Should I buy a LTD M201HT or a Jackson Dinky JS32, I mostly play metal (99% of the time) everyone tells me to buy a jackson but I already an LTD viper 256 and its just really good, one thing I dont like about jacksons (personally) is the floyd rose, i mostly play slipknot, deftones, korn, so I would never even use the floyd rose from the jackson, but everyone keeps telling me jackson is just better for metal, also both in the same price range
#Jackson or LTD
cinder forge
the ltd is good
but not very versatile cuz its only one pickup
try finding a guitar with 2hunmbuckers that doesnt have a floyd
also a guitar with a floyd will be very hard to deal with if ur changing tunings
especially w deftones, korn etc
they all have very different tunings
i recommend something thats a hardtail
so you can just change tunings on the spot instead of having to do like an hour of setting up
dire pike
but not very versatile cuz its only one pickup
Yeah I know but like i said I play metal 99% of the time and I already have another ltd with 2 pickups so yeah
im basically searching for a full metal guitar
dire pike
also a guitar with a floyd will be very hard to deal with if ur changing tunings
thats a good point tho
cinder forge
Yeah I know but like i said I play metal 99% of the time and I already have anot...
def the LTD Then
that LTD with the hardtail
is metal as fuck
one pickup
black
hardtail
reverse headstock
metal as fuck
one volume knob too
the js32 sucks because it has a floyd rose special
wait not even
it has a licensed trem
the floyd is gonna be absolute buns
dire pike
the js32 sucks because it has a floyd rose special
I know, I hate that jackson dont make guitars without floyd rose, i think theres a few models but they are the most expensive jackson models out there
anyway thanks for the advice dude i appreciate
dire pike
especially more budget ones
thats the thing
they dont make like mid budget guitars without floyd
glossy geode
I know a guy who has a JS32 dinky
dire pike
at least for me floyd rose is an ass pain
dire pike
yes but it has floyd rose
glossy geode
they make hardtails
dire pike
really?
dire pike
Hmm idk i have never seen irl or websites a hard tail js32
maybe it was a custom?
theres a few models withourt floyd rose but those are the king v and kelly
and i dont really like them
i rather dinky models
glossy geode
yeah I'm pretty fuckin confident they don't do customs of a 400 dollar guitar
even as quilted maple
Purdy lookin
keen ridge
Ltd 100%
dire pike
I meant custom like ur friend customized it
glossy geode
he wouldn't even know how if he wanted to
and again, 400 dollar guitar, not worth it
cinder forge
Ltd
glossy geode
most brands offer hardtail versions of their cheaper guitars at least, idk why this is so hard for you to beleive
dire pike
and again, 400 dollar guitar, not worth it
i know, my ltd is like 600 dollars i wont use a cheaper one than that
glossy geode
then why are you looking at a js32
cinder forge
U already got an ltd with 2 pickups
dire pike
then why are you looking at a js32

dire pike
yeah
keen ridge
Don’t get a cheap Floyd Jackson from experience
dire pike
I think i decided for ltd
glossy geode
wanted to try jackson
but you won't play anything less than 600 dollars??????
dire pike
but you won't play anything less than 600 dollars??????
Yes but TRY
maybe it was a good cheap guitar..
and i mean
cinder forge
No
dire pike
cmon its jackson
glossy geode
Honestly guitsrs under 600 usd are good
entirely dependa on the guitar
keen ridge
Cheap Floyd’s suck
glossy geode
Jackson is famously some of the worst big name budget guitars you can buy
keen ridge
I have one it’s awful
dire pike
entirely dependa on the guitar
thats what i mean, heard jackson only makes gold
glossy geode
js22s and 32s fucking suck
cinder forge
Anything with a humbucker on the bridge can do metal
keen ridge
thats what i mean, heard jackson only makes gold
As a Jackson fan boy this is factually untrue
cinder forge
Look at cort guitars theyre fucking awesome
glossy geode
thats what i mean, heard jackson only makes gold

glossy geode
Jackson sucks ass
ok hey let's not swing to far in the other direction
a good jackson is awesome
keen ridge
I love my Jackson they play great but the cheap js series stock just suck tho nice for modding which I love to do
dire pike
heard top jackson models actually kicks many others brands asses
glossy geode
ehh, when you get up there in price it's starts becoming a personal preference thing, they're all good
keen ridge
Eh
cinder forge
If u want a real metal guitar get a stick and wire and attach a pickup
Djent machine
glossy geode
ibanez is definitely worth a look
cinder forge
Ibanez is goof
Good
Look at cort aswell
Sire is also good
Alot of underrated brands
dire pike
everything sounds metal asf with 10 gain lol
glossy geode
can't speak on cort unfortunately but I hear good things
cinder forge
Even harley benton is pretty okay
cinder forge

