Members caseykey118 Posted July 4, 2008 Members Share Posted July 4, 2008 Hey everyone, I know I haven't posted here in a while, but I'm just looking for some help. Anyway, I play hard rock, (and yes I do like the "radio tone"), also, I play some alternative and even some jazz. However, hard rock and metalish tones are my forte, so that's my main concern. Honestly, i've played a epi for the past 6 years so i'm more accustomed to the Les Paul body type, but I would definitely not mind a guitar like a Schecter... or Ibanez or anything "strat-like". I like Humbuckers more than single coils... and mostly play through a high gain amp head (VHT pittbull 50 watt). Now here's the crazy part... I only have around 600-700 for the guitar... unless I sell me epi, but that epi was my first guitar... if i sold the epi i'd have probably 1000 for a guitar. Give me some suggestions so i can have a NGD!! So..... pick my guitar!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members samuraiBSD Posted July 4, 2008 Members Share Posted July 4, 2008 Have you considered an SG? There's some nice ones from Edwards, or you can get a used Gibson SG (Special Faded or Standard...you can get them both for your price range) You might also consider a used Les Paul Studio, though I'm not sure if you want redundant body shapes. You could also consider a HH or HSS Strat...MIM fat Strat fits within your budget...in fact, you could buy two for the money you feel you could spend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members caseykey118 Posted July 4, 2008 Author Members Share Posted July 4, 2008 hmmm, i'm not a fan of that Hamer, but only because I do not like those weird body shapes. I'm more of a traditionalist in that sense haha, strat style or les paul style for me (SG's are cool too). I might check out an SG Standard..... anyone else have any other ideas?

Members ru with me drho Posted July 4, 2008 Members Share Posted July 4, 2008 Look at Godin, they make both Gibson and Fender scale necks. The LG and Freeway might be good choices for you. Great quality, good prices, made in North America.http://www.godinguitars.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
