To me, the Les Paul just screams rock and roll, although I'm willing to listen to the discussion. After all, that's why I posted the thread.
Which guitar rocks hardest?

I can't imagine there being a consensus on most metal guitar. I don't really want this to devolve into the battle axe axe, etc.
By the way, I could see a strong argument being made for the SG.

I think the shape of the Explorer and SG shapes most typify a man's will to melt your face off with Rock and Roll

LPs bring the thunder, sure, but they're perfectly at home in a pretty broad spectrum of styles.
You see an Explorer, you just know it's going to rock hard.

Nope it's an abomination. Completely different guitar than the real DC. Clunky slab body Strat scale not the same guitar at all. Is part of Jeff Kiesels purge of all things Carvin from the line up. Ok but should have been called something other than a DC because it's not. Body is more like a 80's Ibanez RG.very clunky and slab sided a far cry from the sleek DC in particular a DC with the rounded body option. I have 2 first gen 25 scale DC 600's one branded Carvin one Kiesel they are ok but a very different guitar from a real DC. Both sound and play very well but are not on the same planet as a real rounded body DC. My first Carvin was a 1989 DC 200 in Sapphire Flame.

I have always gravitated towards the V as my main metal guitar. It just suits me best. I have 2 King Vs, 6 and 7 string, a 1984 Dean 3/4 V though I have other tools for other jobs (LP, American Strat, superstrats, tele.) I have a feeling this is gonna trump them all. Kramersteen did the body for me and I just installed LEDs in the skulls eyes. No neck pickup, it’s for pure metal on the stage! Might put a livewire hmet for the switchable outputs if not just a Nazgul or Black Winter.
Should this thread be renamed to..."Which Guitar Looks Like It Rocks The Hardest"?
I think this thread is more about how guitar types have traditionally been used (or who has used each type of guitar for the music they have played) rather than what they are capable of.
I think that the LP is probably the most versatile guitar ever made, because it has been used for every type of music I can imagine.
The Strat is by far the most comfortable guitar and has the cleanest sound.
Of course there are the Tele, the SG, the "V", the Explorer, etc. but by sheer numbers they are not nearly as popular.
However, that being said, "Which Guitar Rocks Hardest" could be ANY guitar depending on what pickups are in it and what amp it is being played through (a Mockingbird or "V" played through a 5 watt solid state practice amp is not much of a rocker. A Squire Strat with a Custom bridge pup played through a 100 watt Marshall double stack is going to put them all to shame.
I've always felt that the amp and speakers are more defining of the sound of a guitar than the guitar itself.
So, "Which Guitar Rocks Hardest"? The one (any one) played through the hardest rocking amp!
