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.

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!!

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. ;) ------------- http://www.humanism.org.uk/site/cms/contentChapterView.asp?chapter=309" rel="nofollow - Humanism |

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 ... ------------- https://awesomeprog.com/users/Mike" rel="nofollow">Recently listened to:

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. -------------  |

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. |

Especially the 4/12 string double-neck, eh...? Not a fan of the Fender sound, personally (except Gilmour and Trower, of course) - I much prefer the sound of a Gibson Les Paul or SG (overdriven, of course) through a valve Marshall amp. Then again, I don't play the guitar, so what do I know...? I do know what consitiutes bad guitar design, however...

I've tried Fenders and Gibsons and ESPs, but I'll never part with my Westone Thunder 1A. Even the 2A and later models seem somehow inferior - and it's a cheap Japanese guitar.
My bass is a Fender Katana. And I wouldn't part with that either  ------------- The important thing is not to stop questioning. |

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 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... |

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. |

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?"

PRS isn't bad, but I've begun to prefer custom crafters who deliver an instrument of better quality at the same price. Guys like Ed Reynolds, David Thomas McNaught, and even a factory direct custom crafter (hand crafted in a factory) like Carvin gives a better quality instrument than PRS. Smith really sold out when Guitar Center started carrying his guitars.
The thing that's nice about a PRS,DTM, or ER is that it has the quality tone of a Les Paul, but it's manageable enough to play on a show for as long as you need to. -------------

I've got an Ibanez S-something. It's been discontinued, I believe. It's got a really lightweight body and is quite thing, but has great tone! It's just excellent, but I wish it had 24 frets (it's only got 22), and a few frets are buzzy, but it's really easy to work around. Easily the best guitar I've ever played, or at least the most fitting to me. Also, I really think those Mayones Regius "Element" guitars that are being developed to Daniel Gildenlows specifications will destroy all else!!!------------- http://soundcloud.com/drewagler" rel="nofollow - My soundcloud.

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 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).

8-strings have an additional low string. |

^ and what's the tuning for 8 string guitars? I'd use something like E A E A D G B E ... but technically the first two strings would be bass strings, so this instrument would rather be a bass/guitar hybrid than a 8 string guitar. ------------- https://awesomeprog.com/users/Mike" rel="nofollow">Recently listened to:

I thought an 8 string had 4 pairs of strings, one tuned normally and one an octave higher, like a 12 string guitar. ------------- "The disgusting stink of a too-loud electric guitar.... Now, that's my idea of a good time." |

There are also 8-string basses built like 8-string guitars. What those are good for are beyond me though. |

I can't STAND that thing. But then again, there's very little about Prince that I CAN stand.... ------------- |

 This is my beautiful guitar. It is my favorite for some sounds/playing. I also like my '61 Gibson Melody Maker and I like strat's for extreme non-traditional tuning.
Warr guitars, or all touch-style guitars for that matter are also very cool but I have not yet played one. They're so versatile!

You're right about that. I wonder why it just goes to smoe flimsy logo. That's totally stupid. Oh, well. Crap happens. -------------
