Hi guys I opened this topic to determine " best " guitars in the world that we don't know.
Please write best 2 guitars you've played.
Customs and handbuilts are extremely welcome.So start writing them down. =)
As a start I didn't play very very good guitars but Michael Kelly's patriot video on youtube was awesome.


PS:You guys just write the guitars you've played i wrote different because in Turkey there aren't any good guitars. : (

I taught with a guy in Las Vegas who owned a nasty 1960's gold top with soapbars. It hadn't been refretted, all original everything. It practically played itself. He let me tear down a few houses with it but ultimately he sold it in Vintage Guitar Magazine for thousands. I really don't remember for how much but it was absurd. The description in the magazine had nothing to do with the guitar itself but it managed to offend women everywhere. Vintage Guitar Magazine received countless letters demanding that the seller be banned from future ads/sales in their magazine. Chill, I say, fore we pay millions of dollars annually to comedians/satirists to offend us. What's the dif?

OK, first, for me its either Jackson or Ibanez..., no use talking about any other brand...
OK, I really like the Jackson dinky Dk2, or XL with the harmonics feature: very comfortable neck, very thin, so its very good for fast solos or sweep solos. now, the Floyd isn't one of the best, but its not that bad...(has a good a firm, feel).
the guitar doesn't get out of tune that much, and even when it does, not to much...
Now for the sound: beautiful clean sound, when not using distortion the the single coil pickups are pretty nice, but this is a Jackson, its built for hardcore distortion, and its built well!!! the feedback on this guitar is just so clean youd think its a note, and if you turn the harmonics on' to the "mixed" position, you can create solos that sound so beautiful you'd swear someone else was playing...
Even the modal without the harmonics is awesome, it doesn't have the extra feature, but it still sounds very nice...

The best guitar I've ever played is a Joe satriani Ibanez made of basswood, inferno red paint job, It feels so great when playing it no wonder alot of the shredders use Ibanez. The one I played was 17 years old but it plays better with age and the neck and fret board are so easy to maneuver around so it is alot easier to play fast licks. It would cost you around £1000 (aka 2040 dollars) made in japan plus a Floyd rose bridge. So if you're into shred guitar defiantly buy one.

Best guitar I have played is a Parker Fly Deluxe - bought around 1996. It has 2 DiMarzio custom humbuckers, a hollow body with a Fishman Piezo Pickup, and a fiberglass neck.
The only drawback is you have to fight for sustain but it is a clean sounding acoustic/electric. It weighs about 3 lbs. and unlike Les Paul's wont hurt your shoulder during long sets. This is clean enough for classical and jazz - throw some distortion on it and it rips up Metal and hard rock. The most versatile guitar I have ever seen - I know t he Musicman Petrucci custom ripped a lto of these features off but I have yet to play it.

I have 2:

I played a PRS Hollowbody that was MINDBLOWING. I would have sold my soul to buy that guitar, but my soul is not worth 3k.

When I was in the college jazz band, I had to cover bass for some of the "small combos" that we split the band into. Not having a bass, I asked the professor if the college had one. He took me to an old storage room and dug out a VERY old case that said "fender". It was a suburst color, gold hardware, super neck, bird inlays, the works.

1972 J Bass Custom. I put on brand new strings and replaced the shot wiring (but was able to keep the pots and jack). I cleaned the neck and frets too just for good measure. It had an attack and sustain that sounded like a piano. It was AWESOME. Ash body, original pickups, maple neck with block black inlays, chrome hardware.

umm don't know why this happened, but the first body description goes with the PRS, and the second one with the bass.
