I prefer my carvin over all. Personally jacksons and fenders suck ass. I"ve been playing off and on now for about 11 years and a cover band here and there. B.C. Rich's aren't bad at all tho
My main guitar is my carvin V with EMG 81 and 89 and the backup (which I need to finsh painting.Started that 1.5 years ago. lol) is a Guild Star.. Never got the actual model name for it. That has EMG 81 and 60 in it. Also have a Schecter C7+ diamond series limited with whatever crap pickups that came in it. For an amp I have the Line 6 Vetta II
