Which should be my next guitar

[vale lion]

I'm pretty good at guitar and I'm thinking about which one to buy next since my old one is broken, I'm stuck between these 3,

Schecter Damien-6
Ibanez rgrt421
Schecter Demon-6

I'm also open to other options if anyone has any suggestions, but I only really like clean looking ones like that with no bolts on the front like the strato and no whammy bars

[tawdry cape]

prs se ce 24

or the demon 6

[vale lion]

ngl I don't really like prs

[vale lion]

my budget is 1500 usd btw

around that

[forest spear]

Ibanez RGT1221PB
Schecter Reaper-6 Custom
Charvel DK24 HT

[final inlet]

Get something like a used schecter and invest the rest of the money 😉

[vale lion]

ty

I mighta overshot it a bit

maybe around like 1300 usd

[vale lion]

what's the difference

between the reaper-6 and the reaper-6 custom

[chilly helm]

strandberg boden

[chilly helm]

custom has wenge neck with carbon rods, luminlay side dots, stainless steel frets

[vale lion]

errr

is that a big difference

[chilly helm]

to me it is

but if you dont really know what those differences are

then it shouldnt matter to you

to me its a big difference because i know i like wenge necks, i know i like luminlay dots, and i know i like stainless steel frets

you probably dont care too much

[vale lion]

I see

[vale lion]

it looks good

but idk abt the shape honestly

I think it's gonna put me off a bit

[chilly helm]

its potentially gonna be the most comfortable guitar youve played

but yeah, headless guitar shapes polarize people

look at Vola guitars too

made in Japan

[vale lion]

really?

also is a reaper-6 custom for £600 a steal or not

[chilly helm]

it doesnt look like that just for show

[vale lion]

lowk thought it was js to show off like an explorer or something

[chilly helm]

no, its for ergonomics

the shape allows it to comfortably hug your body in multiple different positions

its lighter, more compact, better tuning stability, and more comfortable

[chilly helm]

its decent, not like a steal, but decent

i see reaper 6s online for likke 600-800

[distant spear]

why did you pick 600 dollar guitars then? we can do soooooo much more with that budget

[distant spear]

I love my RGT1221PB

fantastic guitar all around

you honestly cant go wrong with almost anything in that range from schecter, Ibanez, ltd, whatever

the strandy is also awesome but the aesthetics arent for everyone

play some stuff a guitar shop if possible and see what feels good to you

easier to work from there

[mental pilot]

reverend double agent

[vale lion]

well

it's cause i was gonna buy them brand new

but it's better to get a better used guitar

but only guitars that rrp at $1300

cause then they'll be cheaper used

[vale lion]

ngl i don't really like how it looks

[vale lion]

kk I'll keep looking then

[mental pilot]

Reverend has other cool guitars. Check out charvel as well.

[vale lion]

kk I'll take a look around ty

[vale lion]

charvel has some really nice ones ngl

thse were my favourites what do u think

[tulip flax]

pretty

heard good things about charvel

[mental pilot]

Can't really go wrong

[tulip flax]

u got a good budget to be fair

[vale lion]

same I'm just not sure if they play good

[mental pilot]

Have a look at San dimas guitars as well as some might be within your budget and made in Japan

They do, I have one

[vale lion]

I was thinking abt like a used reaper 6 too

but idk if they're better

[vale lion]

oo

[mental pilot]

Charvel necks are really cool

Blue one

[tulip flax]

what sorta music u into playing?

