I can't really chose becasue I have or have had a Fender, epiphone, Washburn, Yamaha, Ibanez. Currently I have a Epi LP Goth, two Strats, a Washburn BT (man love those and i don't who why) and Ibanez acoustic. i love them all but I've taken everyone apart with the exception of the acoustic and altered them in some way. Maiden go for that SG or G400 whatever it called. I considered buying that before I bought the LP. ivory is just not my color though
