Hey guys, my wife´s left-handed and we´re looking to get her a new guitar soon, she´s had the same one for over 10 years and I´ve never liked it, and she´s starting to dislike it too. Hers is a Gibson Sg, good expensive guitar but it just doesn´t cut it for what we use it for. To play Doom/Death in our main band, it just doesn´t give the brootz like it should, specially for leads, too thin and scratchy, lacks body and creaminess. To play rock and roll in our cover band, we struggle to get a good sound out of it. Weird harsh highs, lacking lows, unstable mids.
So at this point we´re looking at all possible options, personally we love Les Pauls, but weight is a very important factor (she´s a wuss) so we´re kind of keeping them out of the question for now. Her dream guitar would be a PRS, but they´re expensive enough as they are, let alone finding a left-handed one. We´re thinking anything between Ibanez, Esp/Ltd, Jackson, any good stuff that might do the job, and we´re looking at anything between 300 to 1000 $, it´s not for right now so we have time to analize all the options. Also, we´re inclined towards passive pups, but we´re open to anything at this moment.
Throw some thoughts my way, please!
