hyuuga sistahs for sharingan !
I've got the moves like Mama ♪
Until now, we've barely heard about Hanabi Hyuuga. Excluding the spinoff and the upcoming movie, she's only appeared once since shippuden in a dream sequence. So why are we making such a big deal about Hanabi?
Because she has so much potential as a character! Here we have a female character from a bloodline clan with some fascinating dynamics, and we never hear of her.
We could have seen her support Hinata and Neji as they shake the foundations of their clan and uproot an archaic and unfair system. We could watched from Hanabi's perspective, as Hinata and her generation become major players and take their villages future in their own hands. And there's the added complexity between them as Hanabi as the younger, talented sibling, who seems to be pushed as the preferred clan leader - except she doesn't seem anything but supportive towards her elder sister. Surely they would have been pitted against each other at some point. Maybe they had been raised knowing the one who didn't succeed their father would eventually be sealed too, except neither of them were willing to see the other sister suffer.
In a manga fixated on brothers, we could have seen a bond between sisters.
hakkesho asked:
wAIT MAYBE KISHI DIDN'T 4GET HANABI'S HAIR IS SHORT. WHAT IF HINATA DOESN'T KNOW HANABI HAS CUT HER HAIR BC SHE DIDN'T GET TO SEE HER WHEN SHE LEFT FOR THE WAR (OUT ON MISSION W/PAPA)? WHAT IF IT'S A CHANGE SHE ONLY GETS TO SEE AFTER THE WAR? WAT IF HANABI CUT HER HAIR IN MEMORY OF HER SIS & TO HONOR HER STRENGTH (SHE WANTS TO BE LIKE HER BIG SIS) ONCE SHE HEARD ABOUT HOW HARD HER COUSINS FOUGHT IN THEIR CHUNIN EXAMS. WAT IF HANABI ONLY STARTS WEARING NEJI'S OLD SHIRT ONCE SHE FINDS OUT HE DIED.
italeteller asked:
so, was the Hanabi special everything you hoped for?
It was exactly what I expected, but not everything I had hoped, if that makes sense! (I have a lot of hopes and even more questions lol.)
Obviously it was going to be focused on Hanabi and Hinata's relationship, and less about politics and the bigger outside issues of the Hyuuga clan (as cool as details on Hinata's kidnapping/Kumo/byakugan related things would be). I'm so happy we got to know Hanabi; how she's always wanted Hinata's attention, is an observer, was a bit sheltered from the branch house problems, how she loved her sister but took to her duty very seriously once she realised Hiashi abandoned Hinata etc. She was such a cutie and it's so great to see their relationship has grown stronger over time.
We also got a lot of inside into other characters like Hiashi? He genuinely seemed concerned about Hinata and wanted her not to lose - as difficult as her life would be trying to live up to their clan's expectations. I wonder if he agreed to that duel on the condition Hinata would not be sealed? We also got confirmation that Hinata going to the academy was out of the ordinary, and the use of the curse seal to teach Neji a lesson. Lots of little tidbits like that!
Since it showed a lot of events of Hanabi's life running parallel to Hinata's we kind of got a lot of flashbacks from previous episodes. I'm a little sad so much time was a recap of Hinata's confession as opposed to direct interaction between Hanabi and her sister. But there's a lot of new info and Hyuuga moments to fuel my love for this clan for three more lifetimes at least.
you probably know by now but i figured you would want to watch this next episode !!
The real reason why my Hiashi/Hizashi headcanons don't quite mix. It's from one of Hiasobi's theme set drabbles: Kairos (moment of destiny), (it's Nejihina just in case it doesn't float your boat) and I've never gotten it out of my head since.
Hyuuga Hiashi and Hizashi are not quite who you think they are. Before when they were young and carefree, they'd often swap places to fool all the adults. One wore the main house's kimono and accompanying haori, the other in the standard black Branch house wear. Being identical twins, no one was the wiser if 'Hiashi' wanted to pretend to be 'Hizashi' for a day.
It is only until their third birthday when the one the adults called 'Hizashi' would have to bear the caged bird seal. They didn't quite understand at the time, but Hizashi was scared and crying and didn't want to be parted from his brother. Since it was the older brother's duty to protect the younger, Hiashi tells Hizashi to swap clothes with him, and the younger finally relents. The two brothers are crying and have to be forcibly separated from each other. The ceremony is eventually performed on the boy wearing the black Branch house kimono, Hiashi.After that, one of them emerges with a seal on their forehead that prevents the two brothers from ever changing clothes and names again.
anonymous asked:
I don't know why, but sometimes it feels like Hiashi reproduced asexually. I mean, Hinata and Hanabi's mother has never been referenced in any sort of way in the manga or anime, minus ONE instance. Do you think Hiashi's past bitterness had to do with something concerning his wife also?
If any of the mothers aren't shown, I feel like Kishimoto intended for them to be one of two things: dead, or housewifed. (Or both, UNFORTUNATELY.) Because… it's Kishimoto. In the Hyuuga's case, I think both Neji and Hinata would have been a lot better off had they had their mothers been present during their later childhood - especially Hinata, who possessed such little self worth. If Lady Hyuuga had her say, I refuse to believe she'd let her children grow up feeling unloved. So it's probably fair to headcanon she was absent/dead sometime between giving birth to Hanabi and Hinata becoming a genin.
I like to imagine Hiashi is a man who is deeply flawed but had good intentions. Brought up as the eldest and heir, he did everything he was told, excelled in anything put in front of him, and learnt to accept his place. Basically he was the perfect son of the Hyuuga clan. He also was a staunch traditionalist. All the suffering between the branch and main houses he had been taught to accept, and he was never as daring (or had the same perspective) as his younger twin to challenge it. Hiashi envisioned leading a stable and respected clan and raising a family and it crumbles beneath him when his twin brother died.
Hiashi tries so hard to get it back together and fix things but goes about it in all the wrong ways, closing himself off from important people in his life and abandoning one daughter to focus on another. There's bitterness, but also regret. He's too busy looking at ghosts of his brother and wife to realise his nephew and daughters have surpassed them. It's not about him or his wife or Hizashi anymore, but their children who will be the ones to finally stop the cycle of suffering within their family.
It needs revising due to changing ideas, but once I wrote 1000+ words about Hinata and Hanabi's mother… which is probably more relevant to your interests! And some rambling about Hiashi x angst. goodness knows that man needs a rest.
I love how Hanabi's clothes seem to resemble the kimono Hinata wore on her third birthday, with the muted colours and flames along the bottom of her sleeves.
anonymous asked:
Don't worry ^-^! I always get ecstatic when I meet people other than myself who love team 8. Thank you for everything :"). Speaking of team 8, I wasn't provided with enough space in the ask box to completely disperse myself. I always liked the idea of Hinata secretly telling Shino & Kiba all the Hyuuga secrets behind her fathers back. Unbeknownst to her, her father already knows and doesn't mind it and actually encourages it. He considers Kiba & Shino honorary Hyuuga clan members
Sometimes I feel like Hinata herself isn't privy to the Hyuuga clan's most deepest secrets, let alone be able to share them with her teammates. Especially since it looks like she didn't become Hyuuga head. B( There's are things I bet only Hiashi and the Hyuuga elder are aware of but it'd be NEAT if Hinata took matters into her own hands and learned of them herself, in an effort to see positive change within her family.
I do think Hiashi has enough trust in her to be able to confide in others using her own discretion. If it's Hinata's teammates, he's aware they'd never do anything to betray or endanger her. Hiashi picks up on a lot more than his daughters probably realise.
But yes, I want to hope the Hyuuga clan has changed enough that Kiba and Shino are welcomed in whenever! (and Neji's teammates too. Now that would be incredible) I kind of want to see Kiba riding on Akamaru and landing on the roof directly above Hiashi's bedroom at godawful hours of the morning to howl at no one in particular, then cut to Hiashi Hyuuga just staring up at the ceiling wondering what he did to deserve this.

NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- There's a group of people who really love the U.S. health care system -- the fraudsters, scammers and organized criminal gangs who are bilking the system of as much as $100 billion a year.
Health care identity theft dominated all other crimes in the sector last year, according to Louis Saccoccio, executive director of the National Health Care Anti-Fraud Association (NHCAA), an advocacy group whose members include insurers, law enforcement and regulatory agencies.
The most common method of health care identity fraud occurs when someone with legitimate access, such as a hospital administrator or a doctor's assistant, sells patients' information to organized criminal groups.
Increasingly, criminal groups are hacking into digital medical records so that they can steal money from the $450 billion, 44-million-beneficiary Medicare system -- making the government, by far, the "single biggest victim" of health care fraud, according to Rob Montemorra, chief of the FBI's Health Care Fraud Unit.
All the stolen information includes medical insurance data and Social Security numbers, explained James Van Dyke, president of Javelin Strategy & Research, a research firm specializing in trends in security and fraud initiatives.
Van Dyke said that, with the information, the fraudster falsely bills Medicare and private insurers for drugs, equipment or treatment that were never prescribed.
With medical equipment, for example, fraudsters might order a wheelchair for someone who doesn't need it and bill Medicare for two or three times the cost, pocketing the money. For home health care, criminals profit by the false billing of insurers for care of people who never asked for it.
On a smaller scale, criminals also sell medical information in some communities to uninsured people who are desperate to get medical care.
To collect the money, the criminals set up shell billing companies that disappear as soon as there's any indication of an investigation, according to the FBI.
For patients, health care fraud can lead to tampering with your medical information, which could put your health at risk. Experts warn of serious risk of injury, or even death, if one's person's medical information is entered into another patient's record, because of potential misdiagnosis or incorrect treatment.
Health care fraud can also cost you money, either directly through bills that aren't yours or indirectly through time lost trying to resolve the breach.
The payoff for health care identity fraud is huge. In 2008, criminals pocketed more than $19,000 per incident of health care fraud -- four times the amount gained through overall ID theft, according to Javelin. The cost to the individual victim was nearly $1,200, more than double that of overall ID theft.
One key reason having Medicare information is a virtual "goldmine" for fraudsters, according to Montemorra, is the system's "pay and chase" system -- under the law, Medicare must send out payments within a very short time period.
He said private insurers are better at preventing fraud -- although not immune from it -- because they're so much smaller.
Montemorra said the process heightens the potential for fraud and other forms of abuse because the government is more often reacting to cases of abuse instead of preventing them before they happen.
Published reports late last year said about $47 billion were made in questionable Medicare payments.
"Since we all pay taxes, we are all our victims because the cost of this [crime] is coming out of our pockets," aid Montemorra.
Recognizing that to overhaul the health care system requires stopping the billions of dollars criminals are drawing as Medicare spending itself is soaring, the Obama administration created a multi-agency Medicare Fraud Task Force in 2009 to combat the problem.
Prime target areas for health care fraud are those with lots of Medicare recipients, such as Miami's elderly population, or those where a large chunk of the population is getting government aid, such as Detroit.
"Miami is the 'Ground Zero' for a lot of where these schemes begin, and they're spreading like cancer to California, Detroit and Houston," said FBI's Montemorra.
Montemorra and Javelin's Van Dyke are concerned that as the health care industry rushes to transition from paper records to a digital format, it could escalate incidents of frauds and scams in the short term.
President Obama has set a five-year deadline for all Americans to have electronic medical records, saying digital records will save billions by cutting waste and eliminating repeated tests and errors.
Providers are rushing to transition to digital to gain a windfall from the administration's financial incentives and avoid penalties, according to Van Dyke.
"Our concern is that as they put more patient records online, they are not necessarily doing it in the most secure way to prevent breaches," he said. "When you put a substantial amount of information online in a short period of time, it will lead to more open doors."

Chief executive Peter Burdon today said the group, embarrassed in recent years by stock problems and hot weather, should hit profit goals in September's annual results.
Grey skies are helping. Like-for-like sales in Thorntons stores in the second half to 26 June were up 2.9%, while including chocolate the group sells in stores such as Tesco, total sales rose 6.9% over the full year.
Burdon said Thorntons' 380 shops were 'cleaned out' over Easter. 'This is testament to the things we have been putting in over the last few years such as improving the range and the people we have,' he said.
Burdon joined four years ago and immediately had to try to clear £1.4m worth of unsold Easter eggs. He then unveiled a 40% fall in profits.
Thorntons now has more modern products, such as the Eden range for women, and is cutting costs. Profits this year should be £7.3m, up 14%. Thorntons' shares rose 2p to 167 1/2p.

another story of resurrection...
Perhaps not as widely known and certainly not of the epic proportions of the story of Christ, but I personally believe that the story of Patrick is every bit as poignant and revealing of the state of mankind (both the good and the bad) as that story told so many years ago...
A true miracle of our times. One for which I am ashamed of the human race as well as one for which I am so very grateful. Wishing you and all of yours a Blessed Easter ~ no matter what you celebrate!

Asian Americans and Seattle's civil rights history
In 1974, Seattle's 12th Avenue South Bridge was renamed and rededicated in the name of Dr. Jose P. Rizal, the martyred Filipino patriot and novelist. This report tells the story of how the bridge and nearby park came to be named for Rizal, and explores their meaning to several generations of Seattle's Filipino American community. The report includes images and documents, including a full reproduction of the book Rizal Park: Symbol of Filipino Identity.
Editor of the Japanese American Courier and founder of the Japanese American Citizens League (JACL), Jimmie Sakamoto began making an impact when he testified before a Congressional committee at age 17. This report details his life and assesses his role in the fight to achieve full citizenship.
In 1966, voters repealed the several Alien Land Laws that had made it illegal for Chinese, Japanese, and for a time Filipino immigrants to own land in Washington State. This essay examines first the campaigns to restrict land rights and then efforts to repeal Alien Land Laws in the 1950s ad 1960s.
In 1970, the Seattle Chapter of the Japanese American Citizens League changed course on a museum exhibit that was supposed to merely celebrate their community, and instead decided to also revisit the painful history of internment. The exhibit, "Pride and Shame", ended up traveling around the country, and has been credited with helping launch the internment redressmovement.
Led by chairman Albert Johnson, the House Committee on Immigration and Naturalization came to Seattle and Tacoma in July 1920 to hold hearings on the "Japanese question." The hearings sparked a fierce xenophobic crusade aimed at Japanese Americans and led directly to the 1924 federal law that banned immigration from Asian countries. Only 17 years old when he testified, James Sakamoto would later help start the Japanese American Citizens League and publish the Japanese American Courier.
On December 17th, 1944 U.S. Major General Henry C. Pratt announced that the federal government would officially end the exclusion order that prevented Japanese and Japanese-Americans from returning to the West Coast. The announcement set off a fiery debate over "resettlement," with some Seattle residents supporting the right of return, while others, including many public officials, tried to stop it.This essays explores both sides of the resettlement debate in Seattle.
Seattle was home to the most important Filipino-American led labor union, the Cannery Worker's and Farm Laborer's Union. Organized in 1933, the union represented "Alaskeros," the men who shipped out each spring to work in the Salmon canneries of Alaska. This essay narrates the dramatic early years of CWFLU which much later became Local 37 of the ILWU. The union was still in its infancy when two of the founders, President Virgil Duyungan and secretary Aurelio Simon, were murdered, but their deaths only solidified the members determination to make their organization survive and succeed.
Historians have concentrated on the early years of the Cannery Workers Union and on the two sets of assassinations that plagued the Filipino-American-led union, the murder of Duyungan and Simon in 1936 and the second dual assassination of union leaders Silme Domingo and Gene Viernes in 1981. This essay explores the critical middle period as the union negotiated the 1940s and 1950s, dealing with deportation threats, internal turmoil, but also consolidating and becoming a critical resource for Filipino-American communities on the West Coast.
Journalism became very important to Filipino American community development and politics and no one did more to establish the journalistic enterprise than Victorio Velasco, who is best known as the editor of the Seattle-based Filipino Forum (1928-1968). This paper looks at his early career as a student and journalist after coming to the US from the Phillipines in 1924.
In an era of American history marked by racial segregation and anti-immigrant attitudes, Washington was an anomaly: the only state in the west, and one of only eight nationwide, without laws banning racial intermarriage. When anti-miscegenation bills were introduced in both the 1935 and 1937 sessions of the Washington State Legislature, an effective and well-organized coalition led by the African American, Filipino, and Labor communities mobilized against the measure.
The Filipino Forum: Founding Years 1928-1930 by Mark Mabanag
For more than 40 years, from 1928 until 1969, The Filipino Forum served Filipinos in the Pacific Northwest. This essay looks at the early years of the newspaper.
The Internment of Japanese Americans as reported by Seattle Area Weekly Newspapers by Luke Colasurdo
This essay examines the sharply conflicting editorial positions of some of the smaller newspapers in the region: the Seattle Argus, West Seattle Herald, Bainbridge Review, Northwest Enterprise, and Japanese American Courier.
Philippine-American Chronicle, 1935-1936 by Rache Stotts-Johnson
The Philippine-American Chronicle was a biweekly newspaper published in Seattle from 1935 – 1936. With its motto was "For Truth Freedom and Justice We Champion the Cause of Labor," the paper supported the organizing drive of the Cannery Workers and Farm Laborers' Union Local No. 18257. General national and international news, local society news, poetry, wit and humor sections, and numerous advertisements were also a part of the paper.

