I`m about to buy a new guitar which will mainly be used for heavyrock and metal. I`ve not completely made up my mind yet, but I`m currently hot for an Ibanez RGA prestige. I already have an Ibanez RG with trem, but I want to change this guitar since it`s lot easier to make big changes to the tuning on a guitar with stringthrough (or gibraltar bridge as on the RGA).
So I wondered if anyone has experience with the active pickups LZ4 or the passive pickups V7/ V8 (all Ibanez pickupsand how they sound for different styles of rock and metal.
Otherwise, please tip me of other guitar candidates
I`ve checked a couple of brands, but the main problem where I live (small town at the Norwegian coast) is that the guitarshops don`t have so darn many guitars to compare (on of them got a bunch of Ibanez RG`s).
What I`m looking for is mainly a guitar for shreddingkind of metal, so I would like a flat and fast neck like Ibanez` wizard necks, stringthrough or solid bridge for easy tune and downtune, double and maybe a extra deep cutaway?
I don`t have experience with a lot of pickups or types of wood in the body (though I imagine that a heavy wood such as mahogny may give me heavy tone?) so I don`t have any specificrequirements here.
Price range: around 1000€ / 1300$, but have in mind that if you google and find the american price on the guitar, the norwegian price is often the double
