Favorite Guitars for $1,300 or less

[FSU_Seminoles]

as I said I'm looking for a new guitar for mint used guitar. I have about 1,300 to spend on it and there's a few that have caught my eye.

I started playing jazz, I mainly play metal ... leads ... I'm not sure whether I should just get a round guitar, easy to play so that I can keep improving. Or get some other guitar that would look cool on stage and so on.

the LTD H602 I believe is called looks cool, some american starts as well, schecter looks cool, RR5 looks cool, ernie ball also ...

I don't know what to get ... any advice

For that much, I would get a minty Hamer USA Studio Custom. You could get one a just a few years old for that much. Superior instrument for Metal and Jazz. Jack.

I've never played a GMP that's been anything less than a totally bitchin' guitar and I'd imagine this one will end well under $1k.

Just my 2 cents, but G&L and Brian Moore make some kickass guitars in that price range. I have a Legacy HB (USA Made) and it'll do just about any music (2 single coils and a hum that'll definatly do metal) I've recently bought the G&L and and plan to buy another soon. Of course Schecter and that GMP are also my other picks. Check with our dealers on the top of the page, I'm pretty sure Matt carries most of these guitars mentioned in the thread

Check out the Carvins on Ebay. There's a ton of really cool used ones, and you really get a ton of bang for your buck.

My Hamer USA Artist Korina HB:



You can find these in good shape for around $800-$900 and they come with either P90's or Duncan 59's. It would be great for Jazz, as would the Artist Mahogany which would run a little bit cheaper. Of course, I got mine for $599 because Guitar Center had a bunch of idiots working that day. And, I had it signed by the founder of Hamer guitars last month.

Get a used GMW. Can't be beat, some of the best deals out there.
