its quite dificult for me to nail down who i think is the best...
best overall talent ?????
best metal Kirk Hamet overall... but current winner is Adrian Smith (iron maiden)
best shred/virtuoso Yngwie malmsteen, or Michael Angelo... Jason Becker
best blues overall ???
best lighning blues SRV
best acustic blues Lightnin Hopkins
best slide blues. R L Burnside
best progressive rock? poco de lucia
(i dont think he is human)
i think you may get the idea... but there are so many talented, i cant nail down who 'is' the best
im not looking for a standard 500$ les paul... if i wanted something without the soul of a guitar, id pick up a PRS for the science of guitar.
ive probobly played about 500 different guitars in my life, and i have quite an ear for the tone i look for in guitars. Fender is by far the most compfortable guitar, and is an amazing weapon in the arsenal of styles.
japanese ibenz guitars are good, but the something is lacking, and i have no want for locking nuts to over stress the tone.
something that has set me apart from other guitarists is my entirely costom mexican Fender Strat. scalloped neck, yngwie style neck pickup (duncon) tex mex mid, and seymore duncan dubble coil hotrail wired as a single coil for kicking your ass shred bridge pickup.
right now i have it apart for some electrical fine tuning, but when its back together, ill share some photos.
