Default man this is just getting crazy

ive played about every type of electric guitar that is available in the 700-1000 dollar range...heres my opinions
STRATS: great guitars. i like especially the fender 50's strat. the neck is smooth, but the only thing about fenders is that the necks are too skinny for my taste. i like a fat neck. but they do sound really good. listen to the cream of clapton album for a good idea.

LES PAULS: this is what i own. i own a epiphone les paul standard and love it. wouldnt trade that guitar for anything. cant really tell a lot of difference between an epi and a gibson standard. epis are machine made and gibsons are handmade. that is the only difference that i know of. jimmy page payed a lespaul, so listen to some of zeppelins later stuff. the necks on these are a bit fatter than fenders. these are also a lot heavier than fenders, so build up some shoulder muscle.

these are about the only guitars i would recommend. everything else pretty much sucks. dont go with ibanez. they only make good basses. thats it. but be sure you get a good amp. a great guitar will sound awful if you get a really cheap amp. peavey makes good stuff, as well as fender, marshall, mesa boogie and vox. crate is decent, but the others are much better.

hope this has been helpful
