Fender are a very classic company. Their models dont change very frequently. The telecaster is a versitle guitar with usually two single coil pickups that give out a country twang or a big alternative crunch. I can find that i can get a very heavy sounding, not metal like, but full. These are not as comfortable as the next guitar, the Stratocaster. They have three single coils and a 3-5 way switch. With this comfortable guitar, you can get many tones for many many genres of music. I would say if you go for alternative and also like to play some other genres sometimes, the fender strat would be for you. As for ibanez, they are also versitle but are better suited to stay in the rock/metal category. The height on the strings are very low making it easy to play fast and play powerchords but they dont handly regular chords too well. I find that on some the lower frets buzz a bit when playing a chord. But the pickups are humbuckers and are more beefy then that of the fender. Ibanez are also cheaper than the fenders. You can get a very nice and nice playing fender which is bottom of the line for the same price as a almost top of the line ibanez. All in all, it all depends on your price range your in. Cheaper- buy the ibanez, A little more money- go for the fender.

Line 6 vs peavey vs Marshall vs fender vs ibanez for amplifiers?

Line 6 for metal. Peavy is good for everything. Marshall is good for rock and metal. Fender has amazing clean sounds. Ibanez I'm not sure about but i doubt they are very good. Marshall, or Mesa Boogie but they are very expensive.


Should I buy an ibanez Jem or fender stratocaster for hard rock and shredding?

That's a matter of opinion - some like the Strat because it's more versatile, others like the Ibanez because it's a more specialized sound. If you're playing strictly lead, and shredding, you may prefer the Ibanez. But I would try them both.