Johnny Manziel still has another football game to play this season, but don't tell him that. The Cotton Bowl is apparently the least of his worries, as he has now entered full offseason mode, taking the links for a round of 18. His teeing partners: The Jonas Brothers. Yep, those Jonas Brothers.

The first ever freshman to win the Heisman Trophy has been making his rounds since bringing home the hardware. As Dr. Saturday points out:
Manziel hung out in Central Park with his girlfriend, did David Letterman's Top Ten and then went on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno (and, perhaps more notably, with actress Megan Fox). He went to a Rockets-Sixers game and did the Heisman pose with James Harden, then caused a stir when he sat courtside for a Mavs-Heat game – and he hammed it up with LeBron James afterward.
BREAKING: Manziel still has to play a bowl game against Oklahoma. Someone should tell him.

My Fedora server has been running ispconfig for a couple of years now, without any problems. Suddenly I had a new network provider, and both my external and internal IP's changed. I have managed to change most IP's in several config files on my server, but I am unable to log in to ISPConfig! The login screen shows up, but when I try to log in I just get this: Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Unknown MySQL server host 'fedora1' (2) in /home/admispconfig/ispconfig/lib/classes/ispconfig_db_mysql.lib.php on line 77 Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Unknown MySQL server host 'fedora1' (2) in /home/admispconfig/ispconfig/lib/classes/ispconfig_db_mysql.lib.php on line 77 Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/admispconfig/ispconfig/lib/classes/ispconfig_db_mysql.lib.php:77) in /home/admispconfig/ispconfig/web/login/login.php on line 60 I hope someone can help me out, I seem to have forgotten most of the ISPConfig (and Fedora..) stuff I used to know.
Thanks Till, but I already did. Must be somewhere else... Same error if I try to log on on the same box or from another. -s
I think so, looks OK, no IP's there and I didn't touch it. I guess I have screwed up the whole DNS config now, because I cannot ping anything any more. Maybe it is better to save my mail directories and do a fresh install with the latest fedora and ispconfig?
Have you tried your new provider's DNS servers in /etc/resolv.conf? It's possible that you that the old DNS servers don't answer anymore because they are owned by another provider.
Yes, I had changed that one. The problem was that I lost my old provider much sooner than planned, and then I just went ahead and changed all the IP's I could find. Stupid, I wasn't thinking. Now I have even managed to destroy the zone files for 192.168.1 (old internal) and 85.196.76 (old external) and I don't know how to set up correct files for 192.168.10 and 79.160.168. In the first place all this was handled by the ISPConfig admin utility, and it seems like Webmin handles this differently. Until I get ISPConfig admin running, I guess I am stuck. If I do a fresh install of the latest fedora/ISPConfig, what directories should I save from the current installation to have my mail survive? Or would an upgrade be able to fix things? Thanks again. -s

A fifth of the world's plant species are at risk of extinction, British researchers warned Tuesday in an unprecedented global census of the plant kingdom.
The survey by Britain's Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew, London, said 21 percent of species are under threat. The report, the first of its kind, is intended to become a global reference point for the study of plants.
The study, which estimates there are a total of 390,900 plants known to science, found farming to be the biggest extinction threat, representing 31 percent of the total risk to plants. Logging and the gathering of plants followed at 21.3 percent, with construction work attributing for 12.8 percent of the risk.
The threat of climate change and severe weather was estimated at making up 3.96 percent, although scientists said it may be too early to measure the long-term effects.
Other threats came from invasive species, dam-building and fires.
"There has never been a State of the World's Plants," said Kathy Willis, director of science at Kew, which has one of the world's largest plant collections in its sprawling greenhouses and gardens.
"Given how absolutely fundamental plants are for human wellbeing, for food, fuel, climate regulation, it's pretty important we know what's going on.
"Unless we look at this information — the knowledge gaps — and then do something about it, we are in a very perilous situation, if we ignore the thing that underpins all our human wellbeing," she warned.
The report said that some 1,771 areas of the world have been identified as "important plant areas" but very few have conservation protection measures in place.
It also said that 2,034 vascular plants — which exclude mosses and algae — were discovered last year alone, including an insect-eating sundew, a new type of onion and a giant slipper orchid.
Most new finds are in Australia, Brazil or China.
Some 17,810 plant species have a medical use, 5,538 are eaten, 3,649 become animal feed and 1,621 are used for fuels, the report said.
– Climate change impact –
The report will be published annually and Kew Gardens hopes it will allow for comparisons on preserving the world's plants.
"This has been a huge undertaking," said Steve Bachman, one of the report's authors.
"We engaged with more than 80 scientists to pull this together."
He said it was a "huge step forward, pulling together existing knowledge in a condensed and readable version so we can really spread the message about the importance of plants to a much wider audience".
But raising public awareness can be more complicated than warning about threats to African elephants or Bengal tigers.
"I do find it extraordinary we worry about the state of the world's birds but we don't worry about the state of the world's plants," Willis said.
The report stressed the importance of collecting samples of "crop wild relatives", cousins of plants used as common crops with traits that could make food plants more resilient to climate change and diseases.
Willis said it may take until 2030 before the impact of climate change can really be measured.
"For most of the major groups of plants we're talking about, it takes at least 10, 20, 30 years before the next generation starts to produce flowers and pollen," she said, reports AFP, London.

