Hi all you guys!
I need some help in choosing a guitar to change to. At the moment I play a Ibanez SAS36FM and I really like it. It plays wonderfully. BUT! I want a guitar with a little more sustain and weight to it. Preferably an Ibanez because I really like how they feel, but the thing is that I rarely use the wammy bar so that's not really something i need. This is what I look in the guitar I want: Allround guitar Humbucker pickups (no wammy) easy played Give me suggestions please! Thanks a lot! |

You just described a Gibson Les Paul perfectly ... if you canlt afford a standard at $2000, there is a studio version at $1000, and Epiphone copies around $500 or less.

How much are you looking to spend? Ibanez do some nice guitars but some can be quite expensive

Thanks alot! I will look into everything and try to find what I want! I think you should really check out Dean Hardtails. You can get them with or without wammy bars (I think most don't have them). I've never played one but from what i've seen from them they look awesome, sound awesome and play awesome. MAB plays them so that should give them a good reputation. Here is the Dean website, they are on this page that I have linked. http://www.deanguitars.com/electrics.htm#hardtail Here is a video with MAB playing one check it out. http://youtube.com/watch?v=UiT6qtM09tI This post has been edited by Unleash-The-Shred: Nov 13 2007, 02:39 AM |

One more thing. Any guitar can be a "shred" guitar. You just have to have the skill to play it.

I'm liking that dean guitar, and the player of course he rocks. I'm loving the look of the emerald green and midnight blue usa hard tails though

I've always loved Hardtails. I want to try one out but none of the shops in my area sell Dean guitars.

If you want an Ibanez you could check out the RGA series.
