for me Fenders will always be the best. but... I do like
Takamine
Rickenbacker
Gretch
and
IBANEZ!
(sorry if I misspelled some of them, I only play Fenders)

Well said.
They made some great ones then, like my Iceman.
I was just playing it last night along with a Les Paul and Les Paul copy. the Les Paul & the Iceman take turns which one I like best--and then my Mustang noses in there too.

I like the rich metal sound of an IBANEZ.

but oh,my first electric guitar was a les paul copy made out of plywood,had a fake EMG-like pickups(I tried opening em and i saw single pickup on each ) and was bolt on.I don't really look much on the brand especially here in the philippines which has so many importers from korea and local luthiers that makes good guitars(say Im full of crap but im not kidding,$100 is all you need to get a very quality one)

I love the quality of Hamer guitars!

Mcimk8d that Duesenberg is a nice looking ax. I have never heard of them do they have a site. Where did you find that one. ---Red Paul I tried logging into guitar collectors forum like 8 times. It says if you cant login contact admin. When are they on as I see you post a lot there.

I'm a Strat guy but I was looking for something different in the Humbucking category and wasn't enamoured with Gibson. I played this guitar and fell in love with it. There are many smaller Luthiers in the US. Gadow is just one of them but I highly recommend you try one. Gadow guitars are made in Durham NC. This is a Custom setneck in Tiger eye finish. 25" scale 12" radius. Ignore the mess in the room.
