ESP is my favorite as of July but there really is no best brand. It depends on taste.

well, gibson is just about the most versitile guitar maker. they have the v, which is made for shreding, and the explorer with is good for solo and backup. Then there is the Les paul, which is a god, and the sg, which is also a great shreder.
but whatever you do do not get a line 6 guitar, cuz the pickup brakes faster than the x box 360.

ESP can do all of that and so can many other brands. Gibson is a bit expensive for what it offers in my opinion aswell because I could just buy a guitar that feels good, plays the same, and has a very flexible sound for less than $1000. Line 6 guitar's aren't the greatest but comparing them to an XBox 360 ....... I'm sorry but if you treat your console like crap it won't be around for long.

True Gibson is very versatile in what it builds, but almost every single guitar it produces is overpriced. I think that if you are going to buy a guitar, making it something suited to what you play, not some jack-of-all-trades guitar. Those are only useful at the start, when you don't know what you want to play.

AshWufei headbanger29 Dude, you forgot Carvin. I played one of their lower cost guitars, and it beats out most ESP's or Gibsons. They're just contructed so amazingly that the sound is uncomparable. Just go to the Carvin website and look how they build them, you'll see why they're so great. A man after my own hear xD I havn't even been able to get my hands on a Carvin yet and I'm already drooling all over their Bolts and Bolt Pluses. Dude...you haven't lived yet...

The best guitar brand ever is Paul Reed Smith, it isn't one of the big big names but they are the best guitars ever, the sound is incredible. I can play metal, jazz, blues, whatever on a PRS. A bit expensive though!

And they're a pretty big name, but way too expensive.

What about B.C Rich? I've got a Bronze Warlock. It is on the cheaper side of the guitar spectrum, and its got good action. It's a good brand of guitar to start off with, but it's not the greatest in style. Practice on it, play in public with a Gibson or an Ibanez. (one last thing, B.C Rich's generally don't have whammy bars or ports (my term for a place to put the whammy bar) just to let you know) sweatdrop

As others have mentioned, it really depends on what kind of music you want to play.
Fenders - Great, versatile guitars usually meant for rock or blues. Not very good for Metal, but the STartocaster is a classic for a reason.
ESP - If you're playing Metal, get an ESP. This should not even be a question. Doubly true if you're playing in lower tunings. An ESP dropped to B and run through a Mesa is a beast, plain and simple.
PRS - Also very versatile. The actions have been a little high for my tastes, from the ones I've played. Also very expensive. But, Opeth play them, and they have a wide range of style. An option above Fender if you have the cash.
Gibson - I hate Gibson. I'll just say that now. Far too expensive for guitars that aren't really a master of any style. They have a good tone, sure, and the SG's are probably a step above the rest. Only get this if you're going straight rock and roll, because that's about the only thing Les Pauls are really good at.
Jackson - Good for faster types of Metal like Thrash. The necks tend to be thinner than those of ESP, so they handle standard tunings a little better, but not the down tuning as much.
Ibanez - I see a lot of people trying to play these as a fast Metal guitar, but they aren't really meant for that. Go with a Jackson for that style. They are, however, good for other styles of fast playing, much in the line of classical and virtuoso music.

Serphius Talidor Gibson - I hate Gibson. I'll just say that now. Far too expensive for guitars that aren't really a master of any style.

While I don't debate your hate on gibson, I should point out that they offer a ******** of versatility. Gibsons are used in blues, Jazz, rock, pop, and metal(if you don't believe me... try Jimmy Page, Eric Johnson, Zack Wilde, Slash and AC DC). They can generate a wide spectrum of sound, from the nice cleans to pumped up mesa metal. If you don't like their pickups, swap them out. It's worth it.
