good guitar recommendation?

[TheBreed]

im thinking of getting an ibanez electric. any good recommendation for the price of ard $700??

 

[nunob]

do you have any particular preferences? say jumbo frets 24 frets etc.

i'd personally recommend the SA260. i got mine at 600 buckeroos(after the discount).

 

[TheBreed]

hmm.. 24 fret is a must. i dun kind mind fix bridge. anyway, i was thinking of the PGM3, but its not fix bridge.

is it value for money?

 

[BlackMoo]

You might wanna try Ibanez RG series. I'd personally recommend the RG350 as its quite a hell of a unit for its price. Its 850, but 714 after discount. Has everything to suit your style of playing, 24 frets, Edge III floyd, looks cool too.

 

[nunob]

hmm then that rules out the SA260. yeah its really great value for money. it has 22 medium frets though..

i used to lust over that PGM3. looks really sexy. hah!

why limit yourself to ibanez? brands like schecter could fall into your price range too.

 

[Fruitwine]

also, u might want to explore the up and coming less known brands. many of these "cheaper" guitar brands are offering much better value for money nowadays. take a look all around. don't limit urself, as said by nunob.

 

[BlackMoo]

Also consider where its made. Seriously, theres no doubt made in China goods have a noticable QC difference than MI Korea (or anywhere else) for that matter.

 

[TheBreed]

yea the PGM3 is sexy, the white one. wow the more i think abt it, the more i Gian it....

or maybe should i go for 2nd hand ibanez?

 

[ItAcHi]

maybe u can try RG321...its within ur budget...do have a look on it...

RG321MH all the way.

 

[darkballa]

The PGM i thinkis going for 675 at Swee Lee right now. ALso saome Schecters at guitar77 and luthermusic. One of those has got to have 24 frets.

 

[Lifehouse]

I suggest scouring the web for 2nd hand RGs quite a good few deal every now and then.

 

[Vaiyen]

yea man, I was trying the rg321 today, and I really liked it. Nice neck, bridge, finish, feel.

 

[NewGuy]

Just wondering... I have heard Rg on distortion which sounds tight and great but how does it fair in the clean section? Is there any Rg that sounds nice clean and on distortion?

 

[BlackMoo]

the RGs with the V series pickups sound excellent clean.

 

[Vaiyen]

yea I'm selling the V8, if anyone is interested.

 

[NewGuy]

What are V series pickup? Then on distortion they are good too?

 

[BlackMoo]

Excellent cleans, above average distortion. But any replacement pickups definitely are better.

 

[subversion]

despite the killer look, the PGM3 sports a dismal floating vibrato bridge (ILT1). if you don't whammy, the RG321 is a more sensible acquisition. if you do, then get at least an Edge III equipped Ibanez model.
