Any recommendations?

[naive cliff]

I'm tryna find an affordable guitar to have alongside my ESP Alexi-200. Desirably I'd like to have a 6-string guitar with actives, however since I already own the Alexi mentioned above, I'm tryna get one with a solid bridge. Any recommendations?

Gonna depend a lot on what "you" consider affordable.

What’s your budget?

What’s your budget, and what do you want from this guitar?

[empty ivy]

6 string actives and fixed bridge

[lunar shadow]

Ik other than that

That’s not specific enough

[empty ivy]

Shape and budget that’s about that’s all needed

[lunar shadow]

Yep

Shape and budget

@naive cliff

[empty ivy]

I got a recommendation but don’t know the budget or shape so

[naive cliff]

sorry mane

here I am

so for the budget i'd say around 1k€ at max, I'm not too picky about the shape, so long as it's not a V or a LP.

preferably under 1k but yk

TLDR: 6-string, active pickups, fixed bridge, not a V or a Les Paul, 1k€ max

You ok with an explorer shape?

I was gonna recommend Ltd eclipse but you said no lp so lol

[naive cliff]

yea no problem

[naive cliff]

i was actually lookin at the demmelition fury like two days ago, I'm considering it

another one i've thought about is the Schecter Damien Platinum 6 SBK

[empty ivy]

I was gonna recommend that too

[naive cliff]

lmao, EC is the reason i said no LP

[empty ivy]

Damn :< I love them

[naive cliff]

i've played an EC-258 every once in a while

[empty ivy]

258 the 8 string one

[naive cliff]

ECs look really clean and beautiful and the tone is nice but the feeling of LPs overall is just not for me, at least so far

[naive cliff]

yea, the 8 string one

[empty ivy]

I don’t like normal les Paul’s but the thin ness of the eclipses is just awesome

[empty ivy]

Ah ok

I have a 256

[naive cliff]

yea i suppose a 256 could be a bit better, and yea i also like the eclipses more than other les pauls because of the necks, however:

@naive cliff

[naive cliff]

they weight a shit ton

[compact geode]

Hellraiser hybrid C1

[empty ivy]

Around 8lbs

[naive cliff]

I've played a C7 Diamond series with and FR, can't remember the exact model because it's been discontinued, but i love hellraisers sm, the neck profile is one of the nicest i've played

overall i think schecter has had some of the best neck profiles and feels that i've experienced so far

but yea, i'll check that one out!

12-16 raidious, like charvel and jackson
