Ibanez guitars kick ass for the price. The only thing i hate about them, is that the necks are way too thin.

It's the best guitar Fender ever made. The only Fender that even can rival it for importance is the P-Bass believe it or not.

I could write a long list...
Strats - cosmetically boring and sound cliched
tube screamers - again, boring sound
any YAFF - it's not the only or best fuzz; we need some originality
marshall stacks - idk why
flangers - but i love phasers
floyd roses - again, idk why

And i love cascading distortion - crunchy amp, hit by a harmonic percolator, hit by a treble booster (I heart Albini)

And i love peavey - my '82 Bandit 65 is my favorite amp

More important than the one true guitar that started it all?

If you're referring to the Telecaster yes. The Telecaster didn't take over every genre of music basically. In fact for many years serious guitarists and even electric guitarists scoffed at it. The Strat was more universal in its appeal and even strats went through an "unhip" period somewhere in the early 60's where everybody was into Jags and Jazzmasters.

The P-Bass is really the instrument that changed the last 50 years of music. It was used in everything, the Fender P-Bass was so universal that on studio credits they used to note the electric bass as "Fender Bass" no matter what brand the bassists was actually using. The Fender Bass really changed the damn thing, its impact is way bigger than the Telecaster.

If I'm not mistakin', wasn't the P-bass also the first spanish-style bass guitar?

Not disputing the P-Bass, it is stupidly important in terms of what it brought to music. I just think that the Tele is more important than the Strat.

I thought all electrics were unpopular in the early 60s due to the folk boom?

Not so, Grasshopper. It was during that same time period that the big Surf/instrumental boom also occurred and Motown got off the ground. The folk boom also breathed a bit of new life into the electrified Chicago blues scene. Phil "Crazypants" Spector had his Wall of Sound up and running. The Brill Building. Even Jazz was alive and kicking ass. There was tons and tons of different strains of music going on of all stripes and flavors. Electric guitars were all over the place.

Oh wait. It was Gibsons that had a hard time in the early 60s with noone wanting Les Pauls.
