a question for all the guitarists here just wondering what u guys play

oops didnt say what i play
i play a Dean

My name says it all, Ibanez all the way!

Fender Fender Fender.

Fender also. It's okay. It's a pretty cheap one but it does the trick, for now. Being the clutz I am, I've drop it several times and it doesn't even really show at all, very durable.

You mean which kind of guitar do I try to play, lol...it's an Ibanez. :)

Surprised no one picked gibson.

How can you people play fenders? I started out on one and say to hell with this step up from a plastic toy and got a real guitar. Fender's sound is dull to me, not really sharp even with 3 single coil pick ups but I guess its what you like.

Can't argue man. My friend rocks an Ibanez and it's probably the worst guitar ever next to chinese guitars. It's probably either:

1.) He dropped it abillion times
2.) I do not know the Ibanez secret

You might have just gotten a bad Fender. I don't personally like Ibanez's also, but each to their own.

The sound just sounded muffled with distortion and even more without it, just not crisp at all, I got a great guitar, hardly nothing beats the look, feel, and the crisp sound of an Ibanez Iceman! But Fender almost everyone of the guitars look different. I saw a $2000 Fender and it looked just like a cheap fender. When I go looking for a guitar first thing that gets me is the shape, then the weight, then the sound, and then the feel of the neck.

I might agree on some point with your last statement, and the "fender looks all different' statement.

But next time you go to the store, try the Fender Telecaster (sp?).
Feel the hotness.

I used to have a Fender. I have a Yamaha now.

I play my brothers acoustic Fender guitar, and a Epiphone archtop guitar. ;)

i have a paul reed smith se eg, it is supposed to be the lower end of the prs line but it feels and plays like a high end fender or whatever. it is extremely versatile in my opinion.

this summer i might hopefully be purchasing a fender 72 telecaster custom reissue, cant wait for it!

my electric is an epiphone sg and my acoustic is an ovation

i don't care for the sound of fender, but i gotta say, they make sick guitar straps! lol.
my guitar was handmade by a no-name guitar guy :))

Rouge acoustic and Schecter electric. I've also got a Washburn electric but I don't play it much since I got my Schecter, it's my baby. :)

And I'm going to upgrade my Rouge to a Takamine soon.

I play bass. I have a Hofner Icon series. Like the bass Paul MCartney has.

I have an Ibanez electric, Harmony acoustic, Dean Bass, Rouge acoustic, and am getting an Epiphone Les Paul Custom

i have 3 ibanez electrics: 1 seven-string and 2 sixes, a yamaha acoustic and a peavey 5-string bass.
fun stuff :icon_bigg

I have 2 Ibanez guitars (one I got for free), and an Ibanez bass. I am saving up my money for one of those Fender Jazzmasters like the one I have in my sig. I am not a huge Fender fan, I mean I have nothing against them, I just don't like them that much except for their "offset-waisted" guitars like the Jazzy or the Jaguar. The mellow chiming (if that makes sense) of the Jazzmasters are amazing. For a bass, my dream would be a Fender Bass VI.

They JUST released the new Fender Jazzmaster Classic Players series that are a whole 500 dollars cheaper than the 1962 Reissues, but they changed the pickups, the bridge position, the bridge itself, and they just don't sound the same. I was excited when I heard they were 800, but if they don't sound like a TRUE Jazzmaster, then I don't want to waste my time or money.

Epiphone les paul costom

Epiphone SG, and im getting and Ibanez Iceman in like a week

Godin Freeway Classic.


And I have a Yamaha with a really old floyd on it, and my first electric, Epi LP Special II.

Yamaha RBX170. :D

I love my axe.

Well I'd guess you play metal, so a Fender obviously isn't gonna be for you, dude, haha. Fenders are more for blues like.

I have a Washburn and a Gibson.

Ibanez FTW.

On a few of my recordings a very kind, and slightly foolish friend let me use his Depinto. But I dont actually play guitar at all. But its easily the best sounding guitar I have ever seen. They are a small manufacturer here in Philly.

Epiphone SG, and im getting and Ibanez Iceman in like a week

Yeah I play my iceman above all my other guitars even my Ibanez V Blade! Heres a sample of the sound you'll get, I have it hooked up to my Ibanez tube screamer pedal.

http://media.putfile.com/Vlo--Guitar

It has a great sound on highs and good sound on lows. I have mine tuned to B I think in this clip. The neck is smooth and the frets are always in the best place.

Charvel, I believe its a Model One.

Ibanez RG370 DX.

Really nice. Its very versatile thanks to its two humbuckers and one single coil pick ups and the floating tremelo. I can play anything on it and it sounds good even though Ibanez are seen as metal guitars. Pretty god value at £300 too. Hasn't broken once and theres hardly a scratch on it.

