Recently I sold my old Wolfgang USA Special for 400 bucks. It was a beater and had a lot dents and dings in it. I want to replace it, but I'm stuck with trying to decide what kind of guitar to get. Gear-wise I have 4 super strats: 2 Charvel USA Pros, EBMM axis, P.O.S. Ibanez RG. I also have a Joe Perry LP and a Thinline Tele copy to get me different tones when need be.
I'm not exactly sure where to go from here. I was thinking of getting something a bit different. Maybe I should go for different body wods or a more radical shape. Then again, I could take the safe route and buy another Charvel USA pro. I love their neck shape, but my concern is that I don't want to be limited to just their fell, but with different pu's. In my SD1 i have a Suhr/Jazz w/ coil taps and my SC1 is stock. I could get the SD2 aand keep it stock as well, but I might want a change from their feel to keep them fresh.
So... I'm thinking about going for a different body shape and into Jackson territory. I also have a little under a grand to spend, and can't afford a CS and I'll proabably have to get my next axe used. I wanted some help determining which guitar is best for my needs. I should mention that comfort, feel, and quality are my first objectives. The guitar has to have a superb floyd unit. I was not satisfied with the trem on my last DK2M.
I've thought about the KE2 and am not sure. I've played the KE3's and wanted more, but never played a KE2. Any opinions?
Then there are the V's. Latley, I've been playing a bunch of V's at shops and have been really enjoying them. I actually like playing them sitting down in the classical position. Anyhow, how close in terms of feel and quality do the RR24/RR24M and Dremel V's compare to an RR1? I really like the RR1, but can't seem to find a good one in my price range.
There ore other companies who make comparable V's- ESP LTD and Carvin, Gary Kramer, UNK. I posted this question on HC and someone said I should see if Ran could build me one cheaply. If I went that route, maybe I'd just get a death kelly shape.
I guess my real question is what route should I take. And how do the upper level Jackson imports compare to their usa made counterparts?
