Wow this thread went very far... :D Very Nice call on Tawny Kitaen :D
Lots of great guitar suggestions...in essence the best of 80s guitar models... I'm very happy with my new charvel... and of course ibanez, jacksons (as an owner of both of therm, i started playing guitar on an ibanez, a GIO cheap model but solidly made, now i've given it to my sister who wants to learn some guitar playin : ) krammers (older models) are solid choices for such guitar!
