I don't like really sticky finishes. Gibson aren't my favourite brand, but I'd get a Gibson long before I get an Epiphone. I don't know what material they use for the clear-coats, but it sticks like crazy glue in my opinion.

I have an Epiphone ES335 dot, and I love the feel of the glossy neck. :scratch: Having said that - I don't sweat at all while I'm playing, so stickiness isn't likely to be a problem.

I'm mainly talking about the Les Pauls. The materials just really suck

but, to each his own i guess.

It's strange you don't sweat AT ALL. Be careful you don't combust :flame:

:lol: Well, I mean in relation to other guitarists that have played my guitars. I've got one mate who literally leaves a layer of grime and filth across the back of the neck and strings after he has finished murdering it.

Seymour Duncan Blackout's, because they are emg wannabes.

:squint: Superflous apostrophe glower. :squint:

I'd really like to A/B Blackouts and EMGs, simply because there seems to be such strong opions from both camps regarding which is "better."

What 'LordOVchaos' said.

So many faggots in my area bought 5150's purely because this one guy had one who was actually a solid player and after his band got known around the country every man and his emo-ass dog was gas'ing for a Peavey.

EMG's - Everyone goes through a phase of being on EMG's cock - I did, until I tried them. Not for me, but then I saw people in my 'old position' praising them and obviously they had never played through them.

I just hate general sheep behaviour and gear that induces it and doesn't live up to a hype AND is just not a very good piece of gear.

My girlfriend looooooves sticky finishes :cool:

Now people are doing the same for Blackouts. I've got both, well "had" blackouts, they didn't have enough umph for me, but my EMG 81-7 did :metal:
which explains why they're gone now :lol:

I hate everything Dean makes because of their raping of Dimebags corpse and so on. I don't think it's a particularly stupid reason, but a lot my friends do, so whatever.

I don't like any guitar that doesn't have 24 frets. Well, it's not that I don't like playing it but 22 frets just seems wrong to me. 24 frets, 2 octaves, it just works. But because of that irrational reasoning, I can't buy a lot of guitars :lol:

Telecasters because the headstocks look stupid.

Parkers because they look retarded.

Any Boss stompbox because I tried a DS1 and a Metal Zone and they both sounded like shit. Although I have a Boss GT6 :lol:

Oh, and 24 fret guitars that don't have a 24 fret inlay. Not looking at anyone, JACKSON.

I like ESPs but I wish they wouldn't keep using that abalone shit on the necks, headstocks and bodies. I played a purple EC1000 the other day and it was amazing but the abalone just made it look like crap.

IMO the only guitars the 1000 series abalone fits is the snow white models, looks gorgeous on those but crap on the rest.
