dude everybody here seems to hate stranger...processor is gud for tht price as it also has a drum machine which zoom505 does'nt!!
$250-300 is too little to buy everything - especially you wanna buy something half-decent. Why don't you get a custom guitar made instead in that price - maybe a copy of something cool. Like a JEM for instance
i dont get it - u said u could spend upto 25k in mumbai right? and u also said ur dad would let u spend more - but then u reduced it to 300 dollars which is much less than 25k.... either ways... try and increase ur budget to 350 dollars only for guitar - get a decent one - then buy the processor and amp from india based on (if u liked them ) my recommnedations given eaarlier.
i said 300$ cause i had seen a some good guitars 4 250$ in a catalogue which my cousin mailed(not email) me.that shop is in queens,NY.so i said 300$.well then the amp and processor will be gettin frm india.
Check the Jackson DXMG at musiciansfriend.com for $309 (Black but slightly blemished)...good value....comes with EMG HZ (similar to 81/85 but passive)
blemished means a lil discoloured (or thats wat i read in a website) but even that looks fancy considering the price....
