I've played and owned everything from Jacksons, Ibanez, ESPs, Fenders, Gibsons, and Schecters. My absolute fave, by and far was my Schecter CS-1 Elite. IMO, you can't go wrong with the higher end Schecters. But it all boils down to personal choice, the way the guitar feels and plays for you personally. I'd suggest going to a bigger music store and trying out a few that you like first. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

Just make sure you play the guitar for a while, put it down and then come back to it on another day and see if you still have the same impression with it. This will help in not making an emotional/spur of the moment decision. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

Even play the ones that don't visually appeal to you. Before you play the guitar, don't have any preconceived notions, and just see how you like it. You never know, you may find one that really clicks with you that you probably never thought would. We can only offer you assistance in telling you if the guitar is good quality or not. All the other options boil down to personal preference. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

You can check online resources for users opinions, I recommend Harmony Central for that ! Play many guitars before making your final choice. When you wrap your hand around the neck and your fingers find the frets you will know when you've made the right choice. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Well, for that sort of budget, if you want something along the lines of your current Ibanez but better, have a look around for an Ibanez Prestige model. What style(s) do you play/want to play?
