It´s funny. You didnt posted Gibson (Les Paul/SG) and Fender(Stratocaster of course)
The old metal bands, the beginners, as Black Sabatt, Tommy with his SG and Richie Blackmoore of Deep Purple with his Strat are icons that are attached forever.
And if you say HARD ROCK, well baby, the Les Paul is the weapon of choice.
For the 80´s, yeah, Ibanez, Jackson and E.S.P. raised the flag for this kind of music.
Also, and may i say saddly, those guitars were cheaper than today and some of those guitars had a great quality. But not, Ibanez, cause their quality was not a constant on every model. Some of their axe´s were pieces of woods with strings..... but the RG series were the standard for many beginners and nowadays is a great axe that stills were it should be in quality with relation on the price. So, if its metal, you cant go wrong with Ibanez.
But ESP and Jackson are heavy artillery
...but expensive one...
