I have saved something about $2000 and I want to get a new Electric Guitar and Amp.
Actually I had the idea to spend $1500 on the Guitar and $500 on amp. (and maybe save more $100 to buy a new distortion unit, something like Digitech Metal Master, I already have a Zoom G1M Multi-effect)
But I am so worried about getting a new Guitar! I don't want something that later I won't like to play it.
I play bands like Machine Head (90% of the week) , Metallica, Lamb of God, Mastodon, Judas Priest...
I want a guitar that sounds heavy enough... I was thinking of something with EMG Pickups.
If the guitar has 24XJ Frets it would be awesome! I want V or Explorer shape. (and les paul does not matter either I guess)
I want to perform live with my new Guitar...
I usually change tunings a lot.
I want a comfortable neck.I won't have the chance to test the Guitar before buying it cause I want to tell my friend to bring it for me from South Africa. Where I am Guitars are sooo damn expensive.
I was thinking of these:
1. Gibson Explorer Black with White Pickup Guard (and later install EMGs on it)
2. Gibson Flying V
3. Jackson Phil Demmel King V (I've heard many good things about this one, it has EMG 81-60, 24XJ Frets, the only problem is Floyd Rose, my friend said I can use Tremol-No! Does it really work?)
4. LTD EC1000
What do you suggest me to buy?
P.s: I don't want ibanez.
