I can't stand Schecter's, Ernie Ball's or Fender's. I cant even deal with the necks on any of them, I don't get why everyone talk's so highly of them. Like it's great that people have their guitar's they like but I just don't get why they get pushed as being really good guitar's When to me I'd take any Ibanez or Dean over a Schecter any day. I ould go on about everything about those three company's but Ill just mainly point out the neck's and the hype of them.
Actually I agree with you. They're not bad guitars, and I'll never say they're bad. But I've never gotten along with either one. Not sure what it is about JPs. I don't mind the sound of them, mind you. I don't exactly love it, but I get it. I also found them to be a bit uncomfortable for my tastes. Just overall not my thing. Ibanez on the other hand... no matter which one I try to play, I can never get past the neck. Granted, that only applies to Ibanez electrics, their acoustics I like. I think I might give them another chance in lieu of that 7-string Artcore, but we'll see.EBMM JP series: I understand, John Petrucci (I haven't cared for his playing since 6 degrees) uses it but the neck isn't comfortable, the aesthetics are boring, and the pickup combo is excessively compressed and bland compared to most things on the market. I have tried them and their quality is incredible I just can't like them. They are set up for just pushing out music there ,is no real connection to the instrument for me. It just feels like a stenograph instead of a paint brush. Then there is the marketing that revolves around yearly anniversary models with minimal changes, that send the fanboys' hearts all aflutter. It really does put a bitter taste in my mouth for the entire brand.
Ibanez: Just could never mesh with the necks and the more modern metal focus of most of the models. My first 7 was a 7420 and it was fun, I still have the guitar but that is as far into Ibanez as I will go.
I shall expect everyone at my doorstep with pitchforks and torches in due time.
Les Pauls
Almost any regular Ibanez with a few exceptions (too thin, too weak sounding, too sleek...it's a guitar not a knife)
I think the necks are very comfortable, actually, but that's just a personal preference. I bought a JP because they were the only production 7s on the market that had the specs I want (because, at the time, Parker was still saying that they would never make 7-strings), and I bought the JPXI specifically because of the ebony fretboard, stainless steel frets and thinner neck, none of which were available on the standard models. Why is variety such an awful thing?EBMM JP series: I understand, John Petrucci (I haven't cared for his playing since 6 degrees) uses it but the neck isn't comfortable, the aesthetics are boring, and the pickup combo is excessively compressed and bland compared to most things on the market.

I've never liked the Music Man headstock. It's so small and little, and not in proportion.
(guitar's play nice. But damn, I hate the headstock)
Starcasters. Those bastards have razor sharp fret ends sticking out, can't play in tune for any more than 10 minutes, and the pickups sound like the soundtrack to Deliverance.
Wow. Let's see...
1. Gibson Les Paul
2. Gibson SG
3. ALL Ibanez electrics
4. Fender Strat
5. Fender Jaguar
6. (I hate to say it, but) ESP Viper. I hate SGs, and Vipers are just uglier SGs.
7. Vs. All V shaped guitars ever.
8. Explorer. Every Explorer or EX style shape ever.
9. All B.C. Rich guitars. Wait. you said highly praised, right? Nevermind...
I was being sarcastic. The only guitar that I can't really bond with is my LTD-EC1000. It just feels like a cheap guitar to me, even though it's one of the higher end LTDs.Starcasters are not exactly what I would call "highly praised".

What guitars do you like? lol
they obviously need bigger planesSterling said they make them that way so that they'll fit in overheads on planes. I hate the way look too though.
+10000000000000 worlds ugliest guitar
Have you ACTUALLY seen/played any RG in real life? Not a skinny guitar at all. S series is different on the other hand.
