Ditto on the Carvin. Custom shop specs for factory prices. Amazing value.

Really?  :-o all along my impression of Carvin is $$$$. Is it because you have to buy it from the factory?
People think its crap becuase its not expensive ...their custom guitars are waaaaaaaaaaaayyy cheaper than Fender, Gibson, or any other overpriced brand of guitars out there.

Currently, i would say Schecter.

Kasi i have one, a schecter c-1 classic.  :-D hehehe..

Seriously, it's really a bang-for-the-buck guitar. A-1 components for an affordable price. Compared to my previous ibanez (sorry nutz.. :-D ), the c-1 classic is way ahead in terms of playability and sound, not to mention the sustain....

Where could you get a neck thru guitar with SD pups, grover tuners, tonepros bridge, gold hardware, intricate neck inlays, and a gorgeous finish for under 700$? (I mean, i might not be looking hard enough...but those features at that price range are kinda rare)

I voted for the Aria.

Yamaha comes a 2nd too close.  Yamahas are like Nissans in the depreciating world.

My first electric guitar was a cheap Yamaha RG120D.

I had no problems with its playability, neck, etc...except the its humbuckers hum.

I sold it 'cause I'm a Strat affeccionado.

i think i'll agree with doc rick... RJ and Fernandes are the most underrated guitars here, dito lang ako nakatagpo sa philmusic ng gumagamit ng fernandes, sa mga kilala kong gitarista, they'll go for branded, like fender, gibson, ibanez... siguro kasi karamihan ng gawa nila e copy of sorts, i like the new designs from fernandes.. sa RJ naman, quality guitars, mamimili ka lang talaga, tpos puro copy nga lang...

Arias are good too, pero konti din lang gumagamit..

i'd go for this guitars, quality for affordable prices..

For me Rj. I think the company has become very good in their trade. Ganda nung mga paint nila and the sound is satisfactory, specially with its price.

From the list I would say Yamaha. I've not been around to play the new RJs so I don't have a clue as to how they are made nowadays. One that I think should be on the list are Godin guitars. Excellent guitars but they never seem to impress people enough.

from your list, yamaha.. a lot of people actually respect rj naman eh..  :-)

from my list, there's SX, Godin, and a lot more..

i've got an SX strat that sits happily beside my American strat (Fender)..  i'm not gonna give it up..
and for a guitar that costs say at least 10 times cheaper than it's neighbor, that's something..

stock, it can blast any squier out there.. modded, it can sit happily beside my other guitars..  :evil:

btw, i think it's a '57 Strat copy.. ganda naman.. only flaw is the cheap bridge and tuners.. but it's still ten time cheaper..  :-D

I'd vote for fernandes! since mr. grecoslave introduced fernandes to his collection of guitars, i had the chance to play it and i instantly loved it :-D i was actually surprised when he told me that fernandes was not really popular among filipino guitarists... but then again, i think some people are already beginning to realize how great fernandes guitars really are... :-D

I'd have to say Nowadays, Jackson.. Jackson is still my favorite brand, but i know that there is a big difference between how they used to make Jacksons in the 80's and how they make them now. But in the past and present, Jackson is still the best guitar in my opinion.

Yamaha and RJ

RJ.

Kung pangit man yung tunog, pwede mo naman i-pacustomize. At hindi ka magiging guilty sa ginawa mo. Upgrade eh. Okay rin yung Fernandes.

Yamaha? Never tried it out. Siguro maganda. I tried some of their guitars. Most of them were good.
