QUOTE (Sircraigery @ Feb 18 2009, 06:43 AM)  What is coil tap. I'm selling a guitar, and someone asked me if my guitar had it. I didn't have an answer for him If Humbuckers can sound as a single coil element, for an example: If you switched you're lead humbucker on, it could give you the option to use the single coils within the humbucker seperatly. This is used to simply get a single coil sound  . If you still don't understand the coil tap here's a link where it is explained: Guitar coil tap and guitar coil tapping xD's Yannick This post has been edited by Yanzibar: Feb 18 2009, 10:40 AM -------------------- My gear

From your suggestions I would go for either the PRS or the Epiphone, but seriously, you should check out those guitars yourself, after all YOU will be the one playing on your new guitar, so YOU have to like it. Try as many guitars as possible, only like this you can really compare them and see what you like most in the end.

QUOTE (inertia @ Feb 18 2009, 02:50 AM) I also want a guitar with proper fret markers, I really like the look of the Schecter C1 Classic but I wouldn't be able to locate frets with that thing haha! I have a C-1 and it's absolutely no problem because there are dots on the neck. Besides the inlay has "dots" / spirals where the fret markers would normally be. I can absolutely recommend you this guitar!Jonas -------------------- My Website | My Gear | Elixir Nanoweb Strings Review | Installing Schaller Security Locks

My vote on 2 guitars, but as everybody said, try them all out if possible in local stores, and see how they fit you.

QUOTE (inertia @ Feb 19 2009, 03:04 AM) Thanks for the feedback everybody, I'll definitely try as many as I can and hopefully leave the music store in Toronto with a new guitar. If I get the PRS I will definitely put locking tuners on it, as has been mentioned it will go out of tune pretty quickly without them. I just love the sound of seymour duncans though so I guess we'll see. I recommend PRS but its really up to you to see what guitar feels like "the one" in your hands...Once you try all possible choices you will easily know which one to get..Good luck with the music store visit!

QUOTE (inertia @ Mar 5 2009, 02:44 AM) So I ended up getting an ESP H-500, it suited me almost perfectly (except without tremolo), it's a discontinued model similar to H-1000 without the fancy inlay work. It has the 24 frets, the 2 duncan pickups that I wanted, awesome grover tuners that stay in tune, and the best part is the 5 way switch. Normally you don't see that much on humbucker guitars as far as I know, but you basically get 2 out of the 5 settings use one coil from each humbucker at half output so it's not as hot and quite single coil sounding, totally amazing, couldn't be happier. And it was only $700 Canadian, which I guess is about $600 USD. It reminded me very much both in playability and look to the Schecter C1 Plus but with way better pickups. Here are the specs: * Construction/Scale: Set-thru / 25-1/2" * Body: Mahogany with flamed maple top * Neck/Fingerboard: 3-piece maple/rosewood * Nut Type/Width: Earvana compensated/ 42mm * Neck Shape: Thin U * Inlays: Abalone dots * Frets: 24 extra-jumbo * Binding: White (B/N/H) * Hardware: Black nickel * Tuners: Grover * Bridge/Tailpiece: Tune-o-matic style w/ String-thru body * Pickups: Seymour Duncan JB (  / 59 (N) Active* Electronics: Vol / Tone / 5-way switch Awesome specs man, congratulations!
