i just put gibson at the top because thts the first guitar that comes into my head. i also like fenders but they are more of a blues guitar. ive never actually played a rickenbacker but ive heard they are sweet. can you get these good guitars in the sunshine coast easily because we may be moving there may next year but i am buying the epiphone les paul custom zakk wylde bullseye. it has a nice maple laquered neck and has emg hz's on it so its very powerful lol. but i want the active emgs which wack out a 20 decibel sound for solos lol.
