Despite being a Fender traditionalist myself, I believe that Paul Reed Smith makes the finest looking production electric guitars...

I don't own one, but a D'Aquisto arch top is pure, pure class! Even the current "reissues" are classy as they are faithful to the look of the originals.

In terms of sound, I'm a big fan of both Gibson and Fender, but when it comes to looks...

I like the look of Stratocasters and I have 3, but I like playing my Les Paul more and I have one.

This not a guitar I own, but probably on the top of my list from a looks standpoint.

I like Ibanez also. I have a set of Ibanez Humbucking pickups in my '66 Martin GT-75 Electric (Semi hollowbody, double cutaway). I installed them around 1973 and they're terrific. I think they may call them ACH12, and ACH 2 nowadays. (Artcore).

Ibanez makes good loking and playing instruments.