[vale lion]

damn u have a sick collection

chiller songs

but I do play some metal too

and riffa

riffs

[tulip flax]

bro u got money

[vale lion]

but usually chiller songs

[tulip flax]

yk what u need

[tulip flax]

a mfing stransberg

[mental pilot]

Avoid the full shred in the bridge if you want chill

But it's great for metal

[vale lion]

i don't have that much money bro 😭

[tulip flax]

u lit do

[vale lion]

kk

[tulip flax]

https://strandbergguitars.com/en-GB/product/boden-essential-6-black-granite

[vale lion]

are schecters good for chill or should I look for s different brand

[mental pilot]

Mostly a metal brand tbh

They have the nick Johnson but that's just a strat

[tulip flax]

u can play "chill" on anything

its just about ur tone n how u play

id probably just reccomend h h config for its convenience and lack of feedback

[mental pilot]

It's gonna sound better with lower output Imo and high output bridge humbuckers just push amps too hard

[tulip flax]

nuh uh

[vale lion]

I was thinking

should I go humbuckers after all

or js do pickups

[tulip flax]

icl bro u just said nothing

they are all pickups

[vale lion]

I meant p90 my msg glitched

[tulip flax]

LMAO

[vale lion]

💔

p90 pickups

[tulip flax]

maybe not for metal

[tulip flax]

did u look at this

[vale lion]

yeah so

[tulip flax]

what do u think of it

[vale lion]

basically right

i don't exactly have 900 ish pounds

I was js looking for guitars around that value

[tulip flax]

u said ur budget it 1.6k usd

[vale lion]

cause then if I buy them second hand

they're cheaper

[tulip flax]

?

[tulip flax]

1.5

[vale lion]

I changed it

a little

[tulip flax]

oh lmao

yk 900 pounds is 1.2

[vale lion]

ye I mean I can stretch it s teeny bit

depending on the guitar

cos like say hellraiser for example

they are a really successful series and they retail for like 1.1k gbp

but u can find a good used one for like 600

but lesser known guitars probably not as much

[tulip flax]

do u not like the strandberg </3

[vale lion]

like I really wanted the reaper -6 custom or the c-1 sls custom

[vale lion]

it looks err

a bit funky

I mean I don't mind it but

[tulip flax]

its fair enough

im not tryna force u to get a guitar cause alot comes dwon to aesthetic

[vale lion]

my dad plays the guitar and he's like really old school and he'd probably js think I'm tryna show off

and not really care about actually playing it

[vale lion]

😭

[tulip flax]

oh ur in the uk?

[vale lion]

I'm really picky cause this is like all my savings 💔

[tulip flax]

whats ur budget in pounds bro lmao

[vale lion]

yep

[tulip flax]

same

[vale lion]

oh bruh

🤣

[tulip flax]

what guitars u alreqady got?

[vale lion]

I used to have the esp ltd ex-200

[vale lion]

400-600

[tulip flax]

[vale lion]

I only really want a black or white one

[tulip flax]

[vale lion]

wth

[tulip flax]

its 400 new

u got a computer right?

[vale lion]

yes

[tulip flax]

have u got an interface?

[vale lion]

idk if my parents would let me buy a new one cause I wanted to buy a new one but they said to just get a better one that's second hand

[vale lion]

what

[tulip flax]

an audio interface

like one of these

[vale lion]

nope

[tulip flax]

okay bro

[vale lion]

I was gonna buy

[tulip flax]

i think ive decided for u how u r gonna spend ur money

sound good?

[vale lion]

💔

[tulip flax]

LOL

whats ur favourite colours

[vale lion]

I was lowk just gonna buy

cause I heard they're good

[tulip flax]

and where abts r u from

[vale lion]

uhh what's it called

[tulip flax]

a c6?

[vale lion]

the nux

mighty pro

and js connect my headphones

[tulip flax]

we have bigger dreams than that here elu

[vale lion]

and then later in like a year or something maybe for Christmas

I was gonna buy the katana. 50

[tulip flax]

nuh uh

[vale lion]

🤣

[vale lion]

errr

[tulip flax]

wanna join a vc and i can show u my digital amps

[vale lion]

very neutral colours

lit like black and white maybe dark red too

[vale lion]

Milton keynes

[tulip flax]

oh cute

[vale lion]

near there not exactly

[tulip flax]

im pretty much coventry

[vale lion]

sure I'll be on mobile tho cause I'm in public

[tulip flax]

lots of roundabouts and a shopping centre

[tulip flax]

nw

[vale lion]

LOL

literally bro

[tulip flax]

im in jam 5

[vale lion]

my mobile data sucks gimme a sec

wth

that sounds mad clean

[tulip flax]

okay people have decided to be annoying

holy muted

[vale lion]

🤣

[tulip flax]

okay theres some clean tones for u

wanna hear me w distortion now?

