Guitar Brand of Choice?
Mine would definitely be Ibanez, I own a modified JS1000 and an RG350 deluxe, both badass guitars in my opinion. I like the feel and playability of an Ibanez probably above all, they're really well made and have nice tone too. What bout all you guys?

Nothing feels quite as nice as a Gibson to me. I'll take one over damn near anything else.

To each his own Darrell Hanneman, i find that BC Rich is kinda poorly made, and not that great to play on...kinda lacks in the tone department too, but that's just me

well you probably play those shit rich's off of the guitar center wall i expect,i have a few bc rich's that are made of Koa and Korina and your tellin me that doesnt have tone?
all i have are custom guitars,(except one) that i or had someone else make and use completely different exotic woods.
expensive as fuck but well worth the sound.
im sorry i dont like ibanez maple....hahah
and your also playing licensed floyd roses that take tone out of the axe
i use original Floyd Rose,which has a Heat treated plate for tone,and longer lasting.
and if i have the time,i install Kahler tremolo's in some of mine.

BTW, I don't like Ibanez, because it has got so... 'metallic' sound, it just doesn't fit for beautyfull black metal and gothic music.
I think the best wood for giutar is birch.

Some stuff, similiar to giutar, has annoying voice, often used in Hungarian folk music.

rosewood is what fretboards are made of.
and im looking at this pole,and ibanez doesnt deserve to be at the top.
i always felt that another company owned ibanez.
like gibson and epiphone.
ibanez are poorly made,sounds like shit,to much,stupid ass flat floyd roses,thats korns fault i read a magazine that head and gorilla said that there really 'hardcore' on stage and we jump around a lot.so are floyd roses get out of tune,so we told ibanez to make flat floyd roses.
yeah well look at dime he does 180's off of vinnies drum stand.
ibanez sucks.

I've never heard of anyone using Rosewood for an electric body, but quite a few acoustic guitar makers use it for backs/sides. Taylor comes to mind.

Personally, I dont' mind Ibanez's at all, some of them that I've played are really nice...
Hmm, maybe I was mistakenly thinking about the fretboard as opposed to the body...oh well, it happens  |

k fine ibanez is the greatest guitar ive ever played,its the best sounding guitar ever,the founder of ibanez is a genius,nothing beats ibanez,they make the best copy floyd roses,especially the flat ones that dont stay in tune,but who cares...
they have so much sustain with there bolt-on necks and di marzio pick ups,its the best sounding guitar ive ever played

Can't be everyone here. I for one know it isn't the case for me, since I like Gibson's better, but in my opinion, not all Ibanez's are bad to play on, so don't get all pissy because someone has a different opinion than your own.

Perhaps you could try some Ibanez therapy. Start with an S-classic series with a fixed bridge and work your way up to a K-7.  |

i would have to say that my favorite brand is Jackson. i like the feel, the playabillity, etc. i was at the music store one day and i compared the Jackson to an Ibanez, and the sales clerk was even telling me that he thought i would like Jackson better than Ibanez. he said you can tell just by playing it that the Jackson feel's new, and has better tone and shit. i tried the both out, and i just had to agree with him. i guess Ibanez is alright but i like Jackson alot better.

the beast is shit.trust me.
its made of the lightest wood,chesswood,which hs knots in it,even in the guitar,its very light,it sounds hollow,and it sounds like shit.
if you want the beast call up rich and order the real Deicide custom Beast,its totally different wood and has emg-81's its neck-thru...etc..
if anyone ever thinks of getting it from musicians friend,forget about it,youll regret it.
thats why they lowered the price from $800 to a web special of $350

which Dime model?
i hope not the 332 (the tune-o-matic) because that piece of shit is made of compressed wood.
the 333,is imported (and i fuckin hate imported axe's)...its alright its bolt-on (i hate that to!!) but other than that its ok
the *3* is the USA series!! yeahh!! its a set neck,original Floyd,flamed maple,rosewood fingerboard....i would tell your friend to get the 3 model.

