Some advice please.

[Phil]

Hello, I am new here.
I am considering between the Ibanez JEM-JR, Ibanez RG321MHWB and the B.C Rich Warlock.
I favour Ibanez, and am hoping for some suggestions and advice. Or are they any other Ibanez that you guys recommend?
My budget is around $600-700++, there about.
I heard that the Jem Jr sucks, and that the Warlock is more or less only for metal. And I do not see the RG321MHWB in SweeLee, so was also wondering where in the world can I get my hands on one.
And what about the RG320?
I really need help on this matter, thank you all.

the JEM JR sux but it's great to mod...

i got mine for $560 because i saw it for looks. i think my version was better produced, and the walnut color has be discontinued...

anyway i replaced the trem with a gotoh 2nd hand $100 and now it's great axe!

hmm... actually... considering the guitars, you do have to make a decision whether you use a trem bridge or not. if you don't, the RG321 looks to be a good buy.

RG350, RG370, RG320 ..... Jem JR, stay away, RG321 has a fixed trem, not an Edge 3, which doesnt really matter, just that i suggest these 3 axes... color may suit you more and stuff ...

2nd hand RG550/570? Comes with Edge/Lo Pro Edge trem and has very good build quality.

I believe there are some on Yahoo Auctions SIngapore. 1 is going for like $380? But quite abused. ANother is mint but @ $800 which is $150 too high.

if you don't see them on display, please enquire their availability. in any case, i've asked on your behalf: as at 23rd Nov, both the blue/ black versions of the RG321 are available.

deciding on a specific bridge type is undeniably a headache, especially when there are plenty of opinions/ suggestions. if you don't whammy, it's sensible to opt for a fixed bridge not because it's a better option, but a more rewarding one when it comes to re-stringing your instrument.

you might want to use whammy later, if you want to produce some funky sounds or experiment stuffs. RG 350 and 370 DX is your price range. They are decent guitars.

Thank you all very much.
The 321 sounds great (Thanks Subv), what about the Warlock?
Anyone knows anything about it?
The one at Davis is going for 900, it comes with another axe, which is damn ugly. After inquiry, the Warlock is 800 minus the accompanying axe.

 

[ShredCow]

Strange. I mean, why not 2nd hand?!

 

[Phil]

Which of them has the F.Rose? It's going to be troublesome dealing with it right? I'm uncertain.
2nd hand can also be considered, but I am not sure where to go for 2nd hands aside from the classified ads here.
Any deals?
Thanks anyway.

If you prefer fixed bridges, i would suggest the 321 then ...