*que picture of guitar hero guitar*

im playing an LTD i dont have alot of expirence with diff brands of guitars

Lol, epiphone ftw! I thought it was a sucky off-brand gitter but its tied for the most votes. Thats so funny.

I own Les Pauls and Fenders and Teles, but lately, I've been playing my first custom homemade build, using Warmoth parts. I'll never buy a guitar off the rack again.

yeah right now im playing a Epiphone SG G-310 in Vintage White and its awesome. I've had it for 2 years and its still awesome

Okay...I have an alvarez acoustic, an eppiphone Les Paul, a white
ESP LTD Alexi-600, and bass wise I have a gibson Les Paul Double-Cut

I play the air guitar, but my brother plays an acoustic and a epiphone...

You can check him at... :)

a gibson sg special faded and an abilene acoustic

how can you beat fenders?
they are the perfect weight, sit perfectly in your lap, look great, sound great, feel great and are real versatile.
Thats why they havent changed since their first design.

tell hendrix he was playing a toy and sounded weak.
the ibanez feel like toys to me. they always have flat fret boards, light gage strings and thin wussy necks. It feels like your playing air and the sound is so stubborn. it's one sound only then you have to drown it in effects They might be good for shreading like satriani but if you wanna play a real guitar that puts up a bit of a fight, get a sixties strat with some .10 strings and put it through a decent amp.

I love the ibanez jazz guitars though. the 4 grand ones are a dream to play and feel great

you should add an airguitar option to the poll:tongue:

You must be playing a terrible Ibanez guitar if say their wimpy and nothing good like the V Blade, Iceman, or XPT700. Really Ibanez guitars can be used in any type of music, their mostly used in metal for the wizard 3 neck (flat necks give you more room to mover around cause who wants to fight to play guitar instead of being able to have their fingers flow like water and not like water crashing at the end of a waterfall? I know I don't). On an Ibanez all you need is medium strings (which come on the guitars factory stocked).

As for drowning it with effects, that can't be more of a lie.

All I used in that sample was a small wah and very little from my tube screamer. Mostly boosts on the high tones rather then the low ones. I do it again completely dry later. But yeah Hendrix used a fender cause well you can get them everywhere and cheap and they were mostly used in rock during his time unlike now since theres more companies out.

there's no way i'd get a XPT700 can you even sit down with it, arnt they like a star shape, for glam rockers? The icemans are quite nice. I'd probably get a gibson over it though but still, i like them. And the V Blade.., I'd either have to have allot of money or be a complete guitar wank to get one. Crap for chordal playing, overpriced and unversatile.
I know ibanez make some absolutely awesome guitars, the hollow bodie f hole ones are amazing. but I think in the strat price range the ibanez dont feel great.
I love to feel the neck, have a good weight balance and some thick strings.
Hendrixs awesome sound was achieved only with a strat. He used gibsons sometimes but his choice was the strat. And if he only used it because there was no choice and they were cheap, then why is a 60's L series strat worth 50,000 now and highly sorted after by professional players? They were exteamly well made, and now that we have heaps of choice of guitar brands, 80% are total crap.
Not that i like shredding/masterbating, but you can shred on a strat. Yngwie does.

Yes you can sit down with the 700, its pretty easy, you have to own or hold one in real life to experice it, if you can sit down with a double neck guitar you can sit down with any guitar.

Im sure the 60 Ls didn't cost that much back when they first came out, but to be honest you can't say 80% of the guitar brands are crap, they all have pros and cons and any guitar can be used in ANY type of music. But really to me fenders feel like crap, sound is dull as crap, and will always be crap no matter the price, model, signature model.

To me out of all the guitars I played Ibanez's wizard 3 necks are perfect along with the shape and tone.

yeah i would say about 80% are crap because shops are full of $200 guitars that all the newbies wanna buy and they look real good. There is a massive market in cheap crap guitars, like samick, legend, stag and legacy.

and the l series strats were quite expensive compared to what they are now (comparing with wages) the quality was so much better back then though.

And if you like the three necks then we are worlds apart (except that we love guitars).

I'm just not wowwed by all this new crap like triple humbuckers, floyd rose locking mechanisms that stuff up your tone and bazaaro shapes. Guitars have become too gimicky

I play a Washburn D10 S solid-top acoustic

Ibanez for both my acoustic and electric

Takamine G series

has it.

I play a gibson sg copy.

I think you might be proud of me for the next geetar i'm getting.

:)

Should have it by august.

IBANEZ
and i also have a hondo
they dont make it anymore
and it looks like a gibson les paul

I has a geetar

It's probably better than everyone else's in the whole entire world

Namely because by playing certain tunes, I can summon mystical monsters to do my bidding.

This is not a joke.




...

I have a fender. I never noticed any particular "THIS IS BETTER" types of things in guitars. I mean, you can't really say certain brands are factually better than others, can you?

That being said. I do like Gibson's, as well.

Gibson Les Paul.
