$800-$1100 for a new guitar. What should i get? :O

[Psylix]

Well here are the few guitars i have been checking out:

- Schecter C-1/C-1 Plus(top on my list)
- ESP LTD EC-401
- Ibanez Jem Jr
- Epiphone Tony Iommi G-400
- Epiphone G-400
- Epiphone Prophecy SG Custom EX/GX

Thanks! i would gladly take any other recommendations! Personal experience etc Im into classic rock/hard rock/metal atm. Such as Gnr, AC/DC, Metallica, Black Sabbath etc. And yeahh even tho im into metal im not really a fan of Floyd Roses... stupid string changes haha THANKS AGAIN!

It's not stupid, just troublesome at times.

Have you tried all of them out?. If you haven't, have a go and then decide. If I were you, I would go for the Schecter.

Oh! A JEM JR has floating tremolo, an Edge III. Just FYI

 

[Psylix]

Right on haha.. woopss :/ yeaah but the Schecter is MIC thats my main problem... hard to trust :/

 

[mus]

MIC? Then go for something that will make your money worth.

 

[Psylix]

Made in China.. reliability issues :/ thx bro. any other recommendations?

 

[zac89]

how about a decent MIM or MIJ fat Strat? then if you'd like upgrade the pickups. should be well within your budget, and music preferences

 

[paultheman]

Get a godin. godin lg is not a bad choice because it uses p90 pickups which is very suitable for ur genre of music.

 

[paultheman]

btw godin guitars are also MIC. Made in Canada.

swing prism from standard value at woodlands or sv in peninsula! all the great quality hardware and workmanship in an affordable package. made in korea.

mesmerized by the piezo x-bridge...

its not tat much more difficult to change strings on a floyd rose equipped guitar
and how often do you change strings anyway ?

 

[mrekoj]

c1 classic ?

 

[Psylix]

thanks for the replies guys ill check them out. hmm i changem around like every 2-3 months? yeahh i really wanted the C-1 Classic but its pretty much over my budget.. haha BGW guitars quoted me a price of around 1.4k )): or ill take it any day.

 

[Psylix]

hmm yeah as i already own a strat style guitar(SSS).. im looking for a super strat/LP/SG shaped guitar with dual humbuckers.. kinda bored of the standard strat look haha.

i recommend you get a second hand guitar, you can check out blackwood guitars, they have pretty good second hand guitars, mia i think/
