Ho ho ho. I vote beast.

I had to vote Beast, as my JEM is so far ahead of any other guitar I've tried playability-wise and sound-wise.  That set me about about £1600 though.

On the other hand, I also love my Gibson SG as a sling around, gigging guitar, adn that cost me about £300 second hand.

JEM's man.... they're soooo lush....

P.S #3 and again hoble lol

My first guitar ( 1984 ) was an SG copy. It was made by Avon under Rose Morris. Wasn't a bad guitar, but one day the treble pickup wasn't working, so I took the pickup apart, covers off etc, and what a suprise when I found there was only a single coil behind the cover, the case was half empty,ha ha, what a con. Wondered why it used to be noisy and squeal when it was working.

p.s I still voted budget. If the neck is good, wood is good, feels good to play, stick some decent pickups in and you are sorted.

I consider all my guitars bargains.

I got my ESP MV 300 for £250 when it was worth £900.
I got my Ibanez RGT 2020 for £800 when it was worth £1500.
I got my Ibanez Rg 7321 for £250 when it was worth £350.

And got my Engl......well for an undisclosed fee.....for now.

All of them being brand new as well.

i generally go for budget guitars, about £600 and then replace the pots and so on.when youve finished you can quite easily end up with something to rival an american model of twice the price.

[sambo]

you say pots and so on... but what else do you do? i want to upgrade anything thats possibly upgradable on my axe but im not sure whats actualyl worth replacing... i mean what makes a noticeable difference thats worth upgrading?
