Which type of guitar (acoustic, bass, electric, etc), is the best in:

  • Price
  • Sound
  • Style
  • Overall
  • What you own

There's no definitive best. There's quality brands, but at the top you just pick and choose which ones sound better.

Well I just recently bought a Fender Squire Stratocaster. I like it. And my Acoustic is a Silvertone. I don't know much about which guitar is the best but, I like the ones I own already.

This is an incredibly subjective question. Everybody has different ears that respond differently to sounds. For me? I love Gibson Les Pauls for electrics and Breedlove's for Acoustics. But thats just my personal opinion.

if your looking for style you cant go past a Fender Stratocaster or a Gibson Les Paul Les Paul's definitely have the best sound but are expensive

I perfer Epiphone Thunderbirds.

Most people find them too heavy and clunky, but thats what I like so much about them.

If you look on my profile you'll see a blog with my guitars on there. I currently own 9.

I have a Epiphone Les Paul, and I love it. Great sound for the price I got it for. For top of the line guitars, I'm myself partial to Gibson Les Paul's and Firebirds. But this really boils down to personal preference.

The best guitar varies from person to person, depending on what they need it for.

For me I do this: - Fender BG29 acoustic bass [standard tuning] = acoustic songs & light alternative - Epiphone Thunderbird IV [standard tuning] = alternative & rock & jazz & blues - Epiphone Gothic Thunderbird IV [Drop-C] = heavy metal - Epiphone Thunderbird Pro Custom 5-string [standard tuning] = heavy rock & metal & some blues

no such thing as a best type. out of the following, which do you think is the best of what I own? 72 Fender Telecaster Deluxe USA Fender Telecaster Limited edition USA Gibson SG CIJ Fender Mustang That's what I own for electrics..a lot of people would pick the Gibson, But I prefer my telecaster deluxe. It's really a matter of opinion, the type of music you play, etc..

Depends what music you play, and what you feel comfortable holding... I myself like Telecasters.
