[poll] notso wants a new guitar

[notsol337]

Question is... which one do I want?

I primarily play speed/power metal, so a fast neck and awesome tone are a plus.

Here are the guitars!

I Recommend this one, its a Schecter C1-Artist, for $100 more you get SD JB pick-ups which sound either the same or better than real gibson pick-ups, set-neck construction, Black Marble Body/Neck/Head binding, Tonepros bridge, and a 5-way pick-up switch for true fender sound!

I'm saying this because i own it and i recommend people get Schecter over anything in the price range, i own 2 Schecter, this one and the C1-C1assic (the Blue One)

It's what I use for recording riff demos. Pretty fat sound.

schecter all the way..i personaly like the C-1 elite

 

[notsol337]

My friend's little sister has a Schecter, and I don't like the way the neck plays. Also, I plan to plop some EMG pickups in eventually anyway. <3 I'm still leaning explorer though. (Of course, I also need to get more money!)

 

[.inferno.]

I'd go with the explorer. I am planning on buying a new electric guitar as well. Looking for suggestions!

Hope your not talking about Active EMGs, i have an ESP Ltd Viper 400 with EMG 81 set active, if you plan on installing active pick-ups like mine, you must know that you must cut holes in your guitar to install the battery pack for it to actually work, not sure if you want holes in your guitar!

Custom jobs require either years of experience or some extra money to have it customized, its not worth risking a pickup job like that. Also on a side note, i wouldn't recommend EMGs unless you have an amp that you can hear the true sound of it, sounded like crap on my Fender 100watt 2x12' solid state combo amp but now its a BEAST on my B-52 AT 100 100watt all tube half-stack!

Great sound requires great equipment.

Oy, I didn't think about the whole "cutting holes in the guitar" bit. That sounds entirely... unfun. I only have about 2 years of playing on and off under my belt, and all that I know I've taught myself. All I know is that my second party Telecaster just doesn't do it for me anymore, lolz. Metal with a Telecaster (it sounds pretty silly to me, anyway.)

Best to stick with passive pick-ups than active, sound better for clean and some good crunch out of distortion as well!!!

 

[notsol337]

I will soooooo get passive pickups then! Eventually.
