What do you all think the best 6 stringer for playing metal is. I like to hear other opinions of people becuase ive bought many new guitars that was great for metal. I started off when i was learning with a Fender Strat but when i got into playing metal it sucked so I bout a Jackson KSXT. I used that for a while and it was a great sounding guitar but I wanted something better so I went to a gibson SG, Which I loved. I had a little extra money to so I bought an Ibanez with it. But so far I think gibson worked out the best for me I wanna know what all you think.?

The best guitar for metal is without a doubt B.C. Rich! Look at all the great metal musicians who are endorsed by B.C. Rich...from Kerry King to Deicide to Iced Earth to Max Cavalera to Slipknot.

disco my arse!
It depends on your personal feel of playing & listening.
I like Gibson sound the most (Anathema, Katatonia, the Gathering, Amorphis etc,etc), the huge, dirty sound it makes,
but almost any Ibanez or Jackson is also great (In Flames, My Dying Bride, Opeth's first two albums, Emperor....), it has more metallic, cleaner, 'straight' sound.

I play and recommend Ibanez guitars.
The main reason is that they are reasonably priced, and tend to have decent sounding pick ups. In my experience, most of the other guitars in a similar price range seem to have pretty dodgy sounding pickups.
