Advice on guitar sound needed for heavy/powermetal (mp3)

[Macke/Crystal Light]

Hi,

I am testing my guitars to see which one (well, might use more than one) to record on our next album. The music is heavy/power metal. I have played a basic riff with 3 different guitars and would like to have some comments on which guitar sound you prefer. So any input is welcome.

I think I prefer the third guitar. Not a big difference though.

i prefer the second one. (seems to have more "balls")

Thanks for your input guys!

I am myself a bit undecided if I prefer git 2 or 3. I guess I need to use both.

The guitars in the test was: git 1: LTD EC-401 with EMG 81, Git 2: LTD LH-300 with EMG hz and git 3: and old ESP Mirage body with Charvek neck with SD JB A2
