I found this.. a somewhat depressing list.. I own and play (all the time), a "the paul", an ES335, a strat, one of my three teles, an El Maya (and sold my les paul after that), a few hand-made, a couple self-made..
and a Givson blue diamond, made in india, bought new for 45 euros (with a hard case), and I have to say its possibly the most versatile. HSS and a zero-fret neck like the old EKOs..
The right guitar has to have the right neck, well seasoned and cured wood, straight grain, resonance, the right pickups and a weight that's good for you.. take yours, whatever you have, to a luthier and get it setup right.. what else... you have to use the right strings (usually not a "set").. you will then love and play your guitar.
as the comment above says the name and price don't really matter
which brand is best?