[vale lion]

sure

[tulip flax]

one more tone first

[vale lion]

wait

it plays into your headphones rifht

[tulip flax]

yep

[vale lion]

from your computer that's plugged into the interface?

[tulip flax]

yep

[vale lion]

ohh that makes sense

wait that's lowk kinda sick

how long you been playing for

you kinda crazy ngl

[tulip flax]

year and 3 quarters now i thinkl

[vale lion]

DAMN

did you learn by yourself

[tulip flax]

yee

[vale lion]

or take lessons

bro that's sick ngl

how much is the interface you're using?

[tulip flax]

how does the guitar sound then

[vale lion]

bro it sounds amazing ngl

[tulip flax]

i got it for 70 but the tone is mostly in the presets, the interface just makes it go from guitar signals to singals the computer can understand

then my presets ar on the computer

[vale lion]

I need 3 options tho

ohh makes sense

[vale lion]

do you need to download or pay for like a selrrate software

[tulip flax]

this is where my effects live

[tulip flax]

i mean

u can get a bunch of free shit

the specific thing i use for my tones is 130

for my distorted

[vale lion]

ah hn bro you rich

[tulip flax]

but u can get as good for free

[tulip flax]

no lmao

someone let me use their account cause i set up their audio interface and shit for them

its a confusing process

but i made a guide on it

[vale lion]

damnn

that's cool ngl

I need to find like 1 or 2 more guitars ngl

the one you're using is one of them already cause it's sick

and then ima make my pick with my dad on the ones out of the 3

[tulip flax]

https://www.scan.co.uk/products/ibanez-rg421ex-transparent-crimson-fade-matte-hh-no-tremolo-jatoba-fingerboard?gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=21594733907&gbraid=0AAAAADA8550xV2MiLVa89CA28T-JllMv-&gclid=CjwKCAjwobnGBhBNEiwAu2mpFNDCsr2NHS_DoaImXQDv2VzFZsSwVS2EpXTkUqHHf84Be0AoqsXysRoCVoQQAvD_BwE

this is the same guitar ive got but with different colours

mine is an RG421 AHM

theres different colours but they are all RG421

[vale lion]

O

I was gonna get an rg421 weathered black

[tulip flax]

my best tip is

think about how th eguitare looks on u

like my guitar just suits me aesthetically

[vale lion]

I'm really picky with the aesthetic honestly

like I only like when the front is clean looking

no whammy bar or like bolted on designs like the strato has

[vale lion]

and the colours I only like really are black and white

[tulip flax]

Like idk how to explain it but it just looks good on me

[vale lion]

yeah that matches u ngl

[tulip flax]

im a big advocate for my guitar

lmao

but definitely get an audio interface

look for a scarlett solo gen 3

the zacky one @tulip path

[vale lion]

it makes sense though cause it's really good

so why wouldn't you advocate for it

[tulip flax]

i can help u look for other options tho

but u should set aside like 80 for an audio interface

[vale lion]

done

[tulip flax]

also

get these picks

[vale lion]

I'm 100% getting an interface

which picks

[tulip flax]

