This is what I heard: Gibson, Fender, Ibanez Argument

Uhh...I think I understand what you are asking for.

Gibson - Well, really the only flaw is what you listed. I guess the argument can be made that they are ridiculously heavy, but really that is just the Les Paul. I'm a proud owner of an SG and that thing is basically perfect aside from the baseball bat neck.

Fender - Twangy. Too much high end. Some people actually like this, though. You can always do what I did and put in some more aggressive pickups. Stick in some Lace Sensors and you can get a low end that rivals Gibson while keeping the high end (if you want it).

Ibanez - I just straight hate these guitars. The only person who plays one yet keeps my respect is Steve Vai...and even he thought they were a joke. They wanted him to play their guitars so he famously gave them a huge list of ridiculous demands which - to their credit - they actually met. Including a handle. Other than that, these guitars blow.
