If it can't be Jackson/Charvel

[creeduk]

Before I retire for the night I thought I would add this. If you couldn't have a Jackson or Charvel what makes do you dig next.

For me I would take in order:

1. ESP (KH-2 or Eclipse II)
2. Kramer Nightswan (lightning graphics) - Played one many times..should have bought it back in the day.
3. Washburn WI590 (or N4..for a super bargin price)

Not greedy and not a long list.

These day's I'd have to stick with strat styles - so I'd go for my Ibanez RG770DX. Short of that, another Ibanex RG or a Floyded Fender Strat or I really liked the Ibanez Satriani model I played recently.

Gibson SG

probably ibanez only cause of neck profile. anything else feels too thick.

latley i have been playing PRS A LOT.

[T@rgetDrone]

Ibanez, followed closely by my Gibby V. Some of the Washburn models feel very Jacksonesque to me. I had an X-50 I liked a lot. Still kicking myself in the ass for letting it go.

More direct, the short list (yes, i'm mostly low rent):

Ibanez, Gibson, Washburn, Epiphone, in that order.

I am a brand whore, always something different on the side.
I miss my gunslinger but the neck was toothin at the nut, my washburn x50 was a great player but no fret markers, the ibanezes that I have had are great players (but have tone dead), I have loved the few esp ltds that I have had, but I think I would either have to go with my Carvin or my Schecter American Series(mij and only available in Japan).

ibanez sabres and jems...d.m.

[Leo Chang]

If I am getting a guitar, and it can't be a USA Jackson... then I'll probably commission a custom guitar from one of the smaller, independent custom shops.

If production line only... then ESP / Schecter / Dean have quite a few that I like.

[Super_shredder]

a suhr or custom shop fender

[chrisolson]

LES PAUL. And my Fender Jim Root teles.

[KBRR]

ESP's --- And my ROOT Tele aswell

[goodwood]

I often pick things BEFORE Jackson/Charvel...
Gibson
Fender
Kramer
LTD
*not in that order*

I have a really nice white Charvel Model 1 but I just changed the saddles to graph tech so it sounds really bright. I think I'll take the Genesis Mr Brownie pickup out of it and put in the SD Distortion to try to balance that brightness out.

My own mutts.

[Sinistas]

Carvin.