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Jim-Dunlop-Petrucci-Player-Pieces/dp/B0117TLSZS/ref=sr_1_1_mod_primary_new?crid=1BH1KW7JHKMR0&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.2TvtJvwtyz3N_RRAmFTb2b6cH1QS46UwzAprD7AXZpT78n3nqkbTgLJofaAebBSz6c8zIkWIwA3C6tnXXZ1P_JUwAod1wfrGknhjKcEsBGiuGs3T8u5Zuz5z3QS4zc5kisde6qrqxSCIvOt0xH9__cgPz7w23cXEDDUs80s5hedkBOsy4ym_f4X02PjMm13jrhcFPKub2pSy57tNhUT4I5WjhntOe-FTE7a6Villnii3WORbbZSlr4JPnxl4jjqx1nUWLww97AOZWaa3B4l5jOfy9uUg9jFrIt7cMhwY6Ng.Bi5X0b7BKC0K5VmIYhPfMR7NYnhkmL2P3R3exoKcy0w&dib_tag=se&keywords=jp+jazz+3&qid=1758382013&sbo=RZvfv%2F%2FHxDF%2BO5021pAnSA%3D%3D&sprefix=jp+jazz+3%2Caps%2C107&sr=8-1

they are the picks i use

ive already made 3 people buy them

and they all loved them

theres quite a few people that use them in this server

[vale lion]

oo okay they look solid

I'll get them

[tulip flax]

@unborn carbon @wild jasper @swift glade sorry for pings but im calling u guys awesome

[tulip flax]

expensive but worth it

[tulip flax]

these 3 use them and they r insane

theres probably more

but they were the ones that convinced me to get em

[vale lion]

I see

passing on the legacy aren't u 🤣

[tulip flax]

pretty much lmao

ibanez are really strong in the low to mid range guitars

have a look at some schecter c6 elites

[vale lion]

what are the ranges

cos I think I been a bit foggy on that

[tulip flax]

0-250 is usually begginer

250-700 is the mid range

and above that is usually advanced

[vale lion]

I see

[tulip flax]

but the lines arent that obvious

[vale lion]

pounds right

[tulip flax]

theres guitars for 900 that are as good as a mid range lmao

yeah

[vale lion]

1 sec

[tulip flax]

np

[vale lion]

I can still hear u playing dw I'm just checking out some guitars

[tulip flax]

u at a guitar store or just on ur phone

[vale lion]

on my phone💔 there isn't any within walking distance near me

do u know anything about schecters

[tulip flax]

i know my dream guitar is a schecter

[vale lion]

yooo better call Saul wth

[vale lion]

which one

[tulip flax]

also this

https://www.gear4music.com/Guitar-and-Bass/Schecter-Synyster-Gates-Custom-6-TR-S-Headless-SBK/6TAU

[vale lion]

damnnn those are pretty pricey

[tulip flax]

yeah thats why i say dream

LOL

[vale lion]

mine is a schecter c-1 sls custom

[vale lion]

😭

or a schecter reaper -6 custom

they're good right

[tulip flax]

u must think larger than that my child

[vale lion]

🤣

genuinely like the coolest guitar I've seen in my life

like it literally has EVERYTHING I want

cool inlays

[tulip flax]

search ornsby shark guitar

[vale lion]

clean design

good color

ok that's pretty freaking cool but

not as cool as the SLS custom

genuinely the best

or reaper 6 custom

bro was that you

how the hell did you play that

[tulip flax]

if u cant tell i love this guitarist

[tulip flax]

the song i played when u said that is played by this guitarisst

and the guitars i said werew my dream are his signstures

[vale lion]

damn

yeah that song is sick bro ngl

[tulip flax]

the stage by a7x

[tulip flax]

ima leave now but feel free to tag me @vale lion

[vale lion]

kk tysm bro

[tulip flax]

i just quizzed my knowledge with chatgpt

turns out im a master

lmao odds are im wrong and im about to be clowened by a nerd

[vale lion]

🤣

don't put yourself down

chatgpt probably right anyway

@vocal aspen

what guitar do you use?

