Please help me find a guitar for metal.

[morten.nu]

First and foremost requirement: it has to ROAR. I think the tone I'm going for is only possible with active pickups. I had a Yamaha RGX1220A that had a sound I liked (unfortunately I sold it a couple of years ago, and I haven't found any for sale now - well, the trem system sucked ayway).

Fixed bridge preferred.

Non-pointy body shape preferred.

Price max. €500 (don't mind buying used). Yes, I'm in the EU.

Any advice appreciated!

Hey there - I'm Danish.

That LTD has a FR, which I'd rather avoid. The colour isn't me either. Thanks anyway, man.

I'm looking at an Ibanez RGT6exfx priced at @ €400, like new condition. What do you think?

ibanez guitars are not bad but honestly, i'd save some few more euros and get this one.

GUITAR

cheers

If you want a 7 stringer, i can recommend the Viper 417 which you can have for i think around 650 USD.
An example of how its older brother Viper 407 slays almost everything:

Not looking for a seven-stringer, but thanks.

Any input on the Ibanez RGT6EXFX?

I dont know about every specific Ibanez guitar, but I know Ibanez guitars in general tend to be an excellent bang for their buck. My friend has an XPT700, and he says it's still his favorite guitar he's played, and I think that was like $700. Doesn't have EMGs though.

Just make sure to get a kickass setup!
