It's time for some guitar shopping. The main thing I'm shooting for is a very comfertable smooth neck with really low action. I mean like super low, not to always stay in that position, but just to know it can go about as low is it ever needs to without buzzing horribly. Pretty much I'm shopping for comfort. Now my price range varies from 600-1000, which isn't much to deal with but I'd like to make the best out of it. I used to play strictly metal until recently I've been getting into new things such as Blues and even some classical peices, and looking for the right comfertable neck to help ease my progressing. I'm trying to stay away from Gibson Les Pauls if possible. I didn't like the necks to much, the pickups sounded somewhat fuzzy and classic rockish, and I don't find it comfertable sitting down, it seems to dip backwards. I'm really after a strat body guitar. I find them most comfertable.
My main choice so far is maybe a USA Deluxe Fender Strat, but they may be out of my price range. Also I'm still sceptical on how it would sound for jamming some random metal songs with my buddies. I know Iron Maiden gets great tone out of theres and also Mikeal from Opeth, but the thought of having to tune to C standard to jam some In Flames riffs on a Fender Strat kind of bugs me. Pretty much I'm just looking for some Fender stories and possibly even some clips of them in any style of music. Also any other recommendations are welcome, and stories of comfertable necks you have tried in the past. Hope to hear from you guys.
