Yeah Marco - everybody knows the Strat's the best of the lot for simple, standard QUALITY. But in my view it's just too ****ing NORMAL!

It varies in it's styles all the way from blues to Rock, to whatever, simply cos it's played through such a wide field.

I'm wondering whether the guy who asked the question originally is actually reading any of these, cos he's not replying... but the question I'd ask him would be "what type of music do you play?!"

If blues, Gibson's are the ones for you. Nothing beats a Les Paul for blues riffs... a little expensive I know, so maybe a Fender Jazzmaster would be worth looking at.

If ROCK, on the other hand...... there can be NOTHING AT ALL better than any of the types of Ibanez. Racy. Aggresive. Growling chords, to angelic melodies... look at the RG series. They range in quality, so you can handle the amount of cash quite easily.

What does everyone reckon on that one then?
