Whats your favourite guitar maker?

My favorite guitar maker has varied over the years. When I first started playing I thought Fenders were great. But then I played Ibanez for a few years.

Right now I really like ESP guitars, I have the LTD Alexi Laiho signature model and I love it.

But if I had to pick a favorite I'd go with Gretsch, I've been on a big rockabilly and psychobilly kick for the last couple years, I bought a Gretsch guitar last year and I love it. Great sound, plays amazingly well, I can't say anything bad about it.
 
I really love Fender guitars. You'll get a LOT of axe for your money. They record well, they repair/modify easily and sound great on stage. Gibsons come in a close 2nd.. not as versatile as Fenders. I think my biggest hang up with Gibson products is they are just too fragile.. but for fat, saturated, & loud tone.. they are on top!
 
My favorite is Jackson. They make some really awesome guitars. The Warrior is one of the most comfortable guitars I've ever played. The balance is perfect, the neck flys, and the pickups are great.

The Jackson Soloist is also a favorite.
