What brand guitars are good for what style?

I heard different things about strats and Ibanez guitars
i'm looking for a good guitar for playing classic rock songs and songs like that of frank zappa and steve vai, i know zappa plays a modded SG and Vai plays his modded ibanez, just want your opinion on what is the best overall guitar for this type of music or what type of pickups are good. Thank you for any advice

Yo, to start things off, great taste in music man. I think you should look into guitars with humbuckers in it. ibanez and fender both have guitars equipped with humbuckers (ibanez rg, s, sz, etc..., Fender HSS, HH, SH) Ibanez usally have mahogany bodies wich is a more mellow sounding wood. Fender guitars have alder bodies which is a more balanced sounding wood than mahogany. Personally, for your choice in music I would go for an Ibanez, only cause most of them come equipped with the Edge tremolo and the HSH pickup combos. On the other hand if you want an awesome guitar that can handle anything, and can fork out the cash, see the Paul Reed Smith 513.
