I'm an aspiring artist who is in the market for a solid-body electric guitar. I need suggestions on guitar manufacturers and companies. And opinions on the following: Fender, Gibson, Squire, Washburn, Epiphone, Ibenez, and Dean. Any advice from people who own/have owned any of these guitars is appreciated. 5's for all even if you're being a jerk. (link)

I have a Fender Strat, made in Mexico - it is perfectly good guitar.
I'm not overly fond of the necks on Gibson guitars, particularly the Les Paul - I love the sound, just don't like the feel of them.
Squire guitars are cheap-ass Fenders - generally a much poorer quality - if you want a serious instrument, DON'T get one.
Washburn - no real opinion formed about them.
Epiphone - very much like Gibson, given their tied history... they are good quality instruments.
Ibanez - I have been an Ibanez fan for years. I have an Ibanez 5-string bass... I love it. Their student-model instruments are on par with the Fender Squiers and other such low-end units, but their other guitars are very well made.
Dean - they look very pretty. However, I can't say that they are good instruments - they are very pretty though... I'm not overly fond of Dean, they are made to look nice and be inexpensive, but I'd rather pay more and get an axe that I know is going to last a while.
The biggest thing I can tell you though, is to try out many guitars that you've deemed to fall into your price range - and choose on how it sounds and how it feels in your hands... if you don't like how the instrument feels, why would you get it? Choose a guitar that feels comfortable to you.
