Hi, im looking for a HH/HSH Guitar. Im more of a bassist, but i want a solid guitar for playing mostly metal. I like these super strat styles like ibanez does them alot. I also really like the Schecter c1, do you guys have any additional input?
Btw i live in germany if that matters

Ibanez is usually more cost efficient than schecter, but they’re pretty different

#

Ibanez necks in particular are very different from (most) schecters

#

As is the usual design (HSH basswood or alder vs HH mahogany)

Yeah I would probably go with Ibanez, I recommend looking up different types of fretboards and seeing what neck style you like the best. I like the wizard

Its really hard to beat a solid Ibanez RG. If you have a guitar store nearby go to it and play a few different ibanez or schecter guitars and find one that feels good to play

Ive got a 450 and its a great guitar, but theres room to move higher in the rg line for better fit and finish

at your price range, aim for a used prestige

Alternatively, check the Harley Benton Amarok 6 or fusion 3, they're pretty good

#

I just got an Amarok 6 for 400€ and the thing slaps hard

#

Leaving you budget to upgrade pickups or whatever you like

Imo the ultimate shredder guitar for me is the schecter sls elite. Same price, and it’s phenomenal

#

Super thin neck, beautiful neck thru, and multi voicing

#

All with an awesome finish

Ibanez is great at the thin neck HSH super strat thing.

What's the benefits of hsh over HSS

Humbucker neck. Generally for heavier music imo

crimson grove Humbucker neck. Generally for heavier music imo

With my current HSS configuration, I only use bridge and neck position with bridge being for heavy stuff and neck being for cleans. I feel like if I had hsh I would use bridge for distorted rhythm, middle for clean, and neck for distorted lead

#

I like the louder humbucker neck over a single for soloing with some gain for example

#

When i had a HSH guitar i used the neck (split) and middle a lot (4th position) for cleans

#

The trick is a low output middle single coil

#

I always had balance issues for high gain with hss

#

I should say hitter pickups

#

With some typical singles and a low output bridge that works

#

If you get a higher output bridge then try to get singles to match it becomes harder to find a balancing set imo
