red special replica

dillon or burns, which is better?

Guild, but I guess your budget is not that big.
In that case, you're better off with a Burns.

The Burns is an 'official' signature guitar, made in collaboration with Brian himself. The Dillion is a non-official product...

And if you do have the cash for the Guild, I have a rarer than rare 1985 in black (allegedly one of five made) that I may be putting up on the market. Do I hear $3,000 US?

Oh, go for the Fender Am Strat, with the
2 coil and humbucker,gives you that Les Paul sound. Can't beat it for the price.

I would definately recomend Guild if your willing to spend.

i own a burns and it is the nicest guitar ive ever played.

oh and sharon IMHO i think fenders are horrible.dont get me wrong they are good quality guitars but i hate the shape of them all

Fender - best selling guitar in the USA.
But everyone is entitled to their opinion.
I own a music store and it is our best selling line.

ill give credit where its due. fenders are very popular guitars and good quality. but i prefer the les pauls and the red specials myself

Why buy a strat to sound like a Les Paul? IF you want a Les Paul sound, buy a Les Paul, surely?

well compare the price of gibsons and fenders fenders are generally cheaper

Fender may be the best selling guitar in the country. But it doesn't make it the best guitar. I do own a Strat. I am very happy w/ it. But I bought it because I can't afford a Les Paul, which is a far better made guitar than a Fender. If you line up 10 brand new American made Strats along side 10 brand new Les Pauls, & played them all. You would find all 10 Gibsons were perfect where as only 3-4 of the Strats would be the same.

I've owned Les Pauls and have had nothing but bad luck with them. Gibson stopped caring about quality control a long time ago.

As far as Red Special replicas go the Dillion isn't very good. I checked out a Burns that was nice.

I'll stick with my Tele for now :)
