GMC Forum _ GEAR & PRODUCTION _ Which Guitar Do You Think Is Better?

Posted by: TreyDeschamp May 20 2008, 10:09 PM

Well I was wondering which guitar I should get

Alexi Lahio signature

or

Jackson RR24?

I really like Jackson guitars. I love the crazy shapes and their headstock but I have also been looking at Alexi Lahio's signature. So I made this topic to ask which one is better or which one do you think I should get. laugh.gif

I recently played both and I have to say that the Alexi sucked with the Emg Hz but rules with the Blackout pickup (the newer alexis have the new Seymour Duncan Blackout pickup). With the Blackout the Alexi sounded better than the Jackson but the Jackson quality was better than on the Esp (it's just an Ltd actually). The guitars are almost equal, you'll have to try them both at a shop and compare them to each other to find out which one you like more.

I have been thinking of doing that. There is a place about 30-45 minutes away from my house that has the RR24 and I have heard from a friend that they have had the Alexi but I'm not sure if thats true. Plus the other thing is that I dont wanna have my dad pay like 1000 and somethin dollars on a guitar that doesnt sound good.

I had only troubles with signature equipment, so I would recommend Jackson.

if you like Jackson {and know the quitar}go for Jakson... or like i'm write before try out The Alexis and then decide....
it's realy good to know what you want cool.gif .i'm beginer so i'm still not sure which style i'm be like to play mostly..so when is coming my time to buy new quitar...i'm will be on trouble laugh.gif Right now i'm like Ibanez 2550Z{becouse thats is versatible quitar}...but what i'm like changing pretty fast laugh.gif and i'm also have lot of positive and negative recomendations{for every each quitar} and thats make me sick...actualy about 2550Z lot of negative fedback for me was like don't buy it..you are beginer and tremolo quitar is not for you

I would have gone with the Jackson as i know they are of optimal quality and sound.

@ Besip

Well m8, I believe (with a reason) that most of signature equipment is both relatively pricey and low quality because they put a name on it and people expect to get the same gear as their idol uses. In most cases their idols didn't use anything like that and had custom made pieces that were 10x better.

Not all signature models though wink.gif
