Love strats and teles, the Ibanez' with the pickguards are sharp looking,
and the Iceman is very cool. I'd throw LPs on there, Ricks, Yamaha Ty
Tabors, Fender Jazzmasters, Gib Firebirds, 335, 355, 175s, the Schecter
Robert Smith model is cool looking, Mosrite Venture model, Nuno model
Washburns, especially the newer ones with pickguards, are nice, cheap
Intermarks...few...or many...others.

If you're into Destroyers, go see Terry at Guitars-N-Stuff in Mineral Point. Lat time I was there he had one...it was nice, too.

Yeah I like Ibanez and Fender.. Ibanez guitars are sweet.. they are like super strats... and yes that exploror type model is a Destroyer.. That is my favorite guitar of all time.. I once had the red one.. I am looking to get another one in the near future.. They quit making them.. They reissued them in '02 with the red model.. and a matching black one.. so I bought one... then my ex girlfriend dropped it one night and cracked the lacker right where the neck joins the body... it didnt do anything to the sturctural integrity of the guitar.. I just couldn't stand looking at it and knowing that it was her fault it was there... so I sold it... very dumb move on my part and I kick myself in the ass everyday for that one.. I know where there is a black model for sale .. so I am gonna try and pick it up soon!!..

When I first started messing with guitars.. I started out on a strat.. and you cannot go wrong with a strat.. they are work horses.. they can take a beating.. and I just recently bought a tele.. which i love.. I wish the pickups wern't so noisy.. I just roll the volume knob back till the noise is almost gone... I need a hot rail type, Mini bucker pickup for the bridge position.. although I dont wanna sacrifice tone.. I like the single coil tone..(the twang) I just dont like the noise... I really like the black and white double humbucker tele on the picture.. I need one of those.. I can get that same model for like 1,200 or something...

I want to start messing around with a Trem guitar again.. I love what you can do with a trem.. its just a shame that they are such a pain in the ass.. at least for me... For some reason.. i cant keep them perfect.. I tried asking people.. I took advice.. but no matter what I do.. the intonation comes out after I change the strings.. I had a pretty sweet ESP, I took it to Terry from Guitars and Stuff..(He does an amazing job btw) He set it up for me, and it was great... I changed the strings.. and it was different.. so i got rid of it.. I am very impatient when it comes to intonation.. it must be perfect down to the one hundredth.. or I freak out and start sellin guitars.. The strat I play the most.. I spent two weeks on the intonation because I am such a freak about it. I want every single chord to ring true.. I did a bang up job cause its still perfect, and I haven't touched it in 3 years.. its been thrown around.. thrown into the drums... stept on.. you name it... and the thing still ROCKS.. I love it... It's my favorite guitar.. so now after all the testing... I am nice to it..

Hey if you guys know of anyone that might be interested in getting rid of a Ibanez RG with a trem let me know

Yeah that Destroyer at Terry's is the one I am talking about getting.. if its still there I am gonna go pick it up.. I love Destroyers!!

I wish they would just start making them economy like they do RG's
I think a seafoam green one with white binding and black hardware would be sweet or a hot pink one with black binding and black hardware.. I seen a picture of a custom white one with black binding and hardware.. that would be sweet to have!!

There is only one complaint I have about the Destroyers.. The Bridge!
I hate those tune-o-matic (gibson style) bridges... They have made X series Destroyers with a regular strat bridge.. I need one like that..

But I will go get the one at Terry's for sure.. if its still up there
