Not true, he used Icemans up until this year, where he recorded and played live with a Gibson SG.

Anyway, the best guitars i've played so far are Deans, they're built like tanks and have great stock pickups. I found it a little difficult to get used to the Gibson style neck they use, but I now find it's thickness comfortable, something to grab onto, so to speak.

BC Rich guitars are also very good, the horror stories usually come from the "Signature special" series, Bronze, and to an extent Platinum series. I believe I got lucky with my Platinum Warlock, as it has a fixed bridge, and great tone. No fault there whatsoever.


Vish, you're aware that you can alter the action on guitars, right?

Hmmm, can't say i've listened to any of those bands but i'll get some of their music and come back to you on that one. As for saying that System sucks, System of a Down is an AWSOME band which you death metal-heads will never be able to understand!!!!

wtf was I the first who voted for jackson? I own both a bc rich beast nj and a jackson warrior wrmg, and seriously I think that the jackson is the better guitar! once I get my emg-81 mics on it it'll crush skulls!

He has ALWAYS recorded with SGs and SG Juniors. He's been thanking the Gibson guitar company since Album one, when he used a Fender HH strat. And SHavo always recorded with Gibson Thunderbirds, even when he used Ibanez BTB's on stage, you can tell by the sound on the album too, if you KNOW your instruments.

Something you overlooked/heard.

Geez dude, how do you know this stuff? This would explain why his giutar sounded so shit live when he used the Iceman! Anyway the Iceman design is still my favourite! But are you sure about the recording? How come i've never heard of this before?

I own every album, and they all have him thanking Gibson guitar company. Plus, the SG has a very distinctive sound, well, compared to the Iceman, the Iceman, has a brighter tone, because of the maple cap he has on his baritone. The SG is 100% Mahogany, which is a warmer tone. There's a big difference in sound. And Ibanez stock pickups sound like Garbage. Which is why Daron sounded like Garbage on stage. The Iceman has stage prescence, but not tonal equality with the SG. I only know so much shit with instruments because instrument are my life, and my brother's too lol, all we do is work on guitars, buy guitars and play guitars. There's so much difference between one instrument from the next, that eventually it's like telling a different colour apart.

I believe you when you say he recorded with an SG, and of course a mahogany bodied guitar sounds warmer, but there's no way you could specifically pick out an SG.

Fuck yeah, Dean ML. It fucking rocks like no other.

i voted Jackson...

I worked at a guitar store for a week, and i played/tuned epiphones, gibsons, ltds, ESPs, Jacksons and PRS guitars. The Jackson shat all over the others like there was no tomorrow. There was just a feel about them, nice neck shape, nice action, plus they look kickass. Can't go wrong with a Rhoads.

Where the fuck is BC Rich on that poll? I own a platnium warlock with EMG 81/85 pickups, and I think the sound is pretty good, but more importantly I think the guitar is really easy to play. I fucking love the fret action, the think neck, just about everything when it comes to BCR guitars.

Ran Guitars. (yes, I own one.)

i OWN A GIBSON 89 GIBSON EXPLORER .

and have tried countless guitars in my 21

years of guitar playing .....I just find , that

gibson gives you the widest arrangment of

tone , simply not possible with other guitars .

Fender strats also get nice tones as well .

I have tried esp's and have not been satisfied

with both sound and playability . Godin , a

canadian guitar company make some killer

axes - pricey !!! but nice ......B.c. rich for the

most part are shit ( unless you spend the money )

and get one at least in the 7-800 doll range ....then

they are usually playable even then , gibson blows them

away .... THeir is a b.c. rich ( bitch ) neck through body

n.j. classic series that lists for $1200 usd - fucken nice ....

cheaper b.c. riches play / sound like firewood and are good

for kindelling wood ...

gibson les pauls are awesome, or jacksons \m/ i agree with RDC bc rich sounds liek garbage... but they do look cool

i like the way gibsons play but i hate the way they sit, it like digs into my side when i play it, a little heavy on the back end, but never the less a good guitar.

Ibanez guitars are ok, necks are too skiny for me though

BC rich guitars suck if they are the low priced ones, but i played a kerry king signature which was bout 5000 and that thing was awsome

Jacksons arent bad either

But in my opinion DEAN OWNS ALL! great playing, good pickups (especially on dime guitars with the dimebucker) the floating/double locking floyd roses are fucking awsome, stays in tune great as well.

I despise Fender guitars. for looks I'd say B.C. Rich is fucking nice althought I've never played one. Jacksons are awesome too.
I have an Ibanez but prolly get a Zakk Wylde sig. Les Paul within the next year

ummmmmm ok ???

If i remember right Vader used to play with Ran

NAAA VADER USED A LIGHT SABER - RED ONE !

I vote Ibanez I have been playing for 20 years in that time I have played several makes and models Gibson flying V - ESP ltd -and Ibanez are my favorites.

Ibanez has my vote! I do like Dean's too and I love the LOOK of the B.C. Rich Warlock.

there is a canadian company making high end guitars

godin , they are simply one of the best quality axes out there .


i own a schecter diamond series strat ~ with dunceon design pickups

its amazing . I own a gibson exlporer 89 ~ thats nice , but for the money
