Your Favorite Brand of Guitar?

What brand is your favorite? I exclusively play Jackson and Charvel guitars. That's just my thing... What's yours?

I'm pretty new to Jacksons, but once I finally played one, I knew that was _the_ stuff...I absolutely love the feel of them...and we're talking bolt-on models here. =) I've never even seen a USA neck-thru model around in the local shops. =P I know of a used USA Rhoads though, but the guy wants $1400 for it... :/

Before "seeing the light", I was more into Gibsons...too bad most of them have logs for necks... =P The only thing that feels uncomfy about my Jackson is that it's too lightweight. I'm used to carrying the weight of an all-mahogany Flying V... =)

Ibanez, which wouldn't have been too hard to guess, but with a liking of BCRiches as well, but as I have more ibanez axes and play them I guess that answers the question really...

Nice axes

Brian Moore guitars. Though I also have an Ibanez USRG30 that I play from time to time.

I like Gibson okay, Some Ibanez. Fender action is too high for metal. I've picked up stock BC Rich's from el cheapo's to $2000 models and I find them totally clunky. The neck was huge and the action was horrible. I could get my fingers closer to stinky dog shit. I need to check into jackson and charvel a little more. I think I remember a friend a long time ago with a charvel. it seemed okay except it was always out of tune. I don't know if that was my friend or the guitar, though, heheheh!
