  1. My favorite guitar maker or company for electric guitars are Gibson and PRS. For acoustic it is Martin. The Reason PRS is one of my favorite electric guitars because it’s one of the easiest guitars to play, it is very light weight and excellent for traveling . Martin because just the sound that’s unique to its self. But the overall best guitar in the world are Gibson, because its tone for jazz and rock. It’s an all around versatile guitar.

  2. I gues my favorite Guitar Maker company would be Yamaha. Simple becuase thats the only brand I know by heart. So it has to be good right? I mean if people who aren't that into guitars, or who just started to get into them (like me) then they must be doin pretty well. And plus, I've seen there guitars and they are pretty darn amazing.

  3. Hm...I DON'T KNOW GUITAR MAKERS. Let's just say Yamaha for safe reference. Yeah, that's it, he's sick so he'll never know that I laze'd out on my blog. But in all seriousness, I've only heard of...2 of those guitar companies mentioned. But I've heard pretty good things from people about Yamaha. If Matt counts as "people". And by the way, don’t worry, we’re not giving Mr. Bruno a hard time…we’re giving Ms. Dawn a hard time XD I kid, I kid.

  4. I would say that if I had to pick my favorite guitar maker, it would be Taylor guitars. I really don't know that much about guitars and diferent guitar comapnies, but I have heard good things about Taylor guitars. They seem to be of good quality and are designed well. They are very pretty guitars. I wish I could have a guitar, but they cost too much.

  5. For acoustic guitars, my favorite brand would have to be Ovation. Their guitars have a sound all their own that seems to be clearer and fuller than any other that I’ve heard. When it comes to Electric guitars, I have to go with Agile. It’s not a well-known brand but even at the lower price levels they are comparable to Gibson guitars. As the all around best I, unfortunately, have to say that Gibson is the best. They have simply been around far too long to be beaten.

  6. Hmm, I’m not really sure what is my favorite guitar maker, I guess I don’t really have a favorite guitar maker because I really don’t know anything about guitars and what they should sound like and stuff. But if I were to take a guess I would have to say Gibson is a good guitar maker, I heard that it is a well made guitar and it’s the best maker of guitars.

  7. My favorite guitar company is the Yamaha company because they make quality guitars, amps etc. My favorite guitar though isn’t a Yamaha though. It is B.B. King’s guitar “Lucille”. A Gibson ES-355. It is really nice and as a beautiful sound. If I had a choice I would pick that guitar to be mine. So, I guess I’m actuall y not sure which one I like better, Gibson or Yamaha.
