whats the best guitar i can get with 800 bucks??

[turtlemuscle]

ya, the Hamers are not too bad at all! my only dislike for them is the finishing and playability. but the sound is good.

if i am not wrong, there are some PRS below $1000?

 

[moggie_54]

$800?? Why not get the Ibanez SZ320?? A lot of good reviews coming from it..

 

[Scream_ed]

playability...heck yeah, that reminds me. I played a Yamaha RG something 2 Saturdays ago, and I was amazed at the guitar's quality and playability, and of cos the sound. What compounded the awe was that the axe was going for under $500! Man, if I can get that kinda standard from a Yamaha electric, I reckon my next axe would be a Yamaha, more or less.

So, erm, check out Yamaha stuff too?

Hmm

Why not take a look in the guitar shop instead? We can all recommend but ultimately he gotta go down to a guit shop to play & feel it b4 he decides to buy rite?

[MadWerewolfBoy]

JEM JR rocks! :supz: rayer:

eee cheapo one.. i think they charge mostly for the endorsement thingy with vai... in the end u get a product worth only half of what u're paying...

 

[tany]

i bought the JEM JR for its looks. didnt know anything though, but it was going at $520.

now i learnt my lesson, must seek advise! but i still like my JEM JR so i'm upgrading parts, pups, bridge etc... :lol:

 

[mamemo]

btw do you want a fixed bridge or floyd rose?

 

[moggie_54]

I wonder why does this Topic has up to 7 pages?? Amazing.. 8)

 

[khai_stereotype]

dsf

well, guitars goes a long way...

anyway,, wads the diff or fixed bridge and flyod rose? enlighten my man.

 

[neuro182]

Hmm

fixed bridge is fixed. floyd rose bridge is floating & allow you to do double locking as well as dive bombs.

 

[khai_stereotype]

as

so then again, issit possible to install flyod rose to a Tokai LP?

but according to my common sense, its a no?

 

[tany]

no, unless u pay a lot to customise it. but LPs arent meant to have whammy 8)

 

[mamemo]

fixed bridge is pretty much um fixed bridge, stays there and doesnt move.
pros:
-easy to restring/tune
-you can change tunings on the fly.
cons:
-of course, no divebombing like vai or whammy effects.

Floyd rose is a knife edge floating bridge. Exists in many different form, Original or licensed(inferior). Some ibanez tremolos are known to be of good quality though, even though its a licensed version.

pros:
-whammy of course, and divebombs and those tricks.
cons:
-a hassle when it comes to changing strings, especially when you're a beginner, get someone to teach you
-you cant change tunings on the fly, like you can with a fixed bridge, so when jamming, stick to one tuning.
-when not set up properly, may cause tuning problems.

 

[nak]

i think there's something special about floyds about something like their harmonics turn out better or smth.

but i prefer a fixed to a floyd. not so leichei haha

 

[khai_stereotype]

sada

mamemo,

thanks for the enlightenment..
but i think i'll stick to the fixed bridge.

cause 1stly, i'm lazy to tune.lol(if its a hassle)
2ndly, if i wanna divebombs and stuffs,
i'm afraid i might not jump around and moving alot on stage. i love headbangin too.
