Which guitar is your favourite when it comes to looks?


My favourite is BC Rich's "The Beast" which I think,
if you havent already, should check out at http://www.bcrich.com
This must be the heaviest guitar of them all.

I guess its a guitar you can only love or hate, nothing in between.
But I love it, although I would never buy it since
you must be a REAL beast yourself to be equal
with the guitar.

Yeah the Beast is something else. I played one a t a guitar center once, but there was so much of the body that it got in the way if my playing. But it looks awesome.

My favorite guitar is the Ibanez JEM7VW. Putting my obsession with Vai aside, it really is the greatest guitar, in my opinion, that I have ever played. It just looks spectacular.

I think that the coolest guitar has to be the Parker series, especially the NiteFly models.

Also, I really like the Vox guitars that are sort of diamond shaped.
excuse me, but i must kiss the sky

Page's telecaster,

it's a beautiful thing
To improve technique and of course trying to keep all as clean as possible. I know my own limits and speed limits and so on I never play anything I'm not capable of. That wouldn't make any sense. After three years of playing I tried to play everything as fast as possible and that sounded, I would say, like shit, and I didn't realize that if I'd play bit slower things than I was capable of playing then everything would sound much better.

Santana's custom PRS model is one sweet piece of wood... I love what PRS has done with the flametop, and the head makes it look like it's going to spread its wings and fly
Unfortunately, I had to bye a car instead of this guitar (it was the same pricetag!!!)

But my fav is Trey Anastasio's Langueduc.

I own the B.C. Rich Beast and in my opinion its the best guitar I have ever played. It's very easy to handle, not very heavy, and the neck isn't too wide. It's just perfect. I love it.

Kick ass!!
You really own it?!
But isnt there some expectations on you, the player?
I mean the guitar is a monster, but dont you have to
look a bit like a monster yourself to match the guitar?
Sort of like Dimebag Darrel in Pantera.
I see him as a typical owner of the Beast, even though
he isnt one.

I'd say an ESP Stephen Carpenter signature series, all black, all black ebony fingerboard, no inlays, and flowing pearl binding around the edges, wow. I can't put down mine.
