UUmmm i would definately love to play the Gibson Flying V....though it ain't as good as the Gibson Les Pauls or the Fender Stratocastor, its looks are very attractive...wat say?

I freakin love Jacksons, they're just so perfect for my playing. Also Shecters are good secondary models (I played one in Guitar Center today). These guitars have good tone (especially the higher end models) and work great with Boss pedals. I really don't think I've ever played a Les Paul (not my style...) but I guess I really should. Gibsons? I fuckin love the SG. It's great for blues-classic rock, but not a good metal guitar (palm muting capabilities...) Fenders are funkay, If I had to use one, I wouldn't mind the trebly tone and branching styles. I have a Squier which is okay for now, but I want the Thrashing Metal ass Jackson to get me playing.

Mike right jackson are amazing guitars and they are affordable

Since I bought my Parker almost 10 years ago there is no guitar that I would ever want to play. It may be a bit pricey, but it is versitle, comfotable and has the cleanest tone I have ever heard.

RG's, all the way! I have an RG320 with Evolutions, and now I have an RG350 with 3 dimarzio hum-cancelling singles. I plan on expanding my collection further.

The other cool ibanez guitar out there is the ART100. It's on the lower-end, but it's still a decent instrument. The cool thing is, it's the first Les-Paul look-alike guitar Ibanez has made in a LOOONG time. And it's cheap!
