hi all, after playing my acoustic for nearly 10 months, i think i can switch over to an electric guitar. the problem is that i know very little about electric guitars and their specs. i have a budget of areound 15k (including amp not including processor) . so plz suggest a few worthy guitars for me. ive heard givson guitars are not good. ive also heard that fenders are good. in ur reply if u can include any info abt hhow a particular spec matters in the overll quality of the guitar then thatll be great ! for eg. the fretboard wood or the pickups/action etc. in short .. you got to help me you :cen: !! (hehe)
Consider Tokai or Korean made Ibanez. They are quite good. What kind of music do you play? Is a floyd Rose important to you etc? Also consider some Les Paul copies - some are very good. I can recommend some names. I am selling an Epiphone Les Paul Custom but I'm afraid it's about 10k over your budget
well the kind of music id like to play wud be nething except for the death metal kind of stuff (it scares me .. hehe) . im generally more inclined to soulful music. so the sound quality really matters to me. les paul i heard are way beyond what budget i have. i saw ur guitar . looks cool but sadly.. u know.. so gimme the names u know abt and are really worth it . bye till then
u can get 10w marshall 4 abt 3.5 ,so 11.5 remains 4 ur guitar.u can buy the ibanez grx ones as fenders rnt ur type(death metal).
I think for ur budget of 11k for guitar(~4K for amp)..u shud go for a Kramer Focus with Floyd Rose, 21 frets, single single humbucker pickup config.......ull also get a Yamaha pacifica in the same range...ronnieanand owns a GB&a strat copy for 8k and he says its pretty good... Fenders..LPs...way out of budget.......
Some very nice LP copies are Keiper (get for around Rs. 10k), Greco & Tokai are sometimes more expensive than Gibsons so leave those out. Epiphone Les Paul Standard is not bad for about 15k. Let me know - I am in India (mumbai) mid June - may be able to bring one for you - no problemo! Also consider Westfield LP Copy E4000 - will get for GBP 100 or so - about Rs. 8.5k For the kind of sound you want - LP copy with nice pups (Alnicos) will really sound nice
hi nemo... first of all u shud've been more specific wid da kinda music u play... anyway considering ur budget i suggest u any of da following: BC Rich Bronze Series Mockingbird (12k approx), 2 hambuckers, 24 frets Ibanez GRX20 (11k approx) 2 hambuckers, Vintage tremolo, 22 frets Silvertone Rockit 21 (Gibson SG Copy) (12k approx) 2 hambuckers, 22 frets Silvertone SSL3 (Gibson Les Paul EXACT Copy) (15k approx) 2 hambuckers, 22 Frets Though da last one s slightly over budget, but if u can manage, its highly recommended. Even i am planning to buy 1 soon. U can place the order of any of the stated at Bharat Music House, Def col. U can get the address as well as their contact no. on www.bharatmusichouse.com. N as for u rust_in_pain... U srsly think that Fenders r for metal..?????????????? get urself checked man..!!! Fenders are best suited for bluesy stuff....!!!! On the contrary Ibanezes are much better suited for any type of metal. N u nabu... lemme tell u Kramer focus doesnt hav a floyd rose... its a three single coil pickup guitar, standard VINTAGE tremolo, having a pathetic tone....!!!!! Not against Kramer though.. I myself hav Kramer Vanguard... 2 hambuckers, Liscenced Floyd Rose, 24 frets... N it simply rocks..!!! No hard feelings dudes... I just said wut i knw. Keep rocking...!!!
Thats what he said that Fender aren't really metal guitars...READ first then think then post as for fender's not being metal guitars its true if you play the Fenders that have single coils only.
@metal_head.....wat do u havta say about THIS...:...hehehe https://www.musicyo.com/product_specs.asp?pf_id=1193
@rabi death metal isnt his type... thus fedners would be a good recommendation ecept for budget. the aria seems like a nice one https://www.bharatmusichouse.com/pr_detail.asp?Maincatid=A&ProdID=41 i doubt its awesome but then agtin budget is quite low... if possible try and get from us - ull get much better stuff - a guitar that typcially costs 18k here will come for 7.5-9k in the us if ubuy from musiciansfriend.com or something... most guitars are over double the price on retail here (eg. my ibanez and my yam...) otherwise think of a yam pacifica -u get for 12k i tihnk.. theyre pretty decent guitars for the price...
actaully get this - i would back this config 100% for 16k https://www.bharatmusichouse.com/pack_detail.asp?leftlink=&Paksno=31 its a god of a deal in india. its a lot below retail and its all quite good... call them up otherwise and see if they can fix u up for some other deals - ask about second hand stuff and abt clearance stuff.. its all seems really good...
are u serious .. coz i heard that lespaiuls dont come below 25k. its gr8 if ur right hey metalhead whats a hambucker and whats a copy of 'Lespaul' . it seems like a good bet thats a really bright idea! but what abt transportation and reliability of guitar(mean is it safe ?) and payment etc.?? [QOUTE=deathdr_87]actaully get this - i would back this config 100% for 16k https://www.bharatmusichouse.com/pac...link=&Paksno=31[/QUOTE] this also seems like a good deal bu then havent heard the name Washburn . so i really dont know how they are.. p.s. - plz if u ppl can explain what are these. . 1)Die cast tuners 2)5-way switch 3)the quality of diff kinds of woods used on fretboard 4)Flushtrem bridge bye till then .. p.s. of p.s blackmamba anyday u decide to do some charity u know whom to meet :grin:
There's no free lunch pal - I was offering free carriage! Hehe! cuz I can get you a keiper Les Paul copy for about 10k. check the picture....
hey nebu i though u were talkin abt this one.. https://www.musicyo.com/product_specs.asp?pf_id=101 anyway... still the tone of focus series isnt upto da mark...!!!! wut is one supposed to do with a floyd rose when he is not getting the desired tone..???!!!!???
@rabi hey rabi.. srry to say man but i think U need to go though the rust's post again... he said, "u can buy ibanez grx ones as fenders rnt ur type (death metal)... n nemo wrote he likes to play anything except death metal... so as rust said fenders arnt his type, this implies fenders r for death metal... so... i must say read the post n the replies carefully or join some english training program..!!!!
Well nemo as abt ur query... A hambucker is a double coiled pickup having much heavier tone in comparison to single coil ones. And by saying a copy i meant a lookalike of the gibson les paul standard... As les pauls were first made by Gibson. If u want to further check da guitar, check da following link: https://www.zzounds.com/item--SVTSSL3 Hope u find the one best suited for u... Keep rocking...!
