Once Again!

[The-Warlord]

Hi guys..still my new guitar. Well, I got my GCSE results, and..they were GOOD!. An A in music
I know i have posted this so many tims before..
Anyway, my dad VERY nicely gave me 1k..So! Guitar buying time!!!
I'm still thinking of the S470QXM..Or..basically this si my ideal guitar:
1. Nice thin neck for good lead work
2. Mahog or something body so i have thick sound, like les paul, not tinny tinny sound of light guitars,
3. H-H pickups, I dont mind H-s-H, but does the S get in the way?
4. Trem, either traditional fender style or Flyod Rose style,,,would prefer fender style.

Heres a q: If I buy the S470QXM and buy some nice pickups for it...how will it be for what Im looking for? Or can you suggest any other similar guitars? My budget is, including guitar and new pickups, around 1.5k. Thanks!

Im a little all over the place here..stilla little giddy from my.."bonus"

Well, if you have heard what my S520 with H-H and a floyd rose can do, and the sounds it can conjure... go for the S. Its really versatile, handles everything from pop to rock, blues to jazz and metal.

Note that with your single coil, you'll be getting even more tones than mine IMO.

Btw, congratulations!!!!!

Is that a phone? If a phone calls and sends messages its good enough - get a new amp man! Or some guitar effects! Guitar = music = metal = life!

Were you talking to me. any guitar that you think you can pound on is perfect, all i can say is if you DID have your heart set on something too expensive, you should WAIT man, dont fucking get something half ass just cause you CAN...

 

[wangdexian]

Wtf? He wasn't talking to you man.

The S520 is overpriced this year and the S470 has more features for a cheaper price... I'd say go for the latter.

 

[ShredCow]

Yeap, go for the S470.

My S520EX from 2002 cost me $1070 back then.

 

[wangdexian]

That's a steal. :lol:

 

[ShredCow]

That's a steal. :lol:

Well... actually... all I did was become a member and I got it at that price. It was $1800. :lol:
