Fender for me, if only 'cos they play better. So much easier to wield, much less cumbersome. They look so much nicer too and you can get more out of them tone wise.
I have heard differing reports on Mustangs, some love them, some think they are shit budget guitars. Jaguars always seem to get great reviews (except for the bridge). I really want to give a Mustang a try but no shops sell them left handed.
I believe you are right about Jag-Stangs too. Some people love them but a lot of people say they are shit. They sure do look good though.
Have you noticed how many new bands now are using Jaguars and Jazzmasters? There are loads. I sat watching MTV2 at my mate's flat the other week and about 6 bands in a row had a guitarist who used one. They are definately growing more popular. Probably 'cos of last years re-issue of the Jaguar.

Couldn't agree more  I used to watch MTV2 a few years back for all the genuine 'indie' bands that were featured on the channel. Now you can watch MTV2 and turn over to MTV and virtually see the same fuckin' thing with Britney Spears thrown in once in every once in a while. Oh, and Zane Lowe is an utter twat.
Back to guitars though, I am a Fender man!
Eletrics: I own a Fender Telecaster custom 72 RI (black/maple), a Fender Japanese Jaguar 62 RI (sunburst/rosewood), a Custom Telecaster FMT HH (black cherry burst/rosewood) a Tokai breezysound Telecaster (natural)
Acoustics: Fender DG 20, Crafter FX-550
The problem with the Jag is that the angle over the bridge is to shallow. You can buy a device (from Allparts) called a buzzstop to cure this. The other problem is the saddles, they have a desire to flip sometimes (but with a buzzstop fitted, they don't) just install Mustang saddles, they will not flip. Do not change the bridge!!

My guitars are The Gibson Les Paul Studio with the 490R & 498T Alnico humbuckers, in Wine Red *drools*
And the Fender Stratocaster Texas Special, I wonder if they have it in Candy Apple Red. Because my Telecaster Nashville Delux came in Candy Apple Red and looks nice, I was hoping that Strat could match it because it sounds so nice.

Very true, But he's very hot...
There was a tribute thing on to the MC5 the other day, and HE was on it! Like he knows anything about them.

Apparently Gibson Guitar Corp has just won a lawsuit that PRS infringes on the trademark of the Les Paul model or something. Hope that's true, PRS are overpriced junk for horrible metal players.

Overpriced? Maybe...then again, most quality guitars are, I would say.
But "junk"? Are you on fucking crack? Have you ever played a PRS? They are wonderful, wonderful guitars. Tastes vary, maybe its not your style or your tone choice, but they are far from junk, dude. |

I have to agree with ya PsychicTwin PRS is nice. I like the Santana model myself. You can really rip on them and sound so clean. But it'll take years before I can buy me one.

Played one, wasn't impressed, at least not when you consider the price tag.