30 Years and Counting
Multifamily's largest fee management firm is in the mood to celebrate. Dallas-based Pinnacle, an American Management Services Co., held events at all of the company's locations this summer to celebrate the firm's 30th anniversary in the property management space. Parties included cakes, raffle drawings for gift cards, special employee recognitions, a Pinnacle trivia contest (see below), and a travel mug giveaway for each of the firm's employees. Phoenix-based multifamily developer and owner operator Alliance Residential has also been tooting its horn this year: The company celebrated its 10th anniversary in September.
In a Quick & Quirky first, Pinnacle has agreed to provide an additional travel mug prize to the first Q&Q reader who correctly answers an abbreviated Pinnacle trivia contest. Email your answers here. First 100% correct entry gets the prize!
1) What did Pinnacle CEO Stan Harrelson do before he teamed up with John Goodman?
2) How many years has Pinnacle held the top spot on the MFE Top 50 Managers list?

4) When was the company founded?
Scream Cities
Just in time for October monster madness, Santa Monica, Calif.-based multifamily ILS Rent.com released its list of the top 10 haunted cities in America. Not surprisingly, Salem, Mass., made the cut, as did Savannah, Ga.; New Orleans, La.; and San Francisco. San Antonio was highlighted for the many spirit sightings in the vicinity of the Alamo, while Chicago was noted for its haunted cemeteries, including Oak Woods cemetery, where 6,000 Confederate soldiers were buried during the Civil War. Last year, a Rent.com survey found that 11% of renters believe they have lived in a home inhabited by ghosts and another 69% of renters admitted that they would be perfectly willing to share space with some spirits exchange for a good deal on rent. Talk about creepy concessions.
Scam Man
Cedar Rapids, Iowa, landlord Robert Miell sent himself down the river, and the Feds finally caught up with him in an insurance scam case that involved investigators from the IRS, the U.S. Postal Service, and the Iowa Insurance Fraud Bureau. Miell ultimately pleaded guilty to 18 counts of mail fraud and two counts of perjury that spawned from his fraudulent reports to American Family Insurance of more than $336,000 in storm damage at 145 properties. U.S. District Court Judge Mark Bennett wasn't amused or even appeased by the plea, handing down the maximum sentence earlier this week: 20 years in the can for Miell, where he'll apparently get a handle on in-unit obsolescence for real this time.

Soap & Glory Scrub 'em and Leave 'em Body Buff Reviews
I bought Soap & Glory scrub 'em and leave 'em a couple months ago online. I felt like I needed a new bath product and decided to take a chance on it. I have a plethora of cleansing /foaming gels so I was excited to pick out a new scrub. This product is a dream come true, hands down the best scrub I've ever purchased, it feels great, smells great and really gets the job done, leaving skin soft and ...read moreluxurious. Not to mention the packaging is very girly and pretty, which I love. I've yet to find a scrub that can compete with this one. The first week of trying it, I began to use it everyday. The scent is highly feminine and glamorous and blends well with floral and clean scented perfumes and shampoos. I am very pleased with scrub em and leave em and now want to buy many other soap & glory products as a result. — 2 years, 4 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.
Got it!I plead guilty to a DUI on 12/13/11 for DUI. The DUI was from back in 07 of 2007. After I was arrested for the DUI they took my license, but the officer didn't fill out the paperwork correctly and I received my license back in the mail 2 weeks later. I have had a valid license ever since. Will they still suspend my license, and if so does it normally take this long for them to notify you of a suspension, it has been about 6 weeks since my guilty plea.
Did I essentially win the license hearing since they gave me back my license? If so, will they still suspend my license?
I ordered my driving record last week and it showed no indication of a DUI on my record, at least not yet.
Yes, they will now suspend your license. They will use the rules in effect at the time of the suspension, although some changes in July 2011 can sometimes be brought into play. Yes, you did "win" the administrative hearing. Unfortunately for a dui to have no effect on your license you must win twice, once at the admin hearing and once in the criminal case. Often I see that the clerk does not send the conviction paperwork to the Department of Revenue until after the sentencing. The license is usually pretty quickly suspended thereafter. Does the Department still have your correct address? The reason your driving record does not show the dui yet is that your clerk has not sent the paperwork to Topeka.

Readers must also understand that this format does not provide for confidential communication.
I appreciate your response. Yes, they do have my correct address and I check my license status online daily. Also my sentencing date was back in December 13th, that is why I'm confused to why I haven't been suspended yet..
That is strange. The driver controll bureau has been increasingly short handed over the last year. The governor's office wants them to do more with fewer and fewer hands. Maybe they are simply that far behind but it is weird. Usually once they get paperwork of a conviction from a clerk they get immediately on suspensions. That is the kind of thing which goes to the top of the pile. I suggest you contact you attorney and see if he can shed any light on it.

Modern Baseball – CANCELLED
CLICK HERE for information on this cancellation.This show has been cancelled. Please see below for band's statement. If you purchased tickets with a credit card online, at The Orange Peel box office, or one of our outlets, your refund will be processed in the next 3-5 business days. If you paid cash for tickets, refunds will be available at The Orange Peel box office.
Hey everybody,
Jake here. As much as it pains me to say this, we have decided to cancel our upcoming U.S. tour dates and festival appearances to take a break from Modern Baseball for a little while. If you already bought tickets for the tour, refunds will be available at point of purchase.
Over the past few months the band has become an immense source of anxiety for me, and it wasn't until I opened up to Sean, Ian, and Brendan about it that we realized we were all feeling the same way. The project we started as a source of joy and positive expression had become something that was slowly eating away at our mental health and our friendships. We have been championing the importance of mental health for a while now, and we recently realized that it would be wrong for us to ignore our own health any longer. Please know that we don't take a tour cancellation lightly, and under any other circumstances we would not even consider it an option, but in this instance we have to put our health and friendships first. You've supported us unconditionally throughout this crazy ride and we could never thank you enough. We never really learned how to do this whole "rock band" thing the right way, but you kept coming to the shows and talking to us and assuring us that we'd figure it out sooner or later. We could not have done any of this without you. Be honest with those you love and don't be afraid to lean on them when you need to. Odds are they'll need to lean on you pretty soon too.
With all the love in the world,

