well...whats your favorit guitar body? and for what reason? and what guitar body do you HATE? and for what reason?

__________________

i'll go first. i say rhoads. why? coz it usually has a small body, looks stylish, its sharp enough to cut through someone you dont like...or an emo. and it makes reaching higher frets easier. though, 1 thing i hate about the guitar body is that classical position is the only way you can play it comfortably. i mean, say you just wanna pick up the guitar for 10 seconds, and dont feel like putting on the strap, while your standing...it just wont work. either your fretting hand is supporting the neck, or fretting. cant do either at the same time.

i also like warrior/razor/dime guitars coz you can play in the classic position, and cassual position. and they are usually light.

so i choose V

i dont really hate a paticular body, but starts i would never wanna go to again. i just cant sit with them in a classical position without having to adjust my face. the horn closer to the high E gets too close to my face.

i voted for other. i agree that rhoads style looks badass..but i've tried sitting down with one and it sucks. my favorite is probably the warrior. its aggressive looking and also is nice and easy to play while sitting.

Not enough choices, but my top 5:

BC Rich Ironbird - unsurpassed in comfort for me.
Gibson Explorer.
Superstrat eg: Late 80's early 90's Charvel.
BC Rich Mockingbird(70's style).
Gibson/Hamer style V.

I'd say either...
- a super strat shape e.g peavey v type, kramer nightswan
- or the bc rich ironbird shape. Its real comfortable, as soeru said

i like v's

It's all about the strats.

Strat is my favourite, at least a good super-Strat. Smart, simple, versatile. I also really like the body of Allan Holdsworth's Carvin Fatboy and the Nevborn Sleipner.

My favorite five guitar body shapes of all time:

1. Jackson Kelly
2. BC Rich Ironbird (fuck the haters)
3. Ibanez RG/Universe
4. Jackson Rhoads
5. BC Rich Virgin (they look much better in person)

__________________

the only strats i can sort of stand are the ibanez...umm...i think its called S320. the ones with the super thin body. but still, the horns piss me off. why cant they make strats without those fucked up horns? where will the strap button go then? notice how the V's buttons are behind the neckplate?

the dime guitars i think look aright. they could have been better had they been more pointy. and also, if you compare them to a warrior, the warrior looks complete coz of its extra wing to make it look like a big 'X' where has the dimes just look incomplete...anyone with me on that?

warlock (with a decent finish of course) and dime are my favorites, they just look awesome and the dime feels just massive

__________________

BC Rich Beasts and Dime Razors attract my attention the most.

__________________

I never really liked the Dime or Razorback shape, but I'll never look at a Warrior the same way again after what you said. I've always liked Warriors too, for being just evil as shit yet not totally ridiculous and over the top. Like this.

I like Strats the most. I feel that they are easier to play in every position(sitting down, guitar on left leg etc) than other guitar shapes.

Superstrats.

i agree...a bit too much for me.

LOL, you gotta love Tony with his fucking 4 Vader cabs and the "Crucifire". I wonder if it actually plays any well. I still don't know what's funnier about the other pic I put up, the guitar, or his face.That guitar looks like the next incarnation of the fucking Xenomorphs from the Alien movies. I think that's the guitar that Steve Vai has on the cover of his "Ultra Zone" album. And Mattias Eklundh kicks ass.

Superstrrat (jackson soloist shape) i voted for, just becasuse its best in terms of practicality and it doesnt look as if your trying to make a statement about yourself, although i nearly did put other as i just love ironbirds (i know im contradicting myself :P ) but yea im terms of general eas of playability id say the soloist shape, and then for looks id say ironbird, but also i hate les pauls, just because i think its sorta the stereotypical guitar, im not a fan.

__________________

les pauls i think are interesting....though i HATE the weight on those pieces of led guitars(i know they arnt made of led). but they do have an interesting chunky sound. and some of them, depending on pickups, are great for sustain

but fuck sustain. who needs it when you're into metal?

the reasons why i put the 3 options up there is for the following reasons:

strats: if it wasnt for them, then perhaps ibanez/jackson and tons of other guitars might not be around. plus, strats are prolly the most recognized gutiars out there. show a 2 year a picture of a strat, and he/she will say its a 'gee-taaaa-r'. but show em a warlock, and theyd cry....

les pauls: fender strats have a sister named gibson les paul...perhaps you've heard of em? if they didnt come around, perhaps mocking birds wont be around?

and V: again, its more recognized when comparing to a beast, warlock, ironbird etc. plus, those 3 guitars(strats,lesbians, and Vaginas) have been around since the 60's. the others are fairly new....

__________________

Show the members here a warlock and most of them would probably cry, too...

I love them all but I am always attached to King V's the first.

other:
Warrior for best comfort
GP for overall awesomeness (great tone, great playability, decent weight, good comfort)
mockingbird for looks.

I dont like:
les pauls/eclipses for weight, bad upper fret access
strats for lack of playability (body shape hurts my shoulder, even with forearm contour)
virgins for COMPLETE lack of balance
