    hey guys,
    i am stuck here ( actually i am pretty clueless)
    my frnd is willing to sell a bc rich for 13500 and odd ( i'let u know the particulars of tat later). i am not sure weather to go for tat or buy a new ibanez. the guit which my frnd is selling is third hand acctually, and obviously u wont claim for any post damage. but i am not sure if i can get a decent ibanez for around 14k. so help me out people.

    Hey Westarend,

    It all depends on you. Have you checked the 3rd hand bc rich personally? My personal belief is that "One time investment should be a good one"
    And as far as price is concerned a new ibanez there still costs lessthan a second hand one here in Britain!

    So :think: and act. Baseline: Buy a new one!

    Cheers!

    THIRD HAND BC RICH!!!!!!!!!!!!! Forget it.

    Even a first hand BC RICH aint too great.

    yeah, i think i mite go for a first hand itself. hope i can invest some more cash to buy an amp.i personally checked out my frnds bc rich, it is simply amazing ( atleast i thought so). it has a rose wood neck, black colored ( kinda spider shaped), i still dunno the pick ups he has installed. acc, he has installed 2 new pickups. tats why he is askin 13.5k.
    thanks allure.
    @chintan, i thought bc rich r gr8 guits, man. its best for heavy ****, and so is ibanez.

    take an experienced electric player coz the first electric u play will always seem dam good and if u dont play regularly on good guitars u mght not be able to tell a good one from a bad one.

    BC RICH sucks ass..

    low end IBANEZ guitars suck ass.

    im guessing by the choice of brands that you are a metal guitar player.
    13,500..hmm..is that ur budget..or can u shell out some more cash??
    let us know ur final budget..and someone can probably reccommend u somethin.

    hmm..

    i would go for a fender squire showmaster.ive played it and it feels good..and u can get some good heavy tones out of it.

    not a squire strat..but a squire showmaster.

    u should get it for arnd 15-16 grand.

    wait for a few metal players to also chip in their suggestions.
    dont rush in to buyin a guitar.
    peace.and keep playin.
