The electric guitar is the most beautiful instrument

I'm sure most people would agree. It has an unfair advantage, though, because it can be made to sound like so many different things.

It is a beauty, but I've always loved the sitar.

They say it takes 6 lifetimes to master.

Even if you were talking about acoustic instruments only the acoustic guitar is the best. I think I might even like the acoustic guitar more than electric.

The electric guitar is more versatile, but I frequently find that some of my favorite songs from some of my favorite bands tend to be their acoustic songs. In fact, I think one of my favorite-sounding instruments is a 12-string acoustic.

I thought of the sitar when making this thread (other Indian instruments, very similar to the sitar, too, like the veena [used on Timothy Leary's Turn On, Tune, In, Drop Out movie/album]) but it just doesn't compare to the electric guitar, with all the elecric guitar's tunings.

if you're talking about best sounding, the berimbau is the best instrument, although it is hideous looking.

I want to learn the cello so badly but it won't happen, I have no talent and my memory is awful and everything I attempt gets fucked up

Electric guitars have accessibility and versatility, but are fairly based on mass appeal.
That is purely my opinion of course. I am sure someone who plays daily would disagree.
To me, Art is art, no musical instrument should be held on a higher horse than any other.
