i'll play...
for me it's a tie between aria and fernandes. good looks, playability and most important of all, tone. yamaha, for me, is what i'd call a "safe" instrument. kasi even their low-end products are good sounding, not as excellent as the others, pero good na in itself. as for rj, yeah, you'd have to really look for the gems in their stuff. and i don't know anything about schecter, hehe.
