Maybe this thread will eventually help someone make a purchase.
For guitar, Ive been playing PRS Semi-Hollows. I like that they can sounds thick and full while clean but have a distinct crunch when distorted.
Even the SE series of the PRS Semi-Hollow body sounds great.
I never liked PRS. They feel clunky, too thick, or something. It's hard at times to describe. What I dislike about them the most though is that they all seem to have that "PRS" sound, it's unique but to me it's got something just not right about it, maybe it's the eq balance on the pups combined with the design and woods, I dunno. Reminds me of the tele tho, where you are cornered into a specific twang, that while it can sound beautiful, it also is impossible to escape.
I like Epiphones, I have a Dot (335 style) and used to play the LP Custom, both are really good guitars, but the neck profile is a little thin (string to string) while being the right thickness. Not perfect, but good.
Vintage Kramers (only the vintage, not the new gibson junk) have always been my go-to guitar- necks feel perfect to me, although I'm finding that the duncan pups (generally what is in most) can be limited in range.
Strats not for me, although I do like vintage fender guitars (prior to mid-70's). Especially the original jaguars and mustangs. And I liked them when nobody else did, in the 80's (before nirvana and grunge immortalized them).
I borrowed a Schecter from a friend and used it a couple of gigs last year and really liked the feel of it.. Some minor action adjustment and that thing would have been a really great player.
I'm now gassing for the GKG guitars (gary kramer, all custom) but they are pricey
What more could a man want from a guitar?
