hi there
so as i already stated in other threads, i'm still in the market for a quality strat-shaped guitar. don't you think it's interesting that like 80% of the guitars nowadays have a floyd rose or another floating tremolo?!?! i've been searching through ebay as well as a few online shops, and most guitars there are floyd loaded.
having that said, i'm looking for those features
-2 humbuckers
-NO DOT INLAYS
-fixed bridge
-24 frets
-normal shape, so no rhoads, V, warrior, bc rich etc
basically, i've narrowed it down to those few guitars (prices are for new guitars)
-jackson DKMGT (650 euro)
-jackson DK-6 COW (550 euro)
-jackson SLSMG (999 euro)
-esp ltd viper 1000 (999 euro)/ 400 (650 euro)
-esp ltd h 1000 (950 euro)
-schecter c1 hellraiser (although this one is pretty much out of question due to the CRAPPY european schecter distributor)
i don't like the fact that the ESP guitars are just the lower end ltd series, but lets face it, the "real" esp one's are just too damn expensive. actually, the slsmg as well as all the esp guitars except for the viper 400 are too expensive for me right now (although i could get quite a deal on the esp stuff due to my band mate's endorsement...i haven't asked yet, but the viper 1000 for example should not cost more than 400-500 euro MAX)
out of all those, the dinkys are the most reasonably priced ones, and of course, they're JACKSONS [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]
regarding the COW...well, i'm not sure if i could live with only one humbucker. i spend most of my time on the bridge, of course, and on my charvel model 3 i don't use anything else actually, but i like the neck sound for a few lead parts....so well...but then again it's 100 euro cheaper, AND has a real emg 81 instead of the emg hz stuff. i like the archtop, too.
so, to finally get to my actual question:
which of those guitars do you guys think is the highest quality one? i want something that has a GREAT sound, and is reliable. it also must play fast, i.e. the high fret access has to be very good.
any thoughts/ideas/opinions??