[vocal aspen]

hapas

[vale lion]

nice

[chilly helm]

chatgpt is also dumb as fuck by the way

[tulip flax]

yeah ik

[chilly helm]

"if you pair the RG421 with a locking nut itll be better in tuning"

no

[tulip flax]

yeah lmao u cant do that

[chilly helm]

you can't even put a locking nut on 421

nor is a locking nut without a floyd rose or double locking trem a good idea

you pretty much take away your ability to tune the guitar entirely

[tulip flax]

lmao

[chilly helm]

what did it mean by flat frets

[tulip flax]

fingerboard radius

fingerboard?

LOL

[chilly helm]

radius doesnt make it any harder for us to work on

the process for fret dressing is the same regardless

[tulip flax]

oh cutew

[chilly helm]

but yeah, chatgpt is pretty retarded with stuff like this

it said shit like "you can put a locking nut on a RG421" because its database correlates RG with like every other RG in existence, which a lot of floyd roses, and then it looks up queries about floyd roses and stuff and notices mentions of locking nuts and tuning stability

the training data for guitar shit for chatgpt is dumb as fuck because guitarists are also dumb as fuck

and its literally taking info from guitarists online

[tulip flax]

Lots of not all </3

[chilly helm]

i didnt say all, but its clear its a very big portion of it

considering a lot of its questions and answers here were just bad

like what is this

bolt on construction and locking strap buttons have 0 correlation at all

lol

you can put locking strap buttons on any guitar entirely, it doesnt matter if its bolt on, set neck, or neck thru

[unborn carbon]

get a strandberg

case closed.

[mental pilot]

Revstar standard is around that

[vale lion]

too expensive

[vale lion]

not a bad shout but idk I was looking for something a bit more cleaner

[mental pilot]

fair

the pickups are really good on it and it comes with stainless steel frets which im a fan of

[vale lion]

yeah it sounds really good

but at a price like that I kinda really care about the aesthetics

since it's gonna be with me for a really long time

I wanna like the guitsr

[fathom lava]

Are you in the UK?

Oh damn u are but ur budgets 400-600

[unborn carbon]

only 1k

cheapest model

[vale lion]

yeah

I could get a guitar worth around 800-100

1000*

if it's second hand

[vale lion]

I don't got that much

and there aren't many second hand

[unborn carbon]

they are 975 pounds

the essential

[vale lion]

I have like 600 ISH max unfortunately

[unborn carbon]

cooked

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/660223691392548864/1195489492023394424/image.gif

[vale lion]

i mean I can still get a really good used one right

is the hellraiser good they're around the same price

I wanted to get the c-1 sls custom or the reaper-6 custom

[unborn carbon]

yes

[vale lion]

so

id say I can get a used one that retails for around 900 GBP

any brsnd recommendations?

[distant spear]

very solid

Floyd rose 1500 if your getting the trem version

emg pickups

gorgeous look (if you like abalone)

super popular metal guitar

[vale lion]

yeah I thought about it

I don't really want a metal guitar honestly

it's too hardcore for me🤣

[chilly helm]

its only a metal guitar if u treat it like one

[distant spear]

i was refering more the aesthetics and average buyer

you are allowed to play other things on it, it wont explode

[willow wyvern]

please buy second hand

[vale lion]

yes i will dw

i was thinking about a sunset 6 extreme

or a sunset triad

[vale lion]

thoughts? @distant spear

[distant spear]

I said earlier, you don't have to play metal in a metal guitsr

if you like the guitsr, get it

[mental pilot]

id still prefer a charvel myself

i was thinking of getting one of those originally

[vale lion]

it looked cool but

I'm not a fan of the glossy see through ish texture

[vale lion]

are there any that are a similar price to the sunset extreme

[mental pilot]

yea for sure

you want a hard tail one?