They make guitars for prs and ibanez
glossy geode

you need better pickups if you need 10 gain to sound metal
cinder forge
Prs se and ibanez non prestige line is all cort
dire pike
Even harley benton is pretty okay
whats the deal with them, been seeing them a lot and they r cheap asf
glossy geode
if I set my shit on 10 gain I'd throw up

best under 300 dollar guitars you can buy, still an under 300 dollar guitar, curb your expectations
if you can afford to spend more, spend more
dire pike
if you can afford to spend more, spend more
cheap becomes expensive
keen ridge
I dream with active emg
Get that Ltd and throw an Emg 81 in it and chug along my friend
dire pike
Get that Ltd and throw an Emg 81 in it and chug along my friend
real
glossy geode
not usually with guitars. cheap just becomes annoying and collects dust dependig
not really much to break on a guitar that's expensive and also worth it to fix
dire pike
sad to think now ill add another ltd to my collection and my original ltd will be just there
keen ridge
I mean I have 3 Jackson’s and I play 2/3 of them
glossy geode
hell yeah, nothing wrong with that. at least you know you'll like how it feels
dire pike
yeah but like i mostly play metal i prob only use the new one
keen ridge
Why can’t you play the other one?
dire pike
I mean i got rn a LTD viper 256 white snow, its a really good guitar, its also made for rock and metal but this other LTD im looking for is literally BORN for crazy metal riffs
so
keen ridge
Its a viper it can obv metal
Ltd viper right there
I would do anything to get a VB-400 like that 😭
glossy geode
honestly yeah I'm not actually sure I see the point here, I would buy something new for my second guitar. like a (GOOD) floyd rose or a 7 string or a single coils / p90s
you're gonna have 2 ltds that functionally serve the same purpose
dire pike
Its a viper it can obv metal
yeah but im also want a guitar that looks agressive my ltd viper is nice but white its too "pretty?", i want a really metal looking guitar to play it with my folks
dire pike
honestly yeah I'm not actually sure I see the point here, I would buy something ...
i mean
0 floyd rose for me
totally 0
glossy geode
not a fan of those at all?
dire pike
I just dont like it
glossy geode
fair enough
dire pike
not a fan of those at all?
nope
I would def have a floyd tose guitar to only play pantera lol
keen ridge
yeah but im also want a guitar that looks agressive my ltd viper is nice but whi...
Bruh fair I guess
glossy geode
they're pretty fuckin cool
dire pike
im scared of the 7 string tbh...
glossy geode
go down to ye old guitar center and try one
dire pike
what if i want to hit the 6 and i always hit the 7 💔
glossy geode
well that why you have a 6 string to play 6 string stuff
dire pike
yeah but the only think i would play with the 7 string is korn and thats it
i mean for now
glossy geode
gotta branch out man
dire pike
i have only player guitar for a year im not THAt experienced
glossy geode
get into some spirit box, starset, hell you can play some Slipknot stuff by just doing drop a on the bottom 6 strings
keen ridge
what if i want to hit the 6 and i always hit the 7 💔
It’s the same thing as wanting to hit 5th and hitting the 6th
dire pike
It’s the same thing as wanting to hit 5th and hitting the 6th
this actually makes so much sense
bruu
im slow
😂
glossy geode
7 strings are awesome purely for being able to do those low 6 string tunings in the bottom 6 strings of the 7
not to mention all the cool 7 string songs out there nowadays
namely spiritbox
dire pike
not to mention all the cool 7 string songs out there nowadays
true
glossy geode
techdeath and stuff too if you fuck with that
dire pike
and they look heavy asf
keen ridge
not to mention all the cool 7 string songs out there nowadays
And like all the ones I said I would learn when I got one and haven’t yet lol
glossy geode
and they look heavy asf
ehh, not really
I mean a bit obv but it's not that bad
8 string is where they start getting chonky
dire pike
trying new thing scares me when its about money 💔
glossy geode
again it's not that bad. slightly wider but if you cut the strings off and blindfolded me it would take me a minute to tell the difference
I picked up an Ibanez 7 last week and thought it was a 6 for a solid couple minutes
I was just like "huh, this neck feels a tad wider than I remember"
then I sat down to play it
and went OHHHHH
glossy geode
it feels like a 6 string with an extra string
its not as weird as your imagining
it's super familiar
dire pike
makes sense
glossy geode
you'd get used to it quick I think, but try one at a shop first
General rule of thumb for most purchase is try it first if possible
dire pike
yeahh
glossy geode
General rule of thumb for most purchase is try it first if possible

im planning to get a top tier guitar maybe after 2 years of playing
or 3
glossy geode
what exactly does a "top tier" guitar entail?
dire pike
what exactly does a "top tier" guitar entail?
E S P
glossy geode
because top tier in my mind is like a $6000 boutique custom guitar
dire pike
like a USA custom? or just any esp?
any es
p
or maybe a signature guitar from mick thomson lol
glossy geode
that's not really top tier. REALLYYYYY good but not top tier lol
dire pike
that's not really top tier. REALLYYYYY good but not top tier lol
dang
whats top tier for ya
hendrix guitar 😭
glossy geode
custom boutique guitars
dire pike
ahh
glossy geode
signature guitars are inherently not the best money can buy
if you order a custom it's more or less your signature
customized to your specs
that's the best of the best
unfortunately those are also WAYYYYY expensive
and most people will never be able to justify that purchase
so it's mostly irrelevant
dire pike
and most people will never be able to justify that purchase
well when it comes to luxury justify the values is useless
custom r a luxury than any other thing
its like trying to justify a rolex lol
