Favorite non-Jackson guitar for recording metal??

[straycat]

Actually did a bit with my shell pink tele last weekend.The Fralin pick ups are nice and beefy when running both and the tone about half way,Mids on the amp set at 5.Very thick and luscious.
Did rhythm tracks first and filled in some lead on the bridge pick up and was very happy with the tone.
The guy that was doing the mixing said he never heard a tele that had that thick a sound.

Any guitar really. People say you can't get a good metal tone from a Strat, but I can. It all depends on your effects (providing you use any). I use a lot.

Mostly amp IMO not so much which guitar you use.

i had an old hamer Scepter V, all mahogany, ebony board, floyd, had the best rhythm tone, thick, chunky, nice lows & low mids, but still defined and articulate. one of the few guitars i wish i didnt sell.

Not anymore, but used to play with an older Hamer.
Back when they used to make pointies.

Which, they are doing again I might add.

My understanding based on the Hamer Blog is that they will make whatever you want now.

Holy crap... I have wanted a Hamer Standard for I don't know how long...

I was shocked at how good my Suhr records. Its a chambered body (Alder) standard with medium output pups (DSH, V60, V60) but it records so well it beggars belief. It's actually saved me money because I was going to buy more recording gear but the guitar sounds so good I think I'll stick.

My other go to recording guitars are an Ibanez J Custom and Jackson Soloist custom.
But my god, that Suhr takes some beating.

I use an 80's Yamaha RGX 612A,super strat much like the charvel Model 6. I had a 58 Gibson Explorer that was just TiTs to record with. Now I use my Sully #3 RC Firebird
