What do you play? What's your price range?

well, once you pass a certain price, it really becomes preference. It's like asking a sports car enthusiast what's better, ferrari or porsche? let's pretend you have alot of money to blow on a guitar:
rock/blues pieces - gibson les paul, paul reed smith mccarty, pre-CBS fender strat, mosrite (original), gibson es-335 (it's not a jazz guitar like so many assume...semi-hollow, not hollow) the G&L line of guitars (these are awesome instruments - all the studio guys in NY use these - they fixed all the mistakes that the maker of Fenders made with the strat...made by same guy (leo fender) after he sold the co. to CBS - hence the pre-CBS thing!)....so many others!!!
Metal - ibanez js, yamaha frank gambale (amazing metal piece), paul reed smith,
jazz- gibson L5, D'Aquisto New Yorker, Gretsch, (all the guitars mentioned should be vintage and probably will be no less than 10-15,000. i played a D'Aquisto that was priced at 110,000.)
those are some pretty expensive, nice pieces. if you live in reality, though, there are other great options around the 500 dollar mark and even less, depending on what it is you want it for.
you can contact me if you are really into shopping. i just answered the 'best' question.

Gibson Les Paul is without contestant the highest quality guitar ever produced. However, each guitar player has different needs. If you are trying to learn how to play or have not had success with the one you are using, it could simply be the shape of the equipment. For example: a person with small hands will need a guitar with a small neck. In addition to physical size certain manufacturers can produce sounds uniqe to their instruments. A great illustration of this is in the blues. Fender makes a great guitar for playing the blues, but B.B. King plays with a Gibson! All in all you need to find one that first you can play with ease and then find one that produces the sound you desire.

That depends on the sound you like, the shape of the guitar, the look and the feel. I myself am a die hard Fender Stratocaster fan, but everyone's tastes are different. Would I turn down a Gibson Les Paul? No way. Do I hate the Flying V? No, I just don't like the idea of placing my forearm in between the "V" to play sitting down.
