Which guitar to buy?

[wchuck]

I'll buy a new guitar but can't really decide which firm.
I would buy an ESP, but what would you suggest?

 

[Kenneth R.]

depends on your playing style, experience, and purposes

 

[wchuck]

Well it I very often play metal/rock
so it should be good for those thing but chords (softer things) should also sound good.

 

[Horus]

Well, it also depends on your budget, would it not?

 

[wchuck]

hmpf lol...
ok lets say about 600 $

 

[Horus]

LTD MH-400.

 

[wchuck]

hmm thx but they I don't like the style and there's no, lol I don't get the name...,this lever with which you can bend all the strings.

 

[Horus]

Are you talking about the tremolo? If you don't like that, then just get an ESP 30th aniversary guitar.

 

[wchuck]

lol, yes tremolo, thx

 

[wchuck]

If you don't like that, then just get an ESP 30th aniversary guitar.

There's no tremolo as well


What's your opinion about the "ESP LTD MH50" ?
It's quite cheap, but is it good?

 

[Kenneth R.]

cheap is usually an indication of low quality, though you might find an occasional deal

 

[Horus]

Not always. My local music shop (where I hope to get a job) has some amazing guitars for about $2-300.

 

[wchuck]

hmm the "ESP LTD MH50" cost about 300 $, I would like to get it but I don't know if it's good.

My advice is to save up a little more money and buy a nicer guitar that you think you need. When you progress as a player a cheap jelopy will only limit you with things like bag action, dead spots on the board and loss of sustain. Check out Schecter guitars they make great guitars and arent overpriced.

 

[wchuck]

hard to get them in germany
MAybe I would go for ESP or Yamaha and maxium 600/700 $

You should seriously consider Ibanez. They have great low priced guitars and excellent high priced ones for the more experienced player. Ibanez rules. (at the moment I'm using a Jackson KE3 but seriously.... Ibanez.... )

I know a person who has a KE3. I'm actually considering getting it and dropping an EMG set in it.

It`s a great guitar, EMG`s would make a nice add-on too. Its definetly my favorite Jackson just cause the shape is very comfy to play, the tone qualities rock and the lightning fast neck/fingerboard. Its an overall kickass guitar.

just looks a bit weird
