True, but you can always replace the shitty guts with quality goods. If it looks awsome, and sounds like shit, you can always fix the guts, but if it sounds great and looks like shit, that's about the best look you're going to get with that great sounding guitar...
(but in any light, I'd choose sound over looks any day)

U can tell im proud of my baby

Clad in Shadows :

How's the gothic treating you? I was thinking about getting a Gibson LP Goth, but went for a Special instead. What kinda pickups are on yours? I'm a big fan of 490r/498t.. they really know how to rock. I'd still consider picking up a goth at some point, though, once I sell my crap guitar and old amp.

I just love flat LPs. That archtop is cool, but mm.. flat.. it seems to let the solos sing so freely.. but it's probably my imagination.

DAAAMN...

mine guitars


One is a Less paull modell (bit busted up, but plays very well, and the other one is a Vester. same modell like Jackson MG series

good for solo material

saving for a new guitar and a new amp ect.

My Warlock is an older one. Its got a floyd rose too. Im
gonna replace the pickups with some better ones. So im using
my Mocking bird for now. it sounds better than what i paid for it.
But I want to get Jackson, dont know what kind yet.

Schecter 007 Elite, Black with a maple finish

the 007 omen looks pretty good, somehting about 7-string necks make them seem out of proportion with the rest of the body though...

I have a shitty Jay-Turser with a really shitty bridge. It's hard to play anything on it. But it was only 200$ CAN (130 US) so broken as I am, I couldn't resist. You can't find cheaper.

Jackson Stealth HX : Eb
ESP LTD HB-300 : B

Hopefully soon I'll have some Bill Lawrence pickups in the HB-300.

i have a BC Rich KKV
not the cheap one, i have the one with the floyd rose and emg pickups
i also have an ESP Ltd M 202
both are pretty nice

I am shure this guitar will blow you guys away...

I have an Aria STG-series strat-type sunburst guitar w. 3 pickups, of wich i dont know what they are (but they are cheap default pickups, they suck)

Yes, I am definitly saving money, even though little unemployed me doesnt even have anything to save (literaly)

__________________

am i the only guy here who likes gibsons?

if it looks like shit you can always refinish it

No, I love Gibsons too. I have four now. And I am posting here again since I got those four.

I have a Gibson Flying V 67 reissue in Heritage Cherry as my main performing guitar and practice guitar. I love it, because it is very comfortable. It feels like an old friend when I play it. I keep it in Standard E and play a lot of thrash metal and it's bridge pickup (the Gibson 500t), has the highest output of ALL Gibson humbuckers so I can thrash it out a LOT with that V.

I have a Gibson Gothic Flying V which used to be my main Guitar but since the 67 V, I have put that Axe in Standard D. It is REALLY bass heavy for some reason. Even when I use the bridge pickup the bass rings in clearly. I'd use it just for hard and heavy songs because the neck pickup is too bassy for a clean sound and the bridge pickup makes the the clean sound awful.

The third is a black Gibson Les Paul Studio which I travel around with and practice while away. I guess it would be considered my secondary guitar because I leave that in Standard E as well.

Fourth is a 1984 Gibson Explorer in a yellowed white and a Kahlar tremolo. I got it off ebay for 600. I wanna work on it a little bit (as in the post, giving my guitar the works), but as of now I tune it a half step down.

Well, thats it.

Hey people. I just got an Ibanez EX series guitar yesterday. It's tuned at a B right now with 12's on there. My other guitar is an Ibanez RG 120 series guitar that I used for everything before, but since I got the other one, I'll stay tuned between a D and E for Black Metal, and the newer one for Death Metal Only!..:[

I have an Ibanez GSR 200 and it's a good bass guitar! And I think I want buy me a BC.Rich Platinum Warlock WHS 2003 New B Stock in the next time! Anybody know anything about this bass guitar?? It's a good one ?? Would be nice if somebody can tell me something about it!

before: -------> after:

ahh stop! i'm trying to forget that gibson makes such ugly guitars lol nah, they're nice guitars, too. but if i got anything but another les paul, it'd only be an SG. my les paul special is kind of inbetween a LP and SG, though.. i think it's just about perfect. slim 60s taper neck, flat body, no freakin annoying pick guard. if only the pickup switch was in a convenient spot.

cheers to gibsons though

well as time progresses many of us have a change in equiptment. i no longer am an owner of a westone electra spectrum, but now i have the warlock mentioned earlier, and an ibanez rg350dxwh. very good guitar

Yeah he was. They are all probably sold now but check ebay once a month. It might turn up.

