Whats your favourite guitar maker?
- Thread starter Yngwie 4String
- Start date
Acoustic - Martin or Taylor.
Electric - Fender. Although I'm not a *huge* fan of their basses, I wouldn't even consider buying any other guitar. A Strat and a Tele are the holy duo, insofar as I am concerned.

I have a hardtail Strat with lace sensors that just sings, and a MIJ '52 Tele RI that has an awesome neck. Fender, I guess.
CF Martin, They have been building great guitars since the 1800's. They are responsible for such innovations as the neck joining the body at the 14th fret, the dreadnought body, the Orchestra body (OM). They have never had a real down period, and they have made more great guitars then probably any two other makers in History.
I've had Kramer guitar exclusively since about 2002 or so. I found one as a cheap alternative to a Floyd Rose Strat. I really liked how it felt, played, and sounded. I managed to get a bunch of unused necks and bodies from when the factory closed and have been assembling them slowly over the last couple of years.
Just gimme something with a Floyd Rose, Duncan pickups, and low low action.

As much as I love Fender and Gibson my next (first six string) guitar will be a Gretsch Syncromatic.

Wow, I think I just looked back 2 decades.

Eh, something about plain guitars just doesn't do it for me. I realize it's in style, but if my guitars got lost, I'd like to be able to pick 'em out.
I really like Musicman guitars. I like Les Paul shapes (Gibson, Epiphone, Ibanez, ESP, I don't care who makes it, I like the shape) as well as Explorer shapes. Also dig Fenders, especially telecasters lately.
My Son and I just got back from Sam Ash in Tampa. He was playing the Yngwie Strat with the scolloped fretboard. At first he was like ***??? 
After about a half hour he was really diggin' it. It's a strange looking neck indeed. He said if it came in 7 string he might consider it

I love my custom strat, duncan humbuckers, FR, three way on/off/on switches for each pickup, when the switches are in opposite directions the pickups are out of phase, when they are in the same direction they are in phase and a EMG preamp boost on a push/pull. It also looks beautiful.
I also really like my godin, nothing too special about it, but it has a fantastic neck and plays amazing.
My favorite guitars are Parker Flys, but I don't play enough guitar to justify dropping that much cash on a guitar.

Back in the 80's I liked Jackson, but I could never afford one the ones that I liked. I enjoyed Gibson, Fender, and Ibanez; but my favorite, FENDER STRAT.
I like some gibsons, such as the Gibson LP classic.. but I can REFUSE to dignify what they sell them for with a response. Many other guitars have tempted me but I keep coming back to my fender Strat. Only guitar I've played that I really really liked more then Fender strats and tele's were...... G&L strats and tele's, names of which I forget. lol
