Members lenster Posted November 12, 2008 Members Share Posted November 12, 2008 I'm on the look out for guitar with a floyd rose trem.the Jackson looks like good value and so does the Schecter, Then A mate says just save and buy quality ( Ibanez Jem 7V ) .I love the way the Schecter feels and plays (already owning one i might be a bit biased ) , The Jackson felt OK but not sure about them, then i played a Jem 7V , Very Niiice but price has got me . Any suggestions for something different , or which of these should i go for and WHY? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members angry again2 Posted November 12, 2008 Members Share Posted November 12, 2008 The BC Rich retro gunslinger seems to be a good deal. Original floyd, dimarzio pups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Yarbicus Posted November 12, 2008 Members Share Posted November 12, 2008 The BC Rich retro gunslinger seems to be a good deal. Original floyd, dimarzio pups. +1 here. You should also check out Cort guitars. They have several really nice guitars with OFR and either EMG or SDuncan pups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Mudder1310 Posted November 13, 2008 Members Share Posted November 13, 2008 Any of those you listed are great, the Jackson will be the cheapest used, probably around $400 or so. If you can justify the money I think the Jem is the killer of the bunch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members shredtilurded Posted November 13, 2008 Members Share Posted November 13, 2008 I'm a Jackson/ESP guy but out of that bunch I'd have to say(GASP!) the Jem7v.I don't really like Ibanez guitars but I gave one of those a test drive and it played nicely.

Members Burn Posted November 13, 2008 Members Share Posted November 13, 2008 Ibanez is the prettiest. And the nicest guitar among them if the Jackson isn't a USA model. Prestige Ibanezes, particularly JEMs are very well built guitars. I would save up and buy the best guitar I could afford. But of course my ideal setup is to own only one guitar and one amp, and I am obsessive about the most minute details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
