PRS (http://www.prsguitars.com) (Paul Reed Smith) guitars are my ultimate favorite, up from that is Ibanez. :)

I snagged my first real git back in the mid sixties.
I've had an SG ever since. (Gibson for some of you)
There are some dynamite instruments out there. The quality of some (gibson) has gone down, imo, while some of the other brands have tightened up their quality.
I played a Gretch Duo Jet Saturday. What a fine instrument that was. Very nice, excellent responce. Solid body with a hollow chamber in it. (in my opinion, the hollow chamber is a selling gimmick, anyone who know, I'd like to hear your opinion) It was something only a fairy of my dreams could create.
But looks ain't everything.
My SG has a mahogany body, so does the Duo Jet.
My SG has a mahogany neck, so does the Duo Jet.
My SG weight about two pounds less, and if ya don't think that's important, wait till your an old geezer like me. Every hour on stage is a feat of indurance.
I can tweak my SG and amp, and come very close to the sound of the Duo Jet. But I like the sound of my SG, the feel as I caress the neck and ,,,,,,,,,,,,
My SG's action is equal to the Duo Jet's.
Those are the things that are important to me. If my SG were heart shaped and painted red and yellow and still felt, played and sounded like it does now, I'd probably be playing that funny looking guitar.
But I still like my SG over and above any other git I've ever handled.

i would have to say gibson, but i would also like to agree with that. Its all alright for Gibson to do that though because of the name they have created for themselves.

I said gibson, I love their sound. Plus all my heros either play S.G.s or Les Pauls with the exception of a few who play strats. So Fender would probably be second just because of the Strats.

ESP all the way!!!! I also like Ibanez though.......... :p

So you think it's ok for Gibson to sell guitars, they know to be inferior, for an inflated price, simply because they used to make great guitars :confused:

I would have to say my favorite brand is ESP, for 2 reasons.
1. I have one
2. Nicely equipt (electronics, pickups, etc...)for the price
I also like gibson, but i can't afford one. so actually i dont like them because of their high prices. :eek:

I'm a bit partial, as I'm about to become the owner of one, but I really do like Epiphones. I mean, I'll probably want to get new strings and pickups, but I'd rather drop a few hundred into strings and pups than to pay a few thousand more for a different name on the headstock...
...at my level of skill, I couldn't justify buying a Gibson, even if I won the lottery...which isn't to say that I wouldn't still do it, just that I wouldn't be able to justify it.

B.C. Rich! \m/
My guitar god is Kerry King (SLAYER), he only uses B.C. Rich guitars. But thats not the only reason why, I like the agressive/evil look they have.

Nice! We need more people like you here! ;)
I voted Fender (for the same reason as the Tongue), but it surprises me that Fender is more popular than Gibson...

wow. I'm surprised that Ibanez did better than Gobson and Fender. :eek:
I lik Gibson faded SGs. Nothing like a guitar that looks like it can't play at all. But then you hook it up, and it's a dream.

I love me a nice Les Paul, so I'm gonna go with Gibson. But I'm a big fan of ESPs and USA Riches. And those Dime tribute Deans are growing FAST on me. And the Washburn Evil Twin sigs.... damn, now I've got G.A.S.
