geez. this person is stuck in the 80s. that's why this sucks.

1) strats, jaguars and jazzmasters were integral to alt. rock, which is what people nowadays are going to go looking to them for. green day, billy corgan, john frusciante. tom morello also used a strat. they're good PUNK guitars BECAUSE they aren't muddy with full chord riffs.

2) you need an ibanez entry for the nu metal, emo and post-hardcore kids: tone that sounds like a corporate robot vomiting out cockroaches through autotune vocoders, while screaming FEED ME.

3) why pick angus young of all people (gross) as an sg player, when you've got zappa and thayil amongst others to choose from? worse is that it's again years out of date: hi gain sgs created that mall punk sound. i bought my sg due to thayil, but the high gain mall punk thing is why kids go for sgs today. i bet a high school survey would conclude that well over 90% of people under 20 have never even heard of either angus young or ac/dc (that's not dad music anymore, it's grandpa music, and grandpa grew out of it many years ago, if he didn't overdose on something (possibly cheese) before kid got to know him).

4) if you want that mevins/boris sound, you probably want to go with a paul - while realizing the sound is mostly in the amp.
