Hello All I'm planing to buy an electric guitar and need some serious feedback on following models - 1) ESP LTD EC 400 / pick ups - SD JB59 set 2) Greg Bennett AV6 (but will replace stock pick ups with EMG 85/81 pickups) 3) Cort X-TH (Neck-thru with EMG 85/81 as stock pick ups). 4) Any other guitar you guys would like to suggest. My budget - Rs. 35,000 - 40,000. Playing style - classic rock / metal. I do not need a beginner's guitar so I'm ok to stretch my budget to Rs. 44,000 as well. Recently I have tried Cort X-TH in London and still could not believe that such a loaded guitar is quite cheap in India(Rs. 31,000) which cost around 670GBP here. I did fell in love with Shecter Hellraiser which is affordable in London but costs whooping Rs.65000 in India so that's out of question. Now I'm damn confused so kindly help. Thanks.
Dude frankly speaking people here don't play guitars which costs 35-40 grand so no one can give worthwhile reviews.. You better check the reviews of all the guitars you have mentioned on the internet.. i like ESP Eclipse very much...but that's not an advice for sure ..
Thanks guys for the replies. EC 401 is a good guitar with EMG 60/81 pickups but unfortunately that stretches my budget too much since I do need to buy a good processor. What do you guys think of AV6 and Cort X-th.
I agree the guitars in London are much cheaper but the problem is that of F@@king customs. Researched a lot on getting guitars in India without paying much customs but it is of no use..I'm still smitten by Shecter Hellraiser but can't bring it to India because of custom duties. Damn it !
I owned ESP LTD KH202 but sold it some 3 years back when stopped playing in bands. Now me & my mates might get back so looking for a good guitar as well as processor.
but you have to prove it that its for your personal use only... make sure it doesn't looks brand new.. remove all plastics before bringing..
if u want to play clasic rock,i encourage u to buy Fender,Ebanez or Lespol special2...... if u want to buy a good guitar dont care about the cost if u realy want,take your time and make some money to buy a good but expensive guitar..... this is my advice only if wrong forgive me!!!!!! all the best..... ~~~love guitar~~~
wrong. in my knowledge, he currently owns three, all esp ltd's: ec-401, ax-400, ex-cz(clockwork zombie) visit his fb profile to see his rig: kickass!
i have gibson les paul jr special plus for sale for rs 45,000. it is a 2004 model, but almost 9/10 condition. beautiful flame maple flat top, tummy contour like a strat (very rare in les pauls). i am in bangalore.
see this: https://indianguitartabs.com/showthread.php?t=45421 but the list of bands is incomplete.. in all there are some 23 bands
that's cool - dio was definitely a prominent vocalist of 70s/80s metal. hope they play his stuff from black sabbath and rainbow as well.