Freeze if you do have/get a Jacksons Warrior i strongly advise you to get EMG 81/85 installed, it makes it sound so much better, the hz muddy up to much on the bottom strings, but once you get an 81/85 setup you have one mean fucken axe

I got myself a JEM Jr because i was pretty pissed off with my earlier guitar.....I was thinking that the Jr will come no where near a 'EVO' but to my surprise it is one hell of an axe...Proud of it! When i have some more money i think i'll get myself a decent Ibanez series....

Which series of Ibanez do u think is the best for MEtal????? RG?????

What the fuck are you talking about?? Why the hell would i check ebay once a month if i own the fucking guitar. I said the guitar kicks ass not dave mustaine.

gibson LP gothic with emg 85/81

I use a BC Rich Platinum series JRV custom (non-standard BC Rich head, fret markings and body material) with the BC Rich standard BDSM pickups. Though I'm gonna change the neck pickup, BDSMs don't quite cut it solo-wise - they're fucking killer for rhythm with the rig I use though. Also, I use 12 gauge Elixir strings in B tuning

Jackson Performer PS-4
I really like this guitar, great for metal.

i use a black ESP LTD F-200

bought a Washburn Dime 332 lately

Those are the crappy bc rich stock pickups, unless you changed them. I have the april one...its pretty good for the price...Thats basically my "and thats my really awesome looking guitar" guitar. I personaly really like Schecter guitars. The one I played was $600. Go out and try them out yourself.

__________________

yea actually they are the crappy bc rich pickups on the guitar i thought they werent but they deffinately are. i want to get new pickups but om not sure which ones to get, im into heavy metal and my style of playing is like death metal with a lot of palm muting and in drop D. any one no what are some good pickups i should get.

EMG

ATIF! WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO TO EVERYONES POST? GRRRRRR Fucked up my qoute and everything.... worthless mod

I have my awesome Raven 1000Q and a not so cool old epiphone sg. Just friday bought a jackson from the late eighties of my friend for $20. he sold it to me just cause he hates tremolos and especiallly double locking ones. its an awesome jackson (plays good,sounds Good)not sure which one it is. gotta do some reaserch on what model it is.

lol! wow

Well I play an old yamaha acoustic, and a DeArmond SG style in deeep green... sexy guitar :-P
Plays nice though! THey don't make em anymore tho... fender bought DeA...

I've got a Schecter (I think that's spelt right but sp?) 7-string Diamond Series (which is broke anyway!) and an Epiphone SG with loads of stickers tuned to drop A (for Nile!!!!!). I love my SG! And Nile!!!!! And the fact that I can play Nile on my SG!!!!! With my teeth...

My guitars are:

Ibanez RG7420 7-string, perfect for detuned things such as In Flames and Arch Enemy

what do u guys think of Ibanez RG 550?
Le' me know

I use a bc rich warlock tuned to D#

Who have got 8-string guitar as Messhugah have?

check the downtown to G wtf thread, somebody in there does


i use an epiphone g 310 with emg 81 and 85 and a parker nitefly

__________________

Well I have a whole load of guitars cause I'm in a few different bands so I need different tunings for some. But some of the more interesting are:

Schecter USA Custom strat (floyd rose)
Old Ibanez RG550 which has a load of switches and different pickups (Dimarzio Tone Zone and Air Norton and a Duncan Antiquity Strat (aged))
Dearrmond (Cheap Guild) with EMGs (Zakk Wylde set 81 and 85)
A locally made fretless guitar
Peavey Predator 7 string

and some other stuff semis, acoustics etc..

Was interested to read peoples thoughts on Kahlers cause I've never tried one. The Schecter has a real floyd in it and it's great, but I agree that the copies aren't too good, i'm not even that keen on the ibanez trems.

Black Schecter V-7 got some of the same specs jack owen has on his tuned to Bb
Gibson Les Paul studio alpine white detuned to D
Aria Pro 2 my first guitar standard tuned lots of dust and strings are starting to get rusty but I had to keep it

I wanna get a ESP M-207 but they don't make it anymore so i gotta E-bay or find a used one. I as thinking of getting a BC rich warlock 7 string 2 but who knows

black bc rich warlock . aint kahler flatmount tremolos?

LTD EC300. Works well enough for me.

gibson les paul special faded cherry

ibanez rg 370 dx blue

ibanez silver cadet black/black (h/s/h strat copy)

alvarez artist midnight special black/black (acoustic)

I have a lot of guitars. I listed some of them earlier in the thread, it would be a pain in the ass for me to list every single one of them.

My bro came to visit, and he brought his washburn dime, and well im going to buy it of him for $400 (Can.), but this is not a regular dime, its an old 333 red one, and on the head stock it says "Diamond Darrell Sig." not "Dimebag Derrell Sig."

P.S. I going to remove the sticker he put on it... I Dont like it at all.
