Nobody can tell you what you should like. And even then, the individual guitars in a brand and model seem to differ a bit from each other. Just go to all the guitar shops in your local area and try every guitar out thats in your price class. And then try some stuff thats more expensive, say, 600 bucks, because you might want to save some more cash to get an even better guitar. And one thing, don't go for looks. Because the guitar may look impressive at first, it will probably sound less than that (yes I mean B.C. Rich guitars)

Well, I hope this is worth something to you.

BC Rich guitars definatly have the coolest shapes but the worst tone and quality unless you have a lot of money to spend on a good one. I would do what spikyhairz said and go to a guitar store and try out every guitar in your price range.

Seems like any guitar under $400 (or under $600 for that matter) has only so-so pickups. So if you're really poor and have a very limited amount of money, think about getting an okay guitar for not much money and saving $200 to replace the pickups. Why would you want a guitar that just sounds okay when for $200 more you could have one that crushes bone and tears flesh to bloody shreds?

Just make sure whatever guitar you get plays well. Then put in the pickups to improve the sound. Watch out for sucking trems.

I doubt you'd ever be able to find a new one, but my RG 370 dx plays better than anything else i've played. That was $382. But I also put Dimarzio into it, so thats about a $600 guitar after the pickups and the installation.

I agree Schecters are quality guitars with quality parts and pickups (except for the really cheap low end models of course)

Yeah, but every brand has their low end guitars that you would never catch yourself dead playing.

i own two squiers, an affinity tele and a stagemaster 7-string, and they play better than alot of high-end guitars that ive played, so a high price tag doesnt necessarily mean a better guitar.

Yeh the new kramers arent that bad at all, i playe don of their neck through models and was surprised. Just replace the pickups and put and origanal floy in their and your set. They must be giving the korean kids like tin foil as payment because they sell these kramers really cheap.

Well, I'm saving dough to get myself a nice Jackson Kelly, or maybe a different model. At least a cheap model, since I'm going to replace the pickups sooner or later.

I recommend the Jackson DKMG, they has a killer sound to it with the EMG's and all.
