Hello!
I need a cheap guitar that won't leave my flat at all, will be used for home practice (Line6 Pod -> headphones) and some small-scale home recording. I've been looking through offers of used guitars here in Poland and so far I've encountered those mentioned in the title in good prices and they are totally fitting my needs: Ibanez RGA42 (2008), Washburn X50 (Indonesia) and LTD H251, all mahogany, no-tremolos, 24 frets, just what I need.
So, I need straight answers, which to choose and why, they all come in similar prices and similar condition, pickups will be replaced in near future anyway, so don't be concerned by such details, just a matter of being better/worse in general quality, the most important thing is playing comfort and good craftsmanship.
I am aware that it's hard to judge without playing each of them, but I don't have such possibility. I've owned several Ibanez guitars, mostly Japanese, and several LTDs, mostly Deluxe and I liked both of them in terms of playing comfort (neck, craftsmanship, etc). Never had a Washburn before. Guitar will be used mostly for some technical and metal stuff, like Protest The Hero, The Human Abstract, Death, etc. Personal experience in giving opinions on those guitars will be much appreciated.
I know my request may sound quite stupid, but I always have problems with making choices, whether it's about ice cream flavor or a guitar. Thanks in advance guys, I know you will help me
