The music I like is mostly anime ones, let's say haruka kanata (or everything from asian kungfu generation), butterfly (amazing digimon first op), I algo like Queen (the only Non-anime music i use to listen to), pegasus phantasy, K-on, etc. So, which type of guitar do you think it would be better for me to get? ( I was thinking in Ibanez cause they use to have 2 single coils and 1 humbucker or a strato cause ppl say they are versatile... but... I'm asking ehre cause im not really sure and my guitar level is not high enough to go and play something I like at the music store to see if that's the sound.... I mean... I'd love to play butterfly but... as they say.. "Mada mada..." :P...
I wold reaaaaally like some opinions on this, plz ^^.
Thanks !
Well I know this is already one month old but I'll still express myself :P

Fender stratocaster and gibson les paul the most widely known, used and sold guitars I'd say.
You choose them according to your style, likings and love.

When I bought my second electric guitar, I was really into an American Stratocaster, I tested it over and over and its very clean and dry sound was really good, I loved it. But I realized I wanted something different when I played the SG and the Les Paul, I wanted the Les Paul warm and natural sound. It's all about what sounds good to you and what calls you most.

I own a valvetronix amp, an old korg pedal (like 10 or 15 years old) and a Gibson Les Paul Custom (Gary Moore 2009), and I am very happy with the sound it produces, even though I'd like to change my pickups for some seymour-duncan hot rodded set someday.

I also looked to Ibanez and other brands, but I didn't go very well with them.

You guys are the first to say it, when I started to play I only had problems with the F, B and sharp major chords... I think the D chord is only hard when transposed. I had an hard time to do the G using my pinky too...


In terms of guitarists, I respect Yngwie Malmsteen, Van Halen, John Petrucci, Paul Gilbert and Eric Johnson a lot.
