to find and are in limited supply

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 Edited by Orez17 - June 30 2006 at 05:55 |

Warwicks are cool because they use exotic hardwords for the neck and fingerboards. I've always hated those MEC electronics though. They are just voiced way way too deep for my liking.
I myself like custom Carvins with the proper options. Good versitle active 18v electronics with an excellent koa/maple five piece neck.
Tobias makes a very cool bass too, especially the ones he himself made before Gibson bought him out. MTDs don't have nearly the same quality.
Dingwall's fanned fret basses are also very interesting.
As for guitars
I've always like ESP Ecilpse guitars.
Brian Moore also makes a good instrument.
I have a lifetime vendetta against Jackson.

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. |