[vale lion]

yeah

[mental pilot]

here's a new one slightly cheaper than what i found the sunset extreme for https://www.andertons.co.uk/charvel-sean-long-signature-pro-mod-san-dimas-style-1-hh-ht-m-gloss-black/?utm_source=google&utm_medium=organic&utm_campaign=surfaces

it has EMGs

https://www.thomann.co.uk/charvel_pro_mod_so_cal_hh_ht_car.htm

charvel are kinda split into three different models: so-cal, san dimas, and DK24

so-cal are basically fender guitars (strat and tele) that have been hotrodded

san dimas are sorta similar but have some more changes like a different neck heel and no pickugard

DK24 is a different body design, more inline with the jackson soloist

[vale lion]

I lowk hate Floyd roses

and pick guards

like the strato has

I think they lowk ugly

I js like a simple guitar

[mental pilot]

san dimas or that DK24 for then

what about a good 2 point trem?

most charvel guitars with them use a gotoh 510 which is good

https://www.scan.co.uk/products/b-stock-charvel-pro-mod-dk24-hh-2pt-cm-qm-chlorine-burst-hh-non-locking-tremolo-maple-fingerboard?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=feed_clicks&utm_content=surfaces_across_google

for example

https://www.thomann.co.uk/charvel_pro_mod_dk24_hss_2pt_cm_sp.htm

pink is also cool

[vale lion]

kinda new to the terminology

so I don't really know what hotrodded or a 2 point is

also I thought the first charvel U sent me was pretty but the yellow ruined it

pink is sick too but gloss is kinda eh, I like matte a lot or satin

[mental pilot]

2 point trem is sorta like what strats have

it's basically 2 pivot points, no locking nut like a FR

the pink is actually satin as well

https://www.sellusyourguitar.co.uk/product-page/charvel-pro-mod-dk24-hh-2pt-gloss-black-2022-electric-guitar

this is a really good price

£600

[vale lion]

oo

the dk24 satin black lowk tuff

yo @mental pilot

what do you think of this?

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/177220602072

he's replaced the pickups with something else

and what's the colourful holes on the back

@tulip flax what do you think too

[mental pilot]

yea probably still great

pickups are a preference thing and bare knuckle pickups are pretty good

it is a little beaten up

[mental pilot]

that's where the strings go

the colours are the ball ends of the strings

[mental pilot]

imo for the differenc in price id get new with this

[chilly helm]

theres no thoughts needed to be followed up on

u can play all types of music on one guitar lmao

the sound of a guitar is primarily the amp

a “metal guitar” doesnt sound metal, the amp is whats making it so

https://youtube.com/shorts/F2krfdJpwQw?si=3VGnSn4xbf5CtNl6

albert king played blues on a flying V, a commonly metal associated guitar. its not about the guitar

[vale lion]

I talked him down to £500

[vale lion]

how much would it be to fix it up a little

[mental pilot]

more than it's worth

[vale lion]

thanks

[vale lion]

500+?!

[mental pilot]

more than £200

[vale lion]

to fix a little chip?

wtf

[mental pilot]

why id suggest getting a new one

yea

there's multiple

most people won't bother with jobs like that as well

[vale lion]

my dad's friend owns a shop

he probably would

I'm not too worried about the scratches they can stay

just the parts where the wood is showing

[mental pilot]

you'd be better off getting the whole guitar refinished rather than a few tiny spots

[vale lion]

it doesn't bother me that much to spend £200 honestly

[mental pilot]

then you're basically paying the same as a new one tbh

[chilly helm]

to me theres not much point in trying to finish paint damage

there is 0 functional damage at all

and at some point its gonna get chipped again anyway

[vale lion]

yeah that's what I was thinking

[mental pilot]

spot repairs on a finish like that generally won't look the same as the rest of the finish

[vale lion]

it looks a bit ugly I might just paint it black a little so it doesn't stand out and maybe in the future get it redone

[mental pilot]

im not bothered about damage ive done myself, but when im getting a guitar i prefer to be in the best condition it can be

