So I've jamming away on my dad's 30 year old vintage ibanez (which is heavy as shit btw) with .9 strings drop-tuned to A# for the last month...and I'm pretty sure I could use a new guitar
nothing expensive. Not going to be plugged into an amp - all direct for now. I need something better to be able to record my ideas for songs when something pops into my head. I'll be taking this to college this year and want to be able to record in my dorm room as well.
Was thinking schecter S1, or esp viper-400? Can get either for around $300 used.
What would you think of buying a cheaper guitar like schecter omen-6 and then buying EMGs later down the road when I get $? Would that end up making it the same as a higher end guitar or do the higher end guitars have better wood/tuners/bridge/etc? I can get an omen-6 or an ESP F50 for like $150 and they seem like the same guitar as the S1/v-400 just with shitty pickups.
