at last

hell nobody else posted so figured I would get it going. What Electric Guitar do you use to shred with?

I like my B.C.Rich Mockingbird (NJ)

Fender - Strat Squire

Oh yeah! XD

Whilst it's not the best guitar, it's reliable and it does the job, so it's not so bad... I'm after a Gibson myself, though. I just love the sounds they can make! On the other hand, I do not want a Les Paul!! XD

^ Same. My strings buzz easily though, even when I'm playing on the frets fine.
I'd love another electric guitar though. I might get one for my birthday which is coming up. Not sure what :/

Well that depends on what you want to play.

I'm more of a metal kinda guy, so obviously that Mockingbird suits me well. I'm probably going to set an OFR on it sometime though, the licensed ones are horrible and I hate having to constantly retune.

Starom, I don't know your budget, but if you want a gibson, I'd suggest the '58 Explorer model. They're really reliable, and have a good sound.

I checked it out and it certainly looks amazing! ^^ Like you, I'm more of a metal player (although I do often play rock/jazz guitar)... Would it be suitable for that sort of playing?

I'd love a B.C. Rich guitar, I think it was the Dagger design I liked the best, except my dad thinks that they won't sound good and he'll be doing the buying. Or this Indie guitar I once saw or a Gibson SG, however they're quite expensive. :/

I had a good look and aside from the Explorer, I also liked a Dean guitar called the "Razorback DB". It was pretty cheap and looked pretty magnificent! ^^ I just wish it had a whammy bar... >.<

Epiphone Les Paul Sunrise Finish :D

I wouldn't see why not; I suppose it depends on what model Explorer you're after, but they've got a kind of wide price range.

I suggest asking someone who's more experienced you know personally, than some salesman at a Guitar Center who just wants to sell you the most expensive thing.

The Dagger caught my eye originally, but I'm not really into the electro-acoustic thing. The soundholes kind of bugged me.

I'm not into the Razorbacks...I think they're mostly ugly. About the only attractive one I've seen is Matt Heafy of Trivium's.

I don't have a whole lot of experience playing them, but they just didn't feel right in my hands. That may differ for you, though.

Same here, I usually hate those wholes, but for that guitar I could maybe make an exception.

I absolutely loved the look of the Razorback, but I've never played on one, so I don't know about the feel yet... But it's good to hear other's opinions ^^

Yeah, just have to try one out sometime. Personally I think they just feel funny, and don't like how they are sitting down while playing.

My Mockingbird's excellent in that area =D

Epiphone Les Paul.

I like it but sometimes wish I had gotten a strat. All my favorite players use them.
