Needs to be powerful, doesn't need to have a good clean sound since I have my wonderful strat, but I want something that yells Metal! Give me your suggestions. Budget is 2000 euros. Alder body for sure... Any color suits but preference for red or black. Original Floyd Rose, Ibanez Edge Pro are the only ones I accept. Or no tremolo.

Also if You would know exactly what You would like, maybe a custom guitar could be a good idea. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

The horizon FR-II was the one I wanted but, after seeing a video on youtube, I started to doubt it. I've had the pleasure of testing the guitar myself but, for it's price, wanna make sure that I'm gonna do the right buy. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Walk in to any of the Shops and talk to an assistant, explain (as you have here) what you're after and that you're not there to mess around. When they know that you have serious money to spend, they'll all be willing to help, especially if they make commission from a £1500/2000 sale!!!