[vale lion]

also are the pickups

that he put on

better than the stock ones

[mental pilot]

it's a preference thing

but it's a ceramic magnet in it which would indicate it's a pretty high output pickup, i doubt it has been underwound

id prefer the seymour duncans myself

[vale lion]

they're like £300 used

[mental pilot]

price doesn't really matter

so are the seymour duncans nearly

£122 each for both full shred and alnico ii pro

[vale lion]

what does this mean

[mental pilot]

change how they sound

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I0JdvoLjzxM

probably not the best example

but ceramic pickups are usually brighter

[tulip flax]

most of the tone comes from the amp

fight me

[mental pilot]

yea, but how hard the amp is pushed can depend on the pickups

higher output pickups = stronger signal before amplification

[tulip flax]

the other things that matter are humbuckers vs single coil, bridge position and technique

[vale lion]

yooo blake esp

wsp

[chilly helm]

no pickup is better than another unless youve heard them both for yourself

it doesnt matter if theyre 300 used or some shit, because pickups only purpose is to make a noise the player likes

the previous owners tastes wont be the same as yours

[vale lion]

[vale lion]

тотя

[tulip flax]

i need a new guitar anyway

[vale lion]

what you think abt the charvel though

[tulip flax]

tbh bro

[vale lion]

what's wrong with the rgrt

it sounds sick

[tulip flax]

just spend more and get my dream guitar

[vale lion]

how much is it again

[tulip flax]

the frets are worm down

[vale lion]

aren't they just metal lines

[tulip flax]

u can find them for around 800-950 second hand

[tulip flax]

yeah its fixable but im broke

[vale lion]

how much does it cost to fix

cause like

[tulip flax]

idk

[vale lion]

if the frets on the guitar he's using are dodgy too

then I'm in trout

trouble

[tulip flax]

mine werent dodgy

its a normal thing

[vale lion]

does it make a big difference

in sound and quality

[tulip flax]

i play alot so

[tulip flax]

well the fret doesnt ring out propperly

[vale lion]

oh I get it

the more you use it the more it wears down cause of repeated contact with the string

and the more it wears down the further the string has to travel so it sounds different right

[distant spear]

and if the string goes down too far it makes contact with other frets and makes the note sound weird or muted

[vale lion]

makes sense

[vale lion]

what do you think about the charvel I sent above?

[distant spear]

idk which one your talking about

but charvels are pretty good

[silk zodiac]

It's good

[vale lion]

ty

all looks well?

like nothing wrong with it apart from the scratches and chips

[silk zodiac]

Well, you'll have to check it in person for playability, if you're planning to

If not - then you'll have to try something from Charvel to have an idea on how they play, but I think you'll like it

Thin, satin finished necks, 24 frets

[vale lion]

this one @distant spear

[vale lion]

I'm not really too picky on how they play

[silk zodiac]

It's modified, but still good

[vale lion]

I've played on thin, thick, short, long guitars

[silk zodiac]

With bareknuckle pickups too

[vale lion]

all of them were good

[vale lion]

would you say that's better or worse

[silk zodiac]

I'd guess they are better, because Bareknuckle pickups are typically priced at 200 USD for a pack, which is expensive for pickups

And they typically make high output stuff

Which means that they will cover good amount of cleans and scream in dirt/high gain when needed

[vale lion]

really?

is everything cheaper in the us or something

cahse the ones he used were like 400 GBP new which js about 600 ISH usd

but it'd good that they're better

thank you sm bro

[silk zodiac]

Not just me - everyone who helped 🙏

[silk zodiac]

Yeah, the resell value is often lowered because the brand name amtters and because some folks just try to get rid of stuff as soon as possible

[vale lion]

u right

I thanked them already it's js I forgot abt tested

yesterday*

since I fell asleep

[silk zodiac]

No worries, it happens lol

Hope the deal works out for you

[vale lion]

i might manage to get him down to £500 gbp

u think that's a steal?

[silk zodiac]

Defo, lmao
