What kind of guitar should I buy?

Postby KTownEgghead » Sun Feb 08, 2009 11:09 pm

Well, I've decided that I should get a new guitar. I have a Digitech Death Metal pedal and a crap Burswood amp.

I have $200-$350 to spend, and some left over for a decent amp. Any suggestions?

Depends what you want. Do you want something with style and looks cool or do you want something with great sound or something that is easy to shred on?

Something between a deep and dirty sound and is very flexible with different amps. To me, the look of the guitar is just a plus.

either recommend http://www.zzounds.com/item--ESPEX50

or

http://www.zzounds.com/item--ESPEX260

The EX50 is more entry-level with ESP standard pickups, whereas the 260 comes stocked with EMG's.

Bass, Mandolin, Banjo, and Guitar. Surprising there is no 10 string guitar.

I just bought an FX260. Like it very much. Better than an EC50 anyways, which was my second option.

Ha, the FX260 was the one I was looking into. I'm liking it a lot :D I'll look around a little more, and if I don't find anything that is superior, I'll probably go for it :P

I must say that you have an excellent taste in guitars, good friend! XD

Remember to never buy a guitar without trying it out first. That's a must.

I meant on the guitar and I meant to say 12 string anyway. Most double guitars have a 6 string and a 12 string.
