Fav. non Jackson/Charvels...

[DK2M92]

Best sounding guitar I've ever heard besides an SL2, is a ESP Mirage Deluxe that my Dad owns. That thing is a monster, amazing feel, amazing tone, and even great clean sound if you dial her in just right. Just though I would see what you guys would say.

OK, and Carvin, Gibson, Steinberger are really nice too.

[DrDestruction]

Yeah. ESPs are some good guitars. I've got an ESP Tele-style guitar, and an LTD Strat-style guitar as well.

Another under-rated axe would be the Yamaha AES series guitars, especially the hollow-bodied AES-620HBs- those things are REALLY light, sustain like mad, and the necks on them are extra chunky, just the way I like 'em.

I also picked up an RKS Darkstar guitar the other day, which is turning into a rather interesting purchase. Nice, bright tone, lots of sustain, really light (much of the "body" consists of a plastic shell with aluminum trusses and stuff). The neck is a wee bit slim for my tastes, but it does the job adequately.

Hamer and Carvin.

I have Gibson, Fender, ESP, Aria.

I'd like to someday own a BC Rich (ST-III or gunslinger or Bich), an Ibanez (RG550). I pretty much like all guitars, which is why I have so many.

My favorite is

My 2004 Robin Machete custom job. Swamp ash, maple fretboard, Rio Grande pickups. Tone for days on end...Honorable mention goes to my 1984 Hamer Scarab.

Carvin

Hamer and PRS

[TreeFitty]

I've got a G&L ASAT hb, a USA-made mahogany body and neck with an ebony board, one humbucker and one single... and it's a keeper, for sure.

I like my Parker Fly Deluxe its pretty cool but just recently got a Rico jr. Jekyll which is honestly the most responsive and best sounding guitar I have ever played.

Laugh away if ya want, but I'm really liking my Agiles more and more lately, as well as my Squier strat.

Of course other than my two 80's import Charvels, these are the only guitars I own .

Would have to be my vintage Washburn and Fender USA tele.

I've tried to fall in love with Gibson, PRS and Fender strats, but just can't do it.

I dig the look of this ESP though:

Still love my 80's Kramers

[rjohnstone]

My cheap ass Austin AU755CS LP copy. Cost me under $200 on fleabay as a scratch and dent, but plays like it cost $2k.
I absolutely love the neck on this thing. Being 25.5 scale makes a huge difference too.
The only thing I had to do was swap the pickups and pots.
