Members ParryPerson Posted August 23, 2009 Members Share Posted August 23, 2009 I have to let my gibby go to pay of some debts sadly. I was wondering what you guys might think a good prog rock/metal guitar would be around 500-800 bucks or so? I know tone is subjective, and I do like a wide range of them, but I'm more of a darker kind of tone lover, if that helps at all. It's sunday and all the shops around me are closed! heh.

Members MichaelSaulnier Posted August 23, 2009 Members Share Posted August 23, 2009 I'd take a look at the PRS SE series... At your price range, you could even upgrade the pickups if you wanted something different from the stock ones. If I had to say which model, I'd suggest the singlecuts. They seem to have pups that fit the more "modern / metal" sound more than the others I've tried. The playability of the guitar, especially the neck, should be easy to adapt to!

A guy I work with just picked up this guitar, it plays really nice and is built really wellAfter trying a ton of guitars (we work in a music store) he norrowed it down to the SE and a Godin Freeway with SD pickups as the best quality for the money He is going to be teaching guitar (mostly metal) and he was looking for a decent metal guitar under $1000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members buddhapaugh Posted August 23, 2009 Members Share Posted August 23, 2009 Godin. Both the Velocity + Freeway series would be right up your alley. Great guitars for the coin! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