Most Recent|2004 Honda Civic Coupe EX 2dr Coupe (1.7L 4cyl 5M)
I bought this car used (w/21,000 miles) and paid almost the full retail of what a new 2005 goes for. Nevertheless, I'm completely satisfied with this Civic EX Coupe. The color (Satin Silver), the styling (the headlamps, taillamps, alloy wheels, sheetmetal creases on hood and down the sides), the value features for the money (cruise, 6 speaker stereo, ABS, sunroof, keyless entry) and then there's the great gas mileage! I'm average around 35mpg in mixed driving. Pickup and power are good for a car that weighs around 2600lbs. This is my second Honda (first was an '86 Accord LX-i hatchback) and hopefully this one will do 200,000 miles plus like my first one!
Backlit gauges, multi-step (nine!) fan speeds, jewel-like head and tail lamps, nearly silent motor when idling, keyless entry, sunroof (that slides into, not on top of roof), and great gas mileage!
More insulation from road noise, larger volume knob for radio (about the size of the HVAC knobs), cushion trunk lid (tinny sound when closed), keyless trunk, move sunroof switch to center stack, wider seats. The Si's motor, 4-wheel discs, traction/ESP would be good additions for next EX model.
2004 Honda Civic Coupe EX 2dr Coupe (1.7L 4cyl 5M)
I'm fairly happy with the car. However, the power to gas milage ratio is disappointing... Avg. 25 mpg at freeway speeds with A/C on (rated at 38 mpg).
Nice Styling, positive control, so far realible transportation.
Needs more power, seats uncomfortable, radio hard to reach, stiff shifting (manual trans).
2004 Honda Civic Coupe Value Package 2dr Coupe (1.7L 4cyl 5M)
I got to say what a great little car for the money. You can't go wrong here with the Honda Civic VP, 5 speed. I guess for a 24 year old that car suites me quite nicely. I love the gas milage, the design of the vehicle, and the overall build quality of this vehicle. This is a basic car from point A to B, with nothing but A/C and a AM/FM CD Player. Car rides and drives great! MY GF loves the car! I sold the 2000 Tahoe I had due to the gas prices. I was spending almost a $100 a week in gas for the Tahoe, where as now I only spend about $30.00. This is a perfect car for a young adult, or someone young at heart
Looks, Build Quality, Ride, and Comfort.
Wish it came with cruise, but I guess I could have bought an LX and spent 3k more.
2004 Honda Civic Coupe EX 2dr Coupe (1.7L 4cyl 5M)
Used to own a '91 Accord (with 250K on odometer at the time it was totaled). Honda's have come a long way since then. At first I thought I'd stepped down from an Accord to get into the Civic, but now I'm totally satisfied, especially with the wonderful gas mileage this vehicle offers. Furthermore, a smaller car is easier to park! I'm not totally in love with this vehicle though, however I am, like I said, very satisfied with the purchase. And, as a repeat Honda owner, I have no doubt about it's exceptional reliability. Yet, needs work on the exterior durability. Dings and scratches easily. It's great to know that this car will probably last as long as my former Honda too.
Sunroof. Remote entry. I really like having the sun- roof back and the windows down. All the fun of having a convertible, but without the actual hassle and expense of one. Nice and peppy for such four banger too.
Can't stand the steering wheel. Lower handle grips have no space for me to rest both hands comfortably, only one hand because of instrumentation on wheel. Unable to rest elbows comfortably while driving too. Side body molding! C'mon! An EX? Make it standard! Stereo is so-so. Need to improve.
2004 Honda Civic Coupe LX 2dr Coupe (1.7L 4cyl 5M)
I love this car. It is fun to drive and the mileage is better the futher you drive it. Excellent manufacture's assistance and concern. Dealer satifaction is high. Very nice people. I bought the car for gas mileage around town and it has satisfied me.
Style and economy. Fun to drive
The radio has a lot to be desired. Very low AM reception. Some local channels cannot come in like other radios. Speakers are ok but the radio must be changed. The car needs more sound deading. It is very loud on rocky / semi smooth roads and interstates.

25 Best Guitar Brands: Top Acoustic and Electric Guitars 2017
Top Guitar Brands
The best guitar brands stay on top for good reason so if you're looking for a new acoustic or electric guitar it's smart to start with the big names. These companies have built up their reputations over the years by producing high-quality instruments used by some of the best guitar players in the world.
Some of these guitar manufacturers have even been around over a hundred years! You've probably heard of most of them, but there are also some less-famous names out there making amazing instruments.
If you're new to guitar, or if you're just now taking an interest in the different instrument makers for the first time, this guide is intended to help you sort out what makes each manufacturer unique and decide whether or not their products are a good match for your needs.
About This Article
You can think of this article as a directory of sorts. There's a lot of information presented here, but then again there are a lot of guitars out there in the world. I started this project a few years ago with the idea of creating a page where new and veteran players alike can find information about different guitar brands. I've got over thirty years of experience behind me, so maybe my opinions can help you make a better decision if you are looking for a new instrument.
But it occurred to me that people may have different ideas in mind when they come here:
- Some players may just be looking for a listing of the top acoustic or electric guitar companies. So, I've created one of each, and this may be all you need to know. These lists are based not only on my opinion, but on the guitars I think you are most likely to encounter in your decision-making process.
- Another type of reader might need more information. You'll find an alphabetical listing of the top 25 guitar companies, along with videos and other information to help you learn more about their gear.
- Finally, some readers may be newbies just starting out on guitar and might have a specific interest or music genre in mind. It wouldn't be reasonable to cover every possible interest in the scope of this article, but I've written several hundred guitar-related articles over the years, and linked to many of them throughout the text. You may find the exact information you need on one of those pages. There is also a listing of articles for beginning players early in this article, as well as a listing of genre-based articles at the end.
This is a long article, and you may find it easiest to scroll around to the different sections you are interested in. Or you may prefer to read this whole article from start to finish. In my opinion it's probably best to bookmark this page and come back to it later, instead of trying to digest the whole thing in one shot.
Note: If you don't see your favorite guitar brand listed here, don't freak out! (People seem to freak out over this for some reason.) This list is always evolving, so if you think there is a company unjustly omitted here just mention it in the comments and I may add it on the next update.
Good luck on your guitar journey, and I hope you find this page helpful!

Alphabetical Listing of Guitar Companies
Below you'll find to 25 most prominent guitar manufacturers, listed alphabetically. Some specialize in one type of guitar (acoustic or electric), while others do well with both. Some focus on a specific genre, such as metal or jazz, and some do it all. I've tried to give a good overview of each brand, along with a few notes on any significant changes for 2017.
If you have any questions feel free to ask in the comments section!
B.C. Rich
B.C. Rich specializes in guitars for the heavy metal and hard rock crowd. They've produced some of the most legendary designs in the history of metal, including the Warlock, Bich, Virgin, and Mockingbird. Their instruments helped to mold the hard rock and thrash revolution of the 1980s and B.C. Rich is still a great choice for any guitarist looking for an instrument that looks and sounds as edgy as possible.
Along with their classic designs, in recent years B.C. Rich introduced their Villain line of electric guitars. These guitars look incredible. With basswood or mahogany bodies and options like Floyd Rose tremolos and Seymour Duncan Blackout humbuckers, they sound great too. Available in a 6, 7 or 8-string models, there's one to meet the needs of metal players of any generation.
Guitar World Checks out the B.C. Rich MK5 Warlock
Carvin / Kiesel
Carvin is a guitar company with a different business model than the rest. You won't find them at your local music store because Carvin only makes custom guitars. Their instruments are based around a handful of templates and each feature components that are individually chosen by the buyer. For this reason, it's very rare to find two Carvins that are completely identical.
There's a Carvin model for just about every musical style, from metal to jazz to country to plain old rock and roll. These are high-quality, American-made instruments, and pretty good deals too. If you're a guitar player looking to stand out from all the rest, Carvin is a great option.
Last year we saw a change to the Carvin company, as their guitars and basses took on the Kiesel brand name. So, Carvin is Kiesel now. But they are still Carvin. So what gives?
In a nutshell: Lowell Kiesel is the name of the guy who founded Carvin. He originally sold guitars under his own name, but later changed the company name to Carvin, a melding of the first names of his two sons. So, when Carvin changed the name on their guitars to Kiesel, they were actually reverting back to their roots. Kiesel is Carvin, and Carvin has always been Kiesel.
Got it?
Check out my personal experience with Carvin guitars here: Carvin guitars review.
A few decades ago, during the Golden Age of Shred, Charvel guitars were front and center as one of the best guitar brands for hard rock, metal, and brain-melting soloing. Then came the 1990s and the grunge revolution, and for a time anyway all things shred were out, in favor of droning guitars and melancholy lyrics.
But the universe could only take so much of that, so it was only a matter of time before brands like Charvel came back to power. That time is now.
Charvel's So Cal and San Dimas models are just as hot as their ancestors of the '80s. In my opinion, these are still at the top of the list of best superstrats in the world.
Hear the Charvel Pro-Mod So-Cal Style 1
Daisy Rock
Daisy Rock? Sounds like guitars for girls or something. It is! Daisy Rock is a company dedicated to empowering girls and young women and giving them the resources they need to learn to play the guitar. They have starter, short-scale acoustic guitars for little girls, and some really cool electric guitars in the shapes of hearts, butterflies, and flowers.
But don't think they're all about foofy shapes and pastel colors. Daisy Rock also produces some really high-grade stuff: guitars with professional-style appointments like the Stardust and Rock Candy models. This is company that really has a great mission statement. We need more girl guitar heroes!
If you are into metal, Dean is a guitar company you'll want to check out. Their classic ML design has become an icon in the extreme rock genre, thanks to the late Darrell Abbott of Pantera and Damageplan. In the 1990s Dime brought the old ML back to life, and Dean expanded the concept with some sharper, more modern designs.
These days there are several versions of the ML to choose from. Plus, Dave Mustaine of Megadeth endorses Dean with his signature V, and the Dean Vendetta Series is worth a look for any level of guitar player.
Dean also makes some great guitars for rock, blues, country, and even some quality acoustics.
They are now owned by Gibson, but at one time Epiphone was one of Gibson's biggest competitors. Nowadays they are considered Gibson's budget-minded little brother.
Even so, Epiphone is one of the best electric guitar brands, known for producing quality instruments in the Gibson mold. You might think choosing an Epiphone Les Paul means you are compromising tone and quality, but it may surprise you to know that many veteran guitar players hold their Epis right up their with their Gibsons.
Epi makes both electric and acoustic guitars and many of their models are based around Gibson designs. In fact, they are the only guitar company allowed to use Gibson specs to make Les Pauls, Explorers, SGs, Flying Vs, and other Gibson classics.
Some of Epiphone's entry-level guitars like the Les Paul Special II and the Les Paul 100 place them among the best guitar brands for beginners. This is good news for young players and anyone looking to get a great guitar that looks like a Gibson, sounds a lot like a Gibson, but doesn't cost nearly as much as a Gibson.
For serious beginners and intermediate players, the Epiphone Les Paul Standard is a quality instrument that will get you through practice sessions and gigs alike. From there, take things up a notch with the Les Paul PlusTop PRO and the gorgeous but very affordable Les Paul Custom PRO.
It is no wonder Epiphone is considered one of the best electric guitar brands for beginners and intermediate players in the world today!