I don't mind playing on the 333, but Dude's right. The 332 is a piece of shit...
I don't know about the ST though...anyone played a Stealth before?

Stealth's are built a little better,and It even sounds good and has the right amount of sustain even with the bolt-on neck.

I am all for Jackson guitars, although sometimes I find them a bit hard to play, like you have to fight the guitar to play it. Jacksons are excellent solo guitars. PRS guitars are also very nice.
Speaking of guitars, Guitar Center pisses me off. They have a whole gigantic wall full of useless fender guitars and a tiny section for the guitars that are worth playing. It would be nice if they carried more guitar and amplifier brands.

yeah, they always have more Fenders in music shops because older people like to buy them, and first-time players (i know too many people where their first guitar was a fender squier).
My guitar brand of choice? I like just about any guitar that has a double-locking tremelo, at least 22 frets, looks good, and of course sounds good, but i prefer Jacksons and Ibanezs.

I'm torn between Jackson and B.C. Rich.
I wish B.C. Rich would start mass producing King "V's".
That would be my guitar of choice!

Well, i only have one guitar, and it's a custom Samick.....licensed floyd rose bridge with 24 frets and a rosewood fingerboard. It's not my favorite kind, but i didn't have much money, plus it was used. But it plays very nicely, and it's easy to move along the fretboard.....just gotta get new pickups.
My favorite brands though, would probably be bc rich, jackson, and a few washburns.
The brand i HATE the most....Fender....the model.....stratocaster......cause everyone thinks it's the best, and it's total garbage.

Fender can fucking suck my ass through a crazy straw. I'm serious. Fenders, and strats in particular, have to be the most overpriced pieces of shit I've ever played in my life!
And just for anyone who thinks I'm talking out of my ass, I've played at least 6 different strats...

I just hate how every "popular" band these days are playing them.....like blink 182 and sum41 (i think).....and a few others.
The shape (personally) i think sucks total shit.....i prefer the step up, soloist type of shape, more metally i find. Or any crazy shape that washburn and bc rich can think of!

In my opinion, Fender Stratocasters are the best ones for thick groovy beat chords, punkish riffs, and neo-gothic (Scott Ayers ) solos. I use it for my grindcore band, and sometimes for my black/neo-gothic/gothic metal band for neo-gothic solos (but ONLY for neo-gothic solos, it isn't worths to do any black metal solos/riffs with it)

actually,i went to a guitar shop thursday and played the Malmsteen series fender,and it sounds way the hell better than any fucking alder body cheap ibanez.this didnt even have a floyd rose because it had sperztel tuners and it kicked ass,and just something to add,it looked way fuckng better than any ibanez.

You all are happy people, because I live in Czech rep. and there are no Guitar centers or USA made guitars, weve got only two shops with el guitars + im left-handed and to get a lefthanded guitar is fucking hard. The only affordable choice for me was an Ibanez, wich has 3 left handed el. models, i think. GRX20, RG470 and S470 series. grx is piece of shit and s470 was too expensive. So i own rg470 and i think it sounds fine, but only for power/speed metal. And it is superfast for solos, because of the wizard neck.

thats the only good thing that ibanez makes,is wizard necks.most of the time all the rg series necks fucking suck,there to round.i like bc rich or washburn flat necks.i think those are the best necks for solos.
but whats stupid about ibanez is,all there necks are bolt-on,dont they have the time to make good quality guitars? every mainstream trendster out there has ibanez and prs guitars,you think ibanez would have the money to make some new decent models that are made in usa.
but i guess they dont,oh well.i wont use them ever anyway.

What's the difference between the "dumbass neck" on the Ibanez's and the "dumbass neck" on a Gibson or Washburn?

