I play metal N metal, and yes more metal. My first guitar was an Encore e1, that fell down the stairs so that doesn't count, I moved onto a Peavey predator EXP w/floyd and white binding, picked it up for about 180. It was steal awsome guitar, meets my needs.
I have a randall Rh100 G2 head and a marshall AVT :rolleyes: 4x12 cab, (it sounds ok (they are celestions))
My rig is well suited to my music style but I want a new guitar for about 200 pounds that will play metal well. i know there is an element of personal preferance but i want some direction on where to go. I was looking at the 1)Ibanez RG370Dx, I've seen some (online) with Infinity pickups and some with powersound. by things I have read Inf are the ones to be had. But also things dont come as the picture.
2) some kind of jackson dinky.
3) just saw one today. A cort X6 are they any good? body looks quite nice.
4) maybe a Bc rich, I like the bitch and mocking bird shapes

Basically I need a metal axe.

Thanks

Ps are morley Wahs anygood?
 
yeh they have the 3 piece wizard 2 necks I think.
I was looking at the edge 3 trem, I've got a floyd rose Orig and its perfect. I would like a wrap around bridge that looks sort of like the tuna :D matics.
I wont go for the 370DX. on harmony central it says that cheap jackson = £$%^
and cheap Ibanez = value. How cheaply can a jem be found for?

I'm loving the look of Ibanez RG350DX (has edge :( )
I would like it to be white or black.
I got about 270 pounds

I'll use it along my main guitar. I love my peavey, it plays like a dream, honestly.. you know how you become so attached to a guitar?
are the esp ltd f series any good? I love the shape.
Is the RG321 the 6 string version of the RG7321?, I am just asking as I'm wondering if the build quality is as good.
I would like a white guitar as well, I think they look awsome. has the edge bridge got the same mounting holes as a floyd? because I would be interested in Ibanez RG350DX its white, and I could replace the bridge. I read that Mick thompson has a fixed bridge version of the edge maybe that is an option?

Can you guys see what I'l after here?
1. =< £270
2. = Stat shape
3. Black or white
4. 2 humbuckers
5. not bothered about what kind of bridge ti is as long as it is good.
 
yeh I dont play 7 stringers so the RG321 is the one? but the colour options. it has blue or weathered black, I WANT WHITE :mad: :mad: :mad: lol
or shiny black.

ESP F series?
 
Nah it says its weathered black. I cant find any shops which have these guitars in atm, Sound control, rhythm house, kays or route 66 dont have them (I live in stoke btw)

what music except korn could I play on a seven string?

yeh well I want to get it right. do you know if oyu have to pay for a guitar first if you want to try it out at sound control, becuase they dont have it in they ill have to order it. would I need a deposit? hope that makes sense
 
ooofff holy thread revival :eek: :eek: in the end I waited untill christmas and got the esp m200 fm. its a beast, only one problem with it I think I've got a dud E string lol, no clarity to it and I cant get pinch harmonics out of i for some reason that 1 string sounds crappy.. is there such a thing?
