Recommend me a guitar please...

[juju]

Hi Guitar experts,
could you please do me a favour, I need some recommendations from you.

I am actually looking for a guitar with the following specs:

- mid-range and above price, but capped at SGD$1500
- must be H-S-H guitar,
- 25 1/2 scale,
- fixed, or 2-point fulcrum trem (ala wilkinson VS100G)
- 22 frets (medium/jumbo)
- body wood preferably alder, but open nevertheless

please, thank you guys. cheers!

s series would be fine

kinda hard to find considering ur budget.

Ibanez S Series seems to be the only thing I have in mind.

If you can sacrifice the middle pickup (I know, it must be H-S-H like you say, but you can consider this?), get the JS Series. JS100 costs 900.

I believe there are still some Ibanez Ergodyne series which you can look out for in Bras Basah Sweelee. Agathis body, I can't remember the bridge. 22 fretter with H-S-H. Costs around 600?

I say go with the S series.

Let's just say, once you go S... it's damn hard to go back!

Hmm, one of the makes of the yamaha pacifica comes to mind. Alder body too.

the PRS SE Std isn't HSH, but there are some split coil options to appease single coil fans.

from the ibanez range, guitars sporting a 2-point fulcrum vibrato bridge would be the SA series but none of which are HSH. but IMO a pickup swap (to make it an HSH) is worth the hassle. i have the SA260 in mind:

 

[Ratboy]

does 2 point fulcrum includes Floyd Rose Type bridge ?
get used ones lah
i use to see many ibanez Prestige going around that price in mint condition.

 

[KissMyAxe]

How about Ibanez JS1000 (Satriani Signature model)? Dont know whether you can get that with $1.5k or probably get a used one......

 

[MackSonne]

Check out the line of Yamaha guitars... A few gems there.

 

[kentheman2000]

Just hit the S line... It's seems like a very versatile guitar IMO... love the way the new ZR bridge helps ur tuning...

 

[tany]

lol get a JEM555!

 

[juju]

hi guys, thanks for your replies. you guys are great. cheers!

 

[gibbytones]

juju.. go look at schecter guitars at guitar77.
might find something there.

btw are you bernie?
just curious.

U cld try schecters, solid guitars with great tone. I'm kinda tiring over recommending Ibanez guitars to ppl. I always recommend the same one . No offence to Ibanez fans out there, i am a true-blue one too. Hmmmmm...........its a bit hard........if u dun mind H-H w/ coilsplit, i say a Schecter Omen 6. TOM w/ stringthru, jus install coilsplit and ur ready to roll. Basswood body and at only $360++ at Luther or G77. In fact, with ur budget, get 2 of 'em and with the remaining cash mod them like crazy to get the tone u want.
