Hello, It's now been a year since I've been playing and I have the opportunity to get a new guitar, but I have to keep my price low. I'm shopping at guitar center and am interested in the guitar above, but can only afford used. I'm a metalhead, but am unused to tremolos. My other idea was to get a squire and mod it into Dave Murray's 80's strat (can you tell I'm an Iron Maiden fan?) I have a boss katana ex. I'm also a fan of Judas Priest, Sabaton, Megadeth and more. Humbuckers are a must.
#Buying my second electric, 200$ off at Guitar Center

Looks like it has a Floyd Rose Special, which doesn't seem to be spoken of highly... I'll let someone more knowledgeable chime in, though 🙂
You seem awfully familiar...
😂
Haha, yea, good to see you here too 👍
What’s your budget, and what do you want from the guitar?
I'm wanting a good tremolo that go up and down.. good metal humbuckers. I really don't want to go above 450

I think this is your perfect guitar
Still an FR Special tho, right? I thought those would wear quickly?
I don't know anything about FRs
I don’t either tbh, but I don’t really see how it could be that bad
It’s not like it’ll fall apart after one pantera song
Ask my friend for a domination test
I need to go through Guitar Center
That's where I have 200$ off
1: is the discount also on used gear
2: what colors are you okay with
A. I certainly Hope so
B. Not a big fan of bright or neon
This is really nice
I just looked up Kiko Lourero's and his is too much
wdym
I would try and look at a Harley Benton but a used one in America. They have a lot of different options and are very good quality especially for the price of them. The next closest price range for the quality of your guitar from another brand would be around 350$ so it’s well worth checking out
The reason i didn’t recommend HB
Was because of the WC
Now I am willing to deal with it
But most aren’t
@cosmic granite how do you feel about getting a guitar and sending it back for a new one if it comes out bad
Because if you’re okay with it
You just got a whole load of options
I just got a Harley Benton for Christmas and it is amazing it has to HH passive humbucker pickups with a 3 way tone switch and it looks like it’s strait out of the kiss army lol
WC?
I needed my trust rod adjusted on mine bc the strings were really tight and my action was too high for my liking
I got a HB bs-20
A lot of people have problems with Floyd Specials
I've considered an SG but I would need 300 if I wanted a good trem for it
An SG?
I could try a King V
Yeah?
Link?
I don't think this is it