ESP and ESP LTD
During the '80s and early '90s, ESP was a guitar company known for creating incredible custom-shop instruments and high-quality original designs.
They still do that, and ESP guitars are used by some of the best professional musicians on the planet, especially in the hard rock and metal genres. But when they branched out to their ESP-LTD designs, ESP brought their legendary guitars to the masses.
ESP LTD guitars feature ESP designs like the Eclipse in a more budget-friendly package, such as the EC1000. The ESP-LTD EC-1000 is an amazing rock guitar with quality appointments. It is quickly becoming a classic. If you are looking for a great Les Paul alternative, the EC-1000 might be the right choice for you.
You'll also find some original and innovative designs in the ESP LTD lineup. These are great guitars for the money and feature many top-shelf components.

Along with Gibson, Fender is probably among the most recognized guitar names out there. Models like the Stratocaster and Telecaster are etched into history as some of the greatest guitars ever made. Their USA-made instruments have shaped just about every genre of music for over 60 years.
Fender is one of the best guitar brands in the world and the these are iconic guitarc. For players on a budget, Fender brings us the affordable Standard Stratocaster, or "Made in Mexico" series. These are excellent instruments for intermediate players and even working pros. They come in at around half the price of their American-made brothers.
And, like USA Fenders, you can choose between maple or rosewood fingerboards, HSS or SSS pickup configuration, and from an array of colors. There are also models available with a Floyd Rose tremolo and with pretty "plus" tops.
But for many players nothing but an American Fender will do. For 2017 Fender builds on their lineup of American-made classics with the American Professional Series. These are pro guitars with premium components, fresh new colors and innovative electrics and hardware.
At Fender, it seems the more things change the more they stay the same. If it ain't broke don't fix it, it seems. Fender is one of those brands that somehow manage to be both classic and cutting-edge at the same time.

The most famous Gibson guitar is the Les Paul, which has been a mainstay in the music world for decades. The Gibson Les Paul is a high-end, made-in-the USA instrument, and it comes in a few different variations. Like Fender, Gibson has remained fairly consistent with their styles and designs. In addition to the Les Paul, other famous Gibson electric guitars include the SG, Flying V, Explorer, ES-335, and Firebird. Their classic acoustics include the Hummingbird.
As mentioned above, many of these models are available as Epiphone copies, but that doesn't detract from the mystique of Gibson. Gibsons are legendary for their tone and craftsmanship, and for many players nothing else will do except a real Gibson guitar.
Gibson has made some interesting changes in their lineup in recent years, including the return of the classic Les Paul Studio design in the form of the Studio T, and the super-affordable Les Paul Studio Faded.
Check Out the Gibson Les Paul Studio Faded
G&L is a guitar company founded by Leo Fender. Yup, that Leo Fender. Many of the design are reminiscent of Fender classic instruments, with some improvements to form and design. Because of this, some guitar players feel G&L is a solid alternative to, and even an improvement to Fender guitars.
No doubt you'll see Leo Fender's mind at work when looking at guitars like the ASAT and Legacy. But look a little deeper and you'll find some innovative hardware and electronics designs, plus a few models that separate G&L from any of the other guitar brands out there.
Gretsch is a guitar company that makes some truly beautiful instruments, especially if you are into hollow and semi-hollow body guitars. The Gretsch White Falcon is a legendary instrument with a price tag to match its reputation, but there are other models in the Gretsch lineup and something right for any level of player.
From the signature Chet Atkins and Brian Setzer models, to the Jet and Duo Jet, Gretsch is to rockabilly and jazz what Jackson is to metal. The Electromatic Series offers some very affordable options for intermediate players and working pros.
Guild is an American guitar company that makes some amazing semi-hollow electric guitars such as the Starfire and the Aristocrat. These are guitars that nail the retro-rock sound and have the looks to match. Many classic Guild models have been revived through the Newark Street collection. While these guitars are cool beyond words, where Guild really shines is in the acoustic arena.
Guild acoustic guitars are played by some of the best professional musicians in the business. From this standpoint, Guild is on par with Martin and Taylor, and completes the triumvirate of American acoustic guitar titans. As you'd expect, the prices follow suit. However, the GAD series offers a way for intermediate players to get a Guild acoustic for a reasonable price.
The Guild D-150CE
Ibanez started out as a Japanese company specializing in quality copies of famous American guitars.
Today it is known to many as a great guitar company in its own right, mainly for metal and hard rock players. In truth they make guitars for just about every style and genre, but heavy music is definitely where they shine, and the metal crowd has flocked to Ibanez for decades.
The RG is probably their most iconic instrument, but the S series is also beloved by shredders. Of course they've also been innovators in the field of 7-string guitars, starting back in 1990 with the Universe, the first 7-string guitar on the market.

