BC Rich vs Gibson vs Fender vs Ibanez vs Samick

obviously, gibson, fender and ibanez would surpass most samicks and B.C rich models... but theres no such thing as better... lets take 3 guitars these brands are most famed... a les paul, a strat, a rg,each guitar all high ended... a les paul cuts through with a warm dirty sound, a strat cuts through with its bright signature clean and the ibanez has a very 'distinct' tone that no other guitar can reproduce... an ibanez cannot play a clapton song(lets be fair and make everything stock) a les paul cannot play funk music and a fender cannot play a heavy-distorted metal song.. lets say the equalization panel is at 5... i mean sure you can(for all guitars), but it wont sound as good as it should... basically, each were designed for a purpose, so its best if you own'em all 
as for design, i'm sure there are alot of strat haters(fenders i'm refering too), but i'm sure there are lots more strat lovers... though i own a fender, i'm sad to say that the finishing SUCKS BIG TIME!!! a gibson has a good finish, superb tone(on lead) but a terrible tone on clean... an ibanez rocks... its value for money, got the looks and a floyd, and a nice slim neck... however, i dislike both ibanez and gibsons because they do not come with maple fretboards... and rosewood boards are a trouble to maintain, and floyd roses are a PAIN in the *** when restringing(because i'm an inexpierenced stringer to floyds) but the dive bombs you could do with floyds... fenders have lousy distorted tones(for stock), but when you change pickups, you lose the 'fender' sound... which is why i buy the guitar for... as for gibsons, everything is fine save for the weight and cleans...

I don't know how you concluded that but as far as I know, you have a highway 1, and satin finishes tend to wear out easier, so... :roll:
Fender's solid colours > All
FACT.
Ok, just playing around. :lol:

It IS a maple fingerboard.
His RG450MH has a maple fingerboard.
Besides, the discontinued RG1550 only has a maple fingerboard.

there's no one brand name that will outdo another, entirely. it's all a matter of wants & needs...
