6 string for metal

[sleepy502]

you can get used ltd 400 series for cheaper than that.

avoid floyds on cheap guitars like the plague.

Learn to play 7 string...

 

[vampiregenocide]

Charvel DST-3FR

Ibanez Falchion

Jackson WRXMG

BC Rich Joey Jordison Warlock (I think it looks pretty brutal)

They're all relatively low-end, metal-looking guitars with FRs.

You know I'm not one for pointy guitars but DAMN that Ibanez Falchion looks sexy.

 

[Viginez]

Thanks for the suggestions so far!

For those who posted the Stealth and Xiphos, I didnt mean I need another x-shaped guitar like the Stealth!

Well I didn't see that. That widens the pool of potential guitars greatly, and so we could post dozens of instruments, which would be pointless.

Eventually bought a BC Rich Warlock NJ Deluxe!

 

[DarkRain93]

looking for a 6 string to play strictly deathmetal

need a FR and specs comparable to the BC Rich Stealth 7.

budget is $500.

any recommendations?

You play all kinds of death metal or just a specific like Brutal death?
Cause I'd say Esp or Jackson; Schecters are metal but i don't if it looks brutal enough, i mean the gothic inlays and all the other shiny things on it. I've seen mean Jacksons for death metal old and new for both music wise and instruments. Also BC rich too but you already have one , good choice, especially 7 string \m/

I see what you did there!

I'd just look around for a used guitar, I bet you could score a really really fine Ibanez for $500 if you get lucky. Try everything you can get your hands on!

It's impossible, can't be done. Not enough strings.

In all seriousness, look for a used LTD EC-1000. They're great metal guitars <3

Six strings sound a lot different to 7's which is why in about a week I'll no longer be a 7 string guitar player

There's nothing I can think of on the market which has the same specs as the Stealth 7.
