What's your favorite brand?

Drake Custom out of Nevada, Iowa. Have four, including two built for me.

From there it would have to be Fender, but all of my Fenders except one were built by Fujigen, so maybe it's FGN.

Right now it's Vaccaro...

No knock, Mikey... yet another I've never heard of... sheltered life, for sure...:D.

Actually took time to think about this, and I couldn't come up with one I liked better than the others...

... all of them... even the ones I've never heard of... a coworker and I were just talking about 'brand loyalty'... we both agreed if a company can make a well made and consistent product, while keeping the price of said product within reach of the masses...

... dilly, dilly! If they mess with either criteria, changes will most certainly occur on the other side of the fence... some good, some bad... I can think of one example, where Company A decided to pull one line of their product here in the USA, replacing it with something 'new and improved' for our consumption... yet, the original product is still produced and available overseas...

... my brand loyalty stops when my 'choice' has been decided by someone else.
