List of Guitar Brands

Stephen Rampur
With so many top names providing quality equipment to choose from, it ends up as the guitar that suits your specific style. Whatever playing level you're at, there's a guitar with your name on it.
Some reputed musicians may prefer Gibson, while others might favor Fender models. Therefore, it can in no way be directly claimed that one guitar brand is better than the other. Each brand has its own goodwill and reputation in the music industry. However, there are few brands which are used widely all over the world.
