  • Need your help to recommend a gear.....

    Well my friend has left it to me to choose something nice for him. His fisr intension is Fenders but he has never tried any of them as he is a beginner. Is there something from Jackson you would recommend that has a nice clean sound maybe close to some from Fender? I wish that this is not a really stupid question [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

          Well I guess SL2H would be better for heavy sound; right? whatabout SLS or SLATQH? I have never tried them but does any of them can have a sound like Les Paul or Fender strat American deluxe?

            THe SLS and SLATQH are great choices, but if he likes fender, he might do better with an SL1. It has 1 hum and two singles. It may look like a heavy metal ax, but it would be great for other stuff as well IMO.

            If you want to go used, you might want to look into a Surfcaster.

            Good luck!

              If he likes the idea of a Fender, then a hot rod'd strat should be right up his alley: Charvel USA Standard - HSS & Floyd.

                      Friend of yours, Ron? [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

                      Definitely a PC1 if he doesn't want the pointy headstock and sharkfin inlays.
                      Other than that, he can fight it out on Ebay for a nice Charvel Model model (Model 3, 4, or 5).

                      I'd avoid Fender and Gibson - they make crap [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

                          Then he can get a 5FX and add 2 singles, or a 5A and get H-S [img]/images/graemlins/eviltongue.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

                          Or he can get a 5 and do some coil-tapping [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

                            The heavy sound comes more from the pickups and amp setup than the guitar itself. Look at all the metal guys using Les Pauls or Yngwie on his strats. I would personally recommend an SL1T unless he wants a Floyd, then a normal SL1
