If I were you I would get a Veriax, they’re my favorite kind of guitar.

well i personally like the rich outlaw one, its simple and it can be used for anything, but I’d stay with simple.

It’s either, the Laguna, the Schecter or the last one. I’m all for the Laguna.

It’s a different answer for each person. You need to play each guitar yourself and weigh the pros and cons. Each guitar, even though the same Manufacturer and model, plays different… So you really need to play each guitar… and pick your favorite one. From looking at the photos of your 5 guitars you like… Some have whammy bars (read below) and some do not. They all appear to be nice playing guitars… but I think once you actually pick them up and start playing each one… you’ll be able to round it down to your favorite 1-3. And out of those 1-3 you like best… they all will be just fine. Main point here is to GO PLAY THEM… see for yourself what YOU like best. I play a Steinberger model GL7TA. Never played the guitars you picked above, but they all look just fine.

Some things to keep in mind:
1. Action: The distance from the strings to the frets… I like LOW action… so I don’t need to press down the strings that far… easier on the fingers. If the action is too low… you’ll get string buzz… So you need to play each string from the 1st fret up to the 24th fret and listen for buzzes. You can always have the music store adjust the action so it doesn’t buzz.
2. Pickups: My Steinberger model GL7TA has 2 pickups. Some guitars have 3 pickups. More pickups give you more variety of sounds. If you want to play country music… for sure get a guitar with the three pickups. There are single coil pickups (The more narrow looking ones, usually more treble sounding) and double coil (The wider looking pickups, usually more bass sounding). So listen to guitars with 2 or 3 pickups and listen to the different sounds you get.
3. Whammy Bar: I need a guitar with a whammy bar because I like playing Eddie Van Halen’s music. There are some whammy bars that bend more than others. You need to decide if you want a whammy bar or not. If yes… You need to try the different whammy bars out… Some bend really low… some are hard to push down, etc.
4. Active EQ, Passive EQ: My guitar has Active EQ… I need a 9 volt battery in my guitar for the active EQ… I have Treble and Bass knobs all in one knob location as well. Sometimes Active EQ can make a buzzing sound due to electrical interference… Like the dimmer to my light in my room… If the dimmer is not all the way up to the brightest setting… I will get a buzz sound… and the buzz gets louder the more I dim my lights with the dimmer. It’s because the lights, the dimmer, the outlet my amp is plugged in are all on the same circuit. You don’t have these issues with Passive EQ, and passive EQ does not need a 9 volt battery. Active EQ though seems to sound better in my opinion when things are working great, no buzzes. Buzzes are annoying when I am trying to record my guitar parts when creating music.
5. Weight: I owned a Gibson Les Paul Custom (Black, White, Gold) and it was way too heavy, it got out of tune a lot, and the pickups would feedback very easily. I hated that guitar. It looked so cool though. My Steinberger GL7TA never has getting-out of tune issues, the EMG pickups don’t feedback unless I want them to, it weighs only 7 pounds (easy on the back), and has a whammy bar… My Gibson Les Paul Custom did not have a whammy bar.
6. Looks: Get a guitar that looks good to you. Some people like the way my guitar looks, some think it’s ugly… All that matters is that I like the way it looks. Same goes for you when buying your guitar.

Those are some things to keep in mind when picking between your guitar choices.
