After much thought and council I feel I have come up with a ranking system for guitars. In this blog we will be starting with rock n roll guitars. This includes Classic rock, modern rock, metal, hair metal, and heavy/death metal. This will also be the solid body guitars of these era's.
1) Shredability - this ranking will be 1-5 skulls and will determine how fast and easy the neck and body play. Now don't confuse this with playability (cause that's fuckin stupid).
2) Eye Candy Score - This reviews how visually pleasant the guitar is to me. I will be performing votes to get a true score for this. this ranking will be 1-10 chocolate bars, as there are so many different looks to so many different guitars. Also with this rank originality will be taken into account as well as difficulty in application.
3) Sensation Sound - or S/S will be how this guitar performs on sound. Now this is the part at which I will perform on one amp and one amp only. As well we will run this test on 3 settings to see how these guitars sound depending on how much output you attempt to push the pickups.
4) Mysterious Appeal - This one is not as subjective to a traditional ranking system but decided to add this ranking as lots of guitars have this appeal that cannot be explained. This is a yes or no rating. When a guitar "speaks to me" it will get a YES in M.A. and if the appeal is equivilant to a piece of wood it will get a NO. This ranking is more for me than you as appeal may be completly different so don't be offended if I don't like a guitar for this reason. I will still be very subjective with the other rankings.
Now I am sure some of you are wondering why you should trust my opinion and if it can be trusted. Well I will be gathering opinions from not only myself but many others. Inlcluding luthiers, professional musicians, and designers of guitars and amps. I have inlisted there help on occasions where a true pro is needed.
