HaloMods "Classic" Read-only Archive

Okay so im getting a new guitar (4th one.) These are the ones i want, i will also appreciate suggestions (price range no more than 400.)

Specs

1st definaly looks more ba

They seem pretty much the same. I would go to a music store and see which one sounds better.

**Updated new guitar** I wan to hear from the people that know guitar hardwares what one would sound the best and what one would last longer. but for looks, i like the last and the first one.

I have the first one you listed. Mines is the Kerry King Wartribe edition though. It rizzapes.

i would say deffinatly the Ibanez. has better sound there built better. ther also for more ranges of music. you can go from HEAVY HEAVY like job for a cowboy or cannibal corpse to stuff such as blues or country (although i HATE it) i have an ibenez and trust me they are well built. but i still prefer my jackson over anything.

sorry i dont like any of those, ive been playing since i was five and i strictly play my RR3 custom. here are some pics i photo shoped out the back ground so you guys could get a better look




SPECS:
* Alder body with flamed maple top under transparent finishes
* Bolt-on maple neck
* Seymour Duncan JB (bridge) and Jazz (neck) pickups

although if i were to recomend a guitar this one would have to be the best that i can think of. it will last you a LONG time and not to mention it sounds amazing. i have one, just not my own pic to show you. but here is a link to it and a pic. oh and its $419

don't get a b.c. rich warlock no matter what draws you toward them. they suck. they break easily. the paint is cheap, and the wood breaks fast.
if you really want a good one, i'd suggest the one posted above mine, the Alexei Laiho signature guitar. it's really nice, and usually goes for around 400-2000 dollars. they get dents easily though because the fin is rather large and can be hit on objects easily if not careful.

WARLOCKS SUCK ANIS BIG ANIS THEY SUCK BEYOND GOD HIMSELF

not really i have the ESP one and its the one with the pin stripes and is like $2400 and i have not had a dent yet. but my friend has that one. the one that i posted and it does sound VERY close to the tone and pitch of my $2400 one.

i would say get it its fairly affordable and it sounds just as good if not better than any EXPENSIVE guitar does. not to mention you get the floyed and that pretty much pays for itself cuz alone there like $300-400. and the EMGs they are about $100 and $80 for installation. so you really get a good deal on this.

I've had a Warlock for six years now. It is in perfect shape... Original wood, original PUs, original paint, original everything. I play it everyday.

Out of those three, I'd say the Ibanez. I don't like agathis very much and locking tremelos are a pain in the ass to get used to. I dont like the neck color on the ibanez, the inlays on the 2nd BC rich and white guitars sometimes get dirty easily if you are not careful. I could be wrong, but it looks to me like you like to play a lot of harder stuff. Unless you are getting a really high end BC rich I wouldnt get one. Im not saying they are bad, but you can get something better. Ibanez RG2EX1s are nice and they are only $300 and the pickups are nice for a cheaper guitar. It has a wizard 2 neck, dot inlays, and 2 humbuckers. It doesnt have a pickguard, the single coil in the middle like the one in the pic you posted or a tremelo bridge though. Schecter makes nice guitars too. Id say look at guitarcenter.com or musicians friend or something if you want more variety. But if you can, play the models before you buy them.

i dont agree. alot of times there tone is to "warm" for me. i need something with some power behind it such as a Jackson or a Dean with a bad ass tremlo and locking head stock. but of course i like to play the heavy and fast stuff, but thats just me. and if you want a good amp i would go with a krank half stack. they are the BOMB. that or a diamond half stack.
