I have a Fender Squier Stratocaster which was my first guitar at 10 years old, and as of a year ago a Gibson SG faded brown...Love both guitars equally, most would not like to admit they play a Squier or own one, but even the Squier can outperform the SG at times...I can play Stairway to Heaven just as beautifully on my Squier as the SG, and it's one of the most reliable guitars I've ever owned. As for what I play, mostly Led Zep/The Who/Springsteen/Santana/ZZ Top.
Also, props to J3ffr3y for the Buckethead video post, I've been to 3 of his concerts now and he blows me away every time.