Ok Wizard has, as far as i know two types of Wizard neck.
Its
6 string
Wizard I 25.5"wich is
Width at nut: 43mm
Thickness at 1st fret: 17mm
Fingerboard radius: 430mm
Thickness 12th fret: 20mm
Width at 12th fret: 56mm
and Wizard II 25.5"
Width at nut: 43 mm
Thickness at 1st fret: 19mm
Fingerboard radius: 400mm
Thickness 12th fret: 21mm
Width at 12th fret: 56mm
7 string
Wizard-7 27"
Width at nut: 48 mm
Thickness at 1st fret: 21.5mm
Fingerboard radius: 430mm
Thickness 12th fret: 23mm
Width at 12th fret: 65mm
Ibanez neck are maybe the thinnest in world and are superfast for soloing, thats why Steve Vai, Joe Satriani and I play them.
Is it enough ??

fuck you, Ras....all of you are up against me because i dont know what a wizard neck is!...thats fucked up
I can really care less about this "wizard" neck.Fuck,i can solo on a fender strat,it doesnt make a difference on how "thin" a neck is.
I dont know jack shit about Ibanez,because i dont like them,they suck,there cheaply made,and I dont care for them.
You picked the wrong guy to ask about jap guitars.because i dont play them.
and why do you have to bring my name up "oh well,uh,lets see what Morbid has to say about this"
what was that about?
are you just trying to be competitive on how much you know more than me?
thats pretty messed up man.

I think he just wanted to see how you'd reply to his message because you claimed to have known what Wizard necks are because you made fun of them.....so, usually, if someone makes fun of something, it is because they know what they are making fun of, and have reason to do it.....just making fun of stuff you don't even know is foolish and childlike.

I dont know the "exact measurements" like this Ras.But,i have played these so called thin necks at guitar center ect...
and they were to round.And hard to play.
So,yes,I do know what im making fun of.Just because I dont know the exact width and height and everything else,doesnt mean shit.

I didnt mean nothing against you "6MORBID6ANGEL6". I only wanted you to know, that if I say that Ibanez isnt as bad as you say, I say that because i know what im talking about. You may played it few times in Guitar Center, but i play it for a few years.
And whats this all about, good guitar player can play any guitar, even that fender strat can be good. Many people here say that Fender is overpriced piece of shit, but look on Jazz forum, they rate it as the most versatile guitar. It just a matter of opinion.

Throwing my 2c in..
I play, and have always plaid Ibanez... before all these nu-metal bands adopted it....
Sorta annoys be a bit that they all use Ibanez... but still.. IMO... great guitars.... sure .. they are much better... that cost a boat load more too... The neck just seems to fit me perfectly.... each to their own I say..

Paul Reed Smiths,Fenders, and GIbsons are the best for any type of music.I put an EMG 81 in my PRS and it rips!It has the fat neck like a Gibson and the lightness of a Fender. |

I agree with 6morbid6angel6, there is too much fuckin drop D shit going on now! I'm in a band and the other guitarist always tries to pull some drop D shit, man, it's like a disease or somptin. 
By the way I have an ESP Ltd KH502 (Kirk Hammett) signature series guitar...it's the PooPoo ..it has skulls & crossbones for the 12 fret markers.. METALLICA, SLAYER, and PANTERA ...RULE!!!!!!!!!!

Gibson for the scale length and fat sound. Jackson for the fast neck and small body size.  |

GO FOR THE GOTHIC!!!! FORGET FENDER GARBAGE!!!!!!!!
That SG gothic looks so awesome!!! Is it the one without inlays? God that'd be so cool to play!!! *extreme drooling*
Uh, however i've never played it......but Gibson is usually pretty good for sound......my buddy has an epiphone and it sounds pretty sweet. So i'd go with it, i trust Gibson. And if the guitar sounds as cool as it looks.....you might have one of the best sounding/looking guitars ever! (Well, apart from most of the BCRich series  )

dude, this thread hasn't been opened for 2 years. Your just desperate to pimp your axe now. Yes, everyone knows, you have a BC rich and have put an EMG 85 in it, we've read, we've read. I'm hoping i'm not the only smart one who notices the dates on the bottom of the posts.