Another brand that is well-known among metal players is Jackson. Back in the 1980s, it seemed like Jackson guitars were in the hands of just about every metal and hard rock player on the planet. That tradition continues today, and models like the King V, Kelly, Rhoads, Soloist, and Dinky are still coveted for their great sound and performance.
Jackson models are available in very expensive custom-shop and made-in-the-USA versions, as well as less expensive guitars with downgraded appointments aimed more at beginning and intermediate players. This means metal guitarists of any level and budget are able to own a Jackson and get started the right way.
Guitar World Reviews Amazing Jackson Guitars
Back in the '80s Kramer was one of the premier names in metal and hard rock. In fact, Eddie Van Halen even played a Kramer for a short period of time.
In the '90s things took a weird turn, and Kramer was eventually bought up by Gibson. Anyone who remembers Kramer during this period probably also remembers a website called MusicYo, where Kramer guitars could be purchased direct and at bargain-basement prices.
These days, Kramer has seen something of a resurgence. Many players remember those glory days of the 1980s and models like the Beretta, with its single-pickup design and double-locking tremolo. If that's your bag, give Kramer guitars a serious look.
Martin is an American guitar company specializing in acoustic guitars. Most of their instruments are still built at their facility in Nazareth, Pennsylvania, and their legacy dates back all the way to 1833. Martin, in many ways, has helped to shape the look and sound of the American acoustic guitar. In fact, they invented the now-classic dreadnought shape in an effort to help American country musicians who wanted more projection out of their guitars onstage.
Martin makes some incredibly beautiful (and expensive) instruments like the D-28 and D-45, along with more affordable guitars that will fit into the budgets of up-and-coming players. It's also worth noting that Martin is playing a big role in spearheading the effort to protect endangered forests by seeking out alternate tonewoods where possible.
Different Types of Martin Guitars
Ovation acoustic-electric guitars are unique, innovative and, for some players, almost addictive! Once you've played an Ovation, no other guitar may do. They have a different look and feel than most other acoustic guitars due to their design, which incorporates a wood top with a rounded, synthetic bowl shape instead of the traditional back and sides.
The result is a light, comfortable guitar with a distinctive sound. For players who prefer the feel of an electric guitar but need to play an acousitc, an Ovation is often the perfect compromise.
Ovation makes some incredible professional-level instruments, featuring some quality components and electronics. They also have the entry-level Applause series of reasonably priced guitars for beginners or those who are looking to get their feet we with the Ovation design.
PRS is a guitar company founded by luthier Paul Reed Smith. Today these instruments are recognized as some of the finest guitars in the world, on par and often surpassing high-end Gibsons.
PRS really took off back in the '90s when it seemed just about everyone had swapped out their Les Paul for a PRS. Eventually they capitalized on this trend and made the PRS more accessible by introducing the SE line of lower-budget guitars. But these aren't beginner's guitars. Even though they cost less than a standard PRS, they're still high-quality instruments.
PRS guitars are used by players of every genre. They're a classy, if somewhat expensive, alternative to some of the more traditional brand names in the guitar industry.
Hear the PRS S2 Custom 22
Rickenbacker may be a name more closely associated with bass guitar, but it is a brand that makes some of the best acoustic and electric guitars as well. Like their four-stringed brothers, Rickenbacker guitars feature some space-aged designs that have now become classic.
This is a guitar company that has been around since the 1930s, and they played a key part in the early days of rock and roll. Bands like the Beatles helped to bring the Rickenbacker name to the forefront.
These days, Rickenbacker guitars are a unique choice for guitarists looking for something with a vintage style that's a bit off the beaten path.
Schecter Guitar Research is a company that has really established themselves as one of the best guitar brands out there in recent years. Many of their guitars are focused on the heavy metal market, but players of any genre can find a Schecter that meets their needs. With superb craftsmanship and high-end appointments you'd expect to find on much more expensive guitars, they are also among the best values in the guitar world.
Many of their guitars are based around the Schecter "C" body shape model. This is a great design that's not only aesthetically pleasing, but also easy to play and sonically effective.
While Schecter is one of the best guitar brands for metal out there today. The Schecter California Vintage Series is a lineup of guitars with a classic Strat and Tele-like styles. Like most Schecters, they are affordable instruments that offer tremendous value.
Schecter has always produced a few classic styles, so while this is a bit of a departure it is really no surprise. I'm thinking the California Vintage Sere is will give MIM Fenders and G&L Tribute Series a run for their money!
For 2017 Schecter introduces the Apocalypse Series for metal maniacs, the slick Standard Series with some classic looks, and the versatile Banshee Extreme Series.

Seagull acoustic guitars are among the best values you are going find. They're made in Canada, and there's an attention to detail and craftsmanship here you may not expect in guitars at these price points. The Seagull Artist series is the top of the lineup. You'll find unique tonewoods and high-quality construction techniques at an affordable price.
Further down the Seagull line, looking at models outside of the Artist Series, the components and woods aren't the same but we still see an impressive attention to detail. The Seagull S6 Original is a bare-bones acoustic, perfect for beginners and intermediate players. This is a guitar worth checking out if you need a solid acoustic and don't want to break the bank.

Squier is the baby brother of Fender and makes inexpensive guitars players based on classic Fender models. Along with Epiphone, they're one of the best guitar brands for beginners or newbies looking for their first real guitar.
The quality varies, but some of these are very good instruments. Squier also make starter packs that come with a guitar, amp, and all the accessories you'll need to get started playing.
A few Squiers that stand out above the rest are the Classic Vibe and the Vintage Modified Series. These Stratocasters and Telecasters feature better components than typical Squier instruments, and some are even on par with lower-priced Fenders.
If you are thinking of starting out in guitar, it is a smart idea to choose a Squier by Fender starter pack. These kits have everything you need to start playing today, including the guitar, amp, cable, strap, picks, and even some materials to help you learn to play!
How Does Squier Compare to Fender?
- Squier vs Fender Stratocaster Guitar Review
Knowing the difference between the Squier and Fender Stratocaster will help you decide which guitar is right for you and your budget.
Taylor guitars are among the best in the world. This American guitar company makes some incredible acoustic guitar designs and a few cool electrics too. Taylor guitars don't come cheap, but like Martin, they are worth every penny.
Taylor and Martin are really the upper esheclon when it comes to American-made acoustic guitars. Like Martin, Taylor makes many acoustic and acoustic-electric instruments that find their way into the hands of professional musicians onstage. But they make a few that are more suited for working players as well.
Their 200-series is reasonably priced, and a great value for a Taylor guitar. They also make the Baby and Big Baby, and the GS Mini—smaller-bodied guitars perfect for intermediate players and beginners with a few extra bucks in their pockets.These are awesome acoustic guitars with a big sound. They might be small, but veteran guitar players love them for the tone and portability.
Check out the Taylor GS Mini!
In the 1980s it seemed like Washburn guitars were everywhere, and they were leaders in the hard rock and metal guitar genre. Even though they aren't quite as prominent as they once were, they still feature some nice guitars in their lineup. From metal to jazz and anywhere in between, Washburn has you covered. With signature models for Paul Stanley and Nuno Bettencourt, they still have strong name recognition in the rock world.
It's not likely Washburn is going anywhere anytime soon. They're one of the oldest American guitar makers in the business, with roots going all the way back to 1883!
Yamaha makes a little bit of everything, from organs and bass guitars to electric guitars and band instruments. Their acoustic guitars are always excellent, and there are options for all levels of guitar experience.
Beginning and intermediate players especially can find some outstanding instruments in the Yamaha lineup. This is a Japanese company that has stood the test of time over the years.
The Yamaha FG800 is widely considered one of the best acoustic guitars for beginners, not only because of its surprising sound qualities but also for its ease of play. Moving up the line, the L Series offers high-level craftsmanship and solid-wood designs.
There is a reason Yamaha has been around for so long, and is so revered in the music world.
Other Guitar Makers
Though the brands listed above are the best-known guitar companies out there, there are many others. If you come across a guitar manufacturer you have never heard of, it always pays to check it out. You never know what kind of hidden gem you may uncover, and you might find yourself on the leading edge of a new guitar revolution!
Finding the right guitar is a process, and it pays to take your time, consider your needs, and learn as much as you can about the different options. It's always smart to start with the big names. Remember, there's a good reason they're the best guitar brands in the world!

