Choosing a good rock guitar

[xFkx]

So... right now my guitar collection consists of:

Ltd EC-1000: My main rock/metal guitar, could be a rock guitar but the emg's tilt it towards metal

Schecter Hellraiser 6 String: Breakdownzcore guitar

Schecter Hellraiser 7 String: Djentbreakdownzcore guitar


Right now i'd like to get something more vibey, especially since i've started to jam with a bunch of musicians lately and trying to expand my musical vocabulary.

Right now i'm thinking of this:

But i've always had a weakness for telecasters, so i'm thinking of picking this up, but changing the bridge pick-up to a humbucker (which one?)

I know some might suggest gibson or music man, but i'm trying to stay low budget on this one.

Anyone have any experience with the mentioned parker or tele ?

the old series Tremonti SE was rather nice

The Peavey Wolfgang is my current favourite rock guitar. Though when I worked in a guitar store out of the thousands of guitars there my go to always a Tremonti SE, Lasse has it spot on there.

The Schecter Blackjack is a good cheap rock guitar.

Otherwise PRS Custom 24.

If you want something that combines the looks and feel of a Tele with the meaty sound of a Les Paul, check out the Fender Custom Tele's:

I have Tele with a Duncan HotRails in the bridge...and I love the way it sounds! But then again, I don't typically do "metal" by the modern terms, except on a few occasions. It works perfectly (for me) for rock stuff.

Nah man, i've got enough "metal" guitars... anywho, i had a chance to play the tremonti se a few years ago and it was ok, but didn't capture me.

But this does empower my tele love:

I like white guitars.

But seriously. Tele or Jazzmaster. Both have serious attitude
You've got enough Humbuckers.

My wife got a Ibanez Telecaster Custom with a lil 59 on the bridge and it rocks. So, a Tele with a mini humbucker is win-win. Otherwise, the Schecter Blackjack is awesome, as Ermin suggested.

i always found the cheap PRS' were really murky. Not a fan.

yep, that's the new series.
if you find an old Korean Tremonit you have a killer axe.
