            Fender strats are always the way to go for quality, unless you want a flashy designed one

              uhm, judging your topic I would say: buy the cheapest and go practise a lot first.

              The guitar you want to buy, should depend on what kind of sound you want, what kind of music style you play, what kind of amplifier you use, your budget, etc, etc.

              your sound will be a combination of your guitar (body, pickups, snairs), your amplifier / head and even the cables you're using.

                I agree. It all depends on what kind of tone you are looking for......

                          My bands name is Miller, and we play music like Thursday, Thrice Alexis On Fire ect. We're a screamo, emo, hardcore band. So we're gonna have very technical crazy guitar, bass and drum parts.

                            The tone is much different than a strat. It's a little heavier

                                  I have bought a few guitars from this guy: http://www.chrisguitars.com he's always got a great assortment of stuff, and has no problem giving you a return if you don't like something you get from him. I check out his site every day to see whats new, sometimes a real gem pops up and I pounce on it.

                                      wanktank,

                                      first get your facts straight, Thursday isn't emo, screamo or hardcore (musicwise). For some real good emo/screamo listen to "Closure" or "Frail". I probably would label Thursday "indie" with a metal touch.

                                      second, that kind of music isn't really "technical", better take bands as Converge or Dillinger Escape Plan for influence there

                                      I would suggest you just go spitting through all your cd's and see what sound definitly makes you want to kill, try to find out the gear the guy's playing on and go for that sound .

                                      Ow, and I don't know if you guys consider yourself hardcore in any way, otherwise there isn't another option than to go for the Gibson SG.

                                          good advice...

                                          IMHO you can't beat a Gibson Les Paul... awesome sound. A friend of mine has severeal but the 1976 Les Paul Original has the sweetest sound !!

                                          and you need a decent stack to go with it...

                                                My brother plays guitar. Has about 4. He likes Fender.

                                                One of his guitars was given to him by my uncle. Its worth around £8000 its a 12 string guitar. Quite nice.

                                                  you should get this if you can afford it. My brother swears by this thing. Its one of the most expensive amps around. He got his last year!

                                                          first get your facts straight, Thursday isn't emo, screamo or hardcore (musicwise). For some real good emo/screamo listen to "Closure" or "Frail". I probably would label Thursday "indie" with a metal touch.
                                                          dude, thursday are an emo band.
                                                          i will check out those bands, because since i have gotten into this kinda music, its all i listen to.
                                                          thanks for the

                                                              Heh a few months ago I was gonna buy one.. however once I felt it .. it just wansnt right, the sound wasnt what I wanted. However same day.. I came upon an Ibanez.. omg I love them.

                                                              Cost almost the same as well [$800 :/]

I am a Les-Paul guy myself but over the years I have owned about every brand of guitar out there... they ALL got good points and bad ones.... Just have to find one that "FEELS" right to you!

                                                                                  Back in 92 I had the sweetest guitar ever, it was a neck-thru-body Charvel, I picked it up in a pawn shop for $350. Dont know what was so special about it but it was so easy to play and the sound was just perfect to me. Wish I had never sold it.

                                                                                  My second favorite was my Gibson studio model. It was heavy, but it sounded great.

                                                                                    so for now i stick with the gibson SG with the triple rectifier ... serious fucking noise ;)

Rage against the machine's frontman, Zack de la rocha, was as well fronting "Inside Out" (a legendary hardcore band) back in his days, ratm was one of the biggest "mainstream" bands that had it's roots and most of it's influences from hardcore, one of the reasons the band is extremely politcally outspoken.

                                                                                      dude, thursday are an emo band.

And although the term "emo" nowadays is often used as synonym for "indie" it isn't completly correct (some diehard youth crew kids I know also might say that emo/indie stuff isn't hardcore, but that's another discussion).

                                                                                      But hook me up on ICQ or something, bro.

I would have to say that both are decent guitars and good for beginers but if you really want something that will turn heads and get you a great tone go for a PRS. I can hit a note on my strat (which has a serymour duncan double humbucker in it) and hit the same not on my friends PRS and his note will sustain at least a good 30 seconds or more longer than mine. Better wood, better pickups, better craftmanship all make for a better guitar... But, after saying all that, what really makes your guitar sound good is you. So whatever you get, just play the hell out of it every second you can. Good luck!

Its like me saying "Wow that band is very punk" When you can't really say one band is one thing anymore. I'm sure you agree, you and all your knowledge of the scene. For sure ill hit you up on icq.

If i was to buy a new guitar i'd look into ESP for sure.