Love Epiphone. Mine never goes out of tune and sounds great with most settings.
Cool! But if you guys were to pick your top 3, what would they be? I've always been a fan of Fender and Gibson :)
My comment on Blueridge guitars just disappeared. Why? I'll try again. Not a very well known acoustic yet but comparable in tone and playability to Martin and Taylor. Check it out.
Sure. My comments here were my very first attempt at posting on Hub Pages. I'm brand new here, don't know how it all works yet. Great article! Just for my own information are you saying the authors of Hub Page articles review all comments regarding their posts before those comments are posted?
Electrics - Heritage builds a very nice guitar, as does PRS and Tokai.
Acoustics - Old Martins, old Gibsons, and Takamines.
Super list! Well presented and interesting. I've had a Yamaha acoustic for about 36 years, and would miss the sound if I didn't have it. Treated myself to an Epiphone Les Paul a few years ago. It may not be the greatest, but it's good enough for this amateur.
Keep up the good work!
Where are the TAKAMIME ??? They are worth being here...
I've had a Sunburst pattern Ventura when I was a teenager.. it was a nice guitar and played well. recently i saw a really well made Oscar Schmidt gs-1 . not expensive at all. My main guitar for many years was a Gibson howard roberts "artist" dove style. wine red and mother of pearl inlay and gold plated. I eventually sold it to a lady in alaska that plays a lot of blue grass and pop. I got full money out of it. I had it 25 years, so it was vintage by now.
I'm a huge fan of Godin guitars. They are a Canadian brand who actually own Seagull guitars. Their Session series is fantastic for only about $500. They play like a guitar double that price.
Hello mister guitargopher. I like your article about tbe electric guitars. I love the sound. They make when some one play them. I like a few guitar players. My favorite is Carlos Santana. He is amazing. I like the guitar players from the Hard Rock Casino. They are amazing. Thanks for awakesome article. I like your hub.
Epiphone is my weakness. I needed to say it.
I just recently started to try to" really learn" to play guitar. I've known a few "not too difficult" songs for years. Now at 45yrs. old I bought a couple of cord books and it's bittersweet. It's such a wonderful feeling to play songs all the way to the end with a friend of mine who told me years ago that I had a good natural musical ability. I've learned more in 3 or 4 months than in 25 years. But enough about that... I was handed a jumbo GUILD from I believe around the early 70's. I've never heard anything like it. I must have one!!!
Check out McPherson guitars, spectacular commitment to tone woods and to creating new tone wood combos that are high quality with great sound, and pioneers of the asymmetrical sound hole. Love them!
I find it much more advantageous to build my own electric guitars. Selecting the woods ,necks with profiles that fit my hand and fingers , quality hardware and electronics that fit the sound and play style. For the price of a trad pro or an American std. Etc. You can build a better guitar for less that's exactly the way you want it.
Who are you to state that Taylor guitars are among the best in the world? Are you from California? I don't and many other don't feel that way. Taylor just does not have the sound of other fine acoustical guitars. I'm not putting Taylor down. It's a well built acoustic but I don't quite like the sound of them. That's a biased and very bold statement you made about Taylor and it's not true. There are so many great acoustic guitar builders around this planet that do build superb guitars. Please, lets not put a Californian Company biasedly on top of everything on the planet. Can we do this please? I apologize for this email but what you stated is so unfair for all of the others guitar companies that build outstanding guitars, worldwide.
I just find out about this French company that makes very good electric guitars. The name is "Vigier", has anybody here ever heard of them?
in my opinion a the Gibson guitars are the best guitars out there
Hey , What happened to mentioning some of the nicest guitars still made? Gretsch!!!
I think GIBSON and Fender are the best
I own 24 guitars that include many of the brands that you mention. My collection is heavily oriented to the acoustic and acoustic / electric models. In my experience. Gibson, Martin, Guild, Ovation and Takamine have the best sound and playability. Taylor is not in the same league. I owned one and sold it
Have you heard about a brand called GC - I presume it is Guitar Club. If Yes, where is this company located?
Nice list, but I would it would have been nice to see more than a mention about Rickenbacker guitars. (After all they were the first to make an electric guitar in 1932)
Some of the greatest rock songs ever recorded contained a Rickenbacker. And if you look back on the guitarists who've used them...that list is staggering.
People like John Lennon, George Harrison, Roger McGuinn, Pete Townsend, Tom Petty, Mike Campbell...well the list goes on an on.
Love the list! I'm kind of a beginner guitar player (just started last July, in fact) and I have a Fender T-bucket but I would really like to get a nice electric. I'm stuck between a semi-hollow body Guild and a hollow body Gretsch. I love the look and sound of both and I'm unsure of which to get. What do you think?
i m just a beginner, searching for an acoustic guitar
which brand would be the best ??
and have u heard about the brand havana?
and u have got an excellent list!!!
is semi acoustic preferable
hi i am a biginner but can not find which brand is best for acoustic giuitar.
i thik gibson is the best brand of acoustic guitar
For me Gibson is the best in electric and acoustic as well but the price so wow. Epiphone so much affordable and it wont disappoint u because it sound really good tho.
By the way, Godin and Cort also sounds good if u know about it.
One of my guitars is an Alvarez Yairi. It's an acoustic dreadnaught, priced up there with the Martin D28, has fantastic sound, and very comfortable to play. I haven't seen Alvarez mentioned in this article. I am just wondering how you think it compares to some of the other high-end guitars.
I don't understand why everyone is so "Gibson is the best". They have been going downhill for years. Unless it's a custom shop job, it is hit or miss. the same with Fender. Everyone likes them because of the mystique of the players that played them over the last decades. It's a "lifestyle cult" with name recognition. If you want a guitar that plays and sounds like a Gibson of Fender is supposed to but want to be guaranteed of the quality you are receiving and spend for a fraction of the money, then get a used USA Custom Shop made Washburn. You will never look back. I say used because the Chicago custom shop has apparently closed. Anything made there from about 1993 - 2008 that looks like a competitors guitar will outmatch the competitors version every time. You will notice that it is hard to find a used custom shop Washburn around. That's because they are the guitar worlds best kept secret. The people in the know get them - at a massively reduced price - and keep them. People hang onto their USA Washurns for the most part and there i a reason for that. They are that good.
Hey guys. . plz tell me. If anypne has heard about Clapton guitar brand. I wonder if it really is a guitar brand so plz reply.
S you basically listed every guitar brand. Do you work at a guitar store or something?
I have been looking for a guitar and noticing what the bands touring and professionals of Nashville. Gibson, Taylor, Martin and Takamime are the big 4. I like the Martin sound. and bought a great copy by Univox, 3-5k for the Martin.
My last lost guitar was a 1k copy of a Martin by Alvarez Yari. Yari was sued for making their copies as was Univox same quality half the price.
Ernie Ball Music Man guitars not in this list!!!!!!!!!
How about ybanez guitar? Anyone wants to comment?
Hi, can you recommend a good quality/brand of "acoustic guitar" for my 10y.o. son who's keen on taking up guitar lesson? A guitar which would last him atleast until he's teenager or adulthood!
Appreciate your feedback with the above.
I own a Webber and I am quite pleased with my round body guitar.
Have you heard of the guitar company website named the guild guitar company. They have an excellent guitar facts info and sell guitar parts. I really recommend going to their page. That is if you haven't visited yet.
So what would u say to a Peavey are they good?
Check out larrivee!!
For best playability .... Ibanez
I finally bought my American made Fender Strat, I loved the color blue.
Next I bought a Gibson Les Paul Custom, wine red but they have a problem with the paint, it melts on contact to a guitar stand, you have to order a special one to avoid this problem.
