There is no right or wrong answer for this...If you like a deeper sound with more bass behind it...def invest in a Les. If you like something a little more bright and twangy then invest in a Fender. If you are into punk I think either is a good choice. But all other musical variants are better suited for one or the other.

A Fender Stratocaster ELECTRIC GUITAR.  Why would anyone want to substitute this with a keyboard?  I can understand using keyboard instead of an orchestra, but replacing a guitar with a keyboard is sacrilege. If you can't play guitar and you need guitar in your recording, get a guitarist.

System. The guitarist is more innovative, and the singers are  much more accomplished, being trained in the art of opera and managing to bring into an alternative rock. Not to mention System is the only band to have ever produced 2 albums in one year that both hit #1 in the charts.

I'd say if you play metal, swap out the pickups in your les paul for I'd say go for steve vai' s pickups, they're awesome, perfect harmonics, great crunchy sound, yet still crisp, here is the link to the bridge http://www.musiciansfriend.com/product/DiMarzio-DP159-Evolution-Bridge-Pickup?sku=302960 and the link to the neck http://www.musiciansfriend.com/product/DiMarzio-DP158-Evolution-Neck-Pickup?sku=302950, I hope you like these. \np.s. if you like steve vai, these sound just like his

Yeah.....if you asked cause you're interested in purchasing a violin , Stradivarius is not on your radar - of course unless you are a very rich and well off and very connected "Art Type".  Now, if you're not looking for a centuries old piece of musical art and have a modest budget, the Fender co. (yes the same as the guitar maker) offers a few choices of a fine playable violin, and at a more reasonable price. There are other great companies too if you look, and none of them require taking a mortgage out on the mansion. LOL!

Both the Squire and the Silvertone are entry level guitars... not for those that have playing as long as you.\n\nSince you seem to dig the Strat look (the most copied guitar of all time), look around and find a Fender Stratocaster that is made in Japan or US. Avoid the Mexican and Chinese models.

Double neck Gibson S.G. \nSunburst 68 slim taper neck Les Paul with mini Humbuckers\nhe had a Danelectro/silvertone guitar that I've seen him play in clips.\nALl these guitars are notable due to the fact you see them referred to as "Jimmy Page" guitars/models when they are advertised on e-bay

Ibanez PF5 Dreadnought - got mine for $169 - good guitar - stays in tune well - nothing fancy and excellent for beginners

I say get a Fender Standard Strat because they are cheaper and to me they sound just as good.  But for like a hundred or so dollars more you could get the Buddy Guy Strat.  I love Buddy Guy by the way so that might have been biased.  haha...but definately consider the standard.

Fender and Gibson are classics, however gibsons are way expensive. Personally, I like shecter as well.\n\nIf this is your first electric guitar, i would go with a fender, ideally a Telecaster or stratocaster.

Rule #1 don't buy anything that you cant pick-up and play. Someone said look on eBay. That's foolish advise. Never buy a guitar that you cant physically examine. You just asking for trouble.\n\nMuch of your decision depends on how much money you are willing to spend. \n\nElectric - If you have the money buy a American made Fender or a Gibson. You will be pleased with the quality and the resale value will be better if you decide to sell it.\n\nAcoustic- Martin and high end Alvarez guitars have great sound.

That is a Korean made Epiphone Les Paul and really isn't worth a whole lot of money. If you are buying it used I wouldn't pay any more than $250.00 with a case. They really are a pretty decent guitar if you can pick it up cheap.

For what purpose? For a smooth jazzy sound, a nice hollow body with humbuckers is ideal, be it a gretsch or a gibson or whatever. For more of a twangy, sharp tone, go with a single-coil Fender or other electric. For a good all-around all purpose music machine, a Gibson Les Paul is probably your best bet. As far as brands, PRS and Gibson are the most respected names in the business.

For a beginners guitar, dont really matter what brand you buy really because that player will so awful no matter what =D. It's just that fender seems to be the most popular because its prevalently used. What you need to buy is a beginners package like this \nhttp://www.musiciansfriend.com/product/Squier-SE100-Electric-Pack?sku=511681\n\nBecause if you just buy an electric guitar itself, then you would have to buy a combo amp(you will need an amp to amplify your guitar) which is going to be like 80-150 + a instrument cable which is like 20 bucks + picks + a guitar tuner. If you buy one of these beginning packages you get the whole deal for a good price. You dont worry about pedals until later on. Only until the player is good enough then he should upgrade. It's much more effiecient that way. If you really want to save money they buy it online. They offer free shipping + no tax on the website that I listed above. You also save time because you won't have to look around much + drive your heavy guitar package back from the store. I learned all this from the hard way and just wished someone would of told me but hey im telling you so spread the help!
