Solo/Lead guitar !!!!

[Skyweaver]

I had to share this....

I've been looking for a lead guitar (got a great rhythm guitar) for a long time now and spent a whole day here and there trying what the shops had.....i had a 1960 re-issue of Gibson in my eye, but some bastid bought it, so I kept looking over that last 4 months and finally I found something.

Guitars tried

Gibson Les Paul (Customs, Classics)
Fender USA ( Ritchie black more, through to mex strats, jag etc)
Jackson (4K guitars !! tried two of them)
Ibanez (will never own another Ibanez again)

Finally I tried a flying V Schecter - nice...very nice, then the guy hands me a Schecter BlackJack - FUCK ! I've got a CHUBB !!!! what a fuckn great fiddle !!!

That's a pretty wide variety of guitars. I guess you should be glad the gibby sold since you saved a grand!

Oh yeah, here is a rebate if you didn't know.

thanks for that, I don't think the rebate applies here in OZ, I'm just really blown away by how much better the Floyd Rose is compared to the tremolo on the Ibanez RG3120, the tone and sustain is so much better

Schecters <3

really love schecters, amazing value guitars, i love my C1 Hellraiser FR

Yeah, Schecters are good, I'd recommend the Blackjack that has the JB and '59 in it. Either that or go the Hellraiser route for active EMGs. Blackouts blow.

Schecters are awesome. I'll get a Loomis 7 soon.

He saved more than a grand down here. Nice score dude!

I tired the blackjack with emgs and tried schecters with JB and '59, didn't stand up to the blackouts, loved it for solos - probably wouldn't use it for rhythm, prefer a T500 there

Oh man, I hated the Blackout bridge I had for leads (well, I hated it for rhythms too, but for leads it was even worse IMO, very grainy/nasty sounding to my ears )
