Who the fuck would say that?
Anyways, for punk, you don't need an expensive guitar at all, any piece of shit will do. For metal, ESP, Jackson, Dean are some of the brands you wanna check out. Stay away from B.C. Rich (They are fucking garbage), Squire (Lower end of Fender). Schecter also makes really nice guitars for metal, the C-1 Hellraiser series is really nice, I own one with a floyd rose. I also own a Schecter C-1 Classic, and I like that one a lot more actually. The Seymour Duncan pickups have better tone, and the guitar has a more comfortable feel on the neck.
Just a joke I've heard a few times around. Mostly from guitar players.

I'm sure it sounds nice, but I've played a body style similar to that one, and I felt very uncomfortable with it.

Try going with LTDs from ESP, not only because they are very good quality for the price, but the stock pups are usually EMGs, which you will never get on another low-end guitar.
The EC-1000 has EMG pups.

How bout a Reverend? I'd check out the Sensi RT or Flatrock. Although this company is stereotypical for Rock-a-billy, this series shares a lot of tones with punk. The bodies are Korina which is what the original SG's were made from and the pickups are a bright and jangly. Run this through a VOX AC15 and it's insta-punk. There's a bass boost that Reverend puts on their guitars if you want it to sound more hi-fi but if you're going punk, you might not use it. Still, that guitar would be my choice.

EDIT: Also could use some amp advice. Favorite pedals/accessories?This post was edited by Ghost_Smoke on Mar 15 2011 01:48pm
