Hi ppl. I'm going move on from acoustic to electric and need help in choosing an electric guitar package (guitar+amp). My budget is 400 maximum (I know its kinda tight but hopefully i can get a decent guitar). Basically i intend to play genres such as j-rock, metal and screamo (killswitch engage, children of bodom, slipknot, bullet for my valentine, silverstein, etc)
Basically, after doing a little research, two guitars caught my attention.
1) Timbre SR200 (http://standardvalue.com.sg/store/index.php?act=viewProd&productId=4)
2) LTD F-10 (http://www.espguitars.com/guitars/ltd-standard-deluxe/f-10.html)
I have read many good reviews and comments about the timbre guitar and it fits into my budget really well. But my primary concern is if it can handle the genres i intend to venture into. I've also read in the internet some people saying that strats are not the "metal" type of guitar. How true is this? Let say if i fit a humbucker into this guitar, can it play metal well?
The LTD guitar seems to be the guitar that can handle "heavier" styles from what i've read. Do they sell this guitar in singapore and if they do, where? What is the minimum price i can get this guitar with an amp for? How much does a ltd f-50 guitar package cost though i think it will bust my budget?
My basic requirements for the guitar is as listed below
1) Can handle the genres i intend to play well
2) Good quality consistently (No uneven frets, etc)
3) Can upgrade in the future to make a better guitar
Currently, it seems like i am swaying towards buying the ltd f-10 guitar. I'm sorry for asking so many questions and being so fussy. Pls feel free to list out some other guitars that is able to suit most of my requirements. After all, the purpose of creating this thread is to get all your valuable inputs. Brand is not important, but the way it plays and sounds is. This time, i want to make a informed choice when buying an electric guitar. Thanks a million in advance!
