Hey guys,

So tomorrow I'm gonna be off to buy two(!) new guitars. I've been to the local music shop yesterday, played some guitars, and decided on which one I wanted. My friend was also there, because he wanted to buy a guitar as well. I realised before that the Ibanez I wanted before was way over my budget, and wanted to settle for a Jackson. Until the shop owner handed me a Schecter. I didn't want to stop playing it, felt like it was made for me! I actually wanted a tremolo, but decided not to go for that, because of the unavoidable tuning issues. My friend really liked the ESP LTD we played there, although I didn't because I don't like how it played. But his guitar broke down 1 or 2 weeks ago, and he really hated not being able to play.

We didn't have any money on us yesterday, so I decided to buy both of them and he would pay me afterwards. Here are some pictures of the guitars, when I get them, I will make some pictures myself.


This color and neck inlay.

This is the same guitar, only in white and with a dotted neck, which is less awesome.


This is the exact same guitar my friend is getting, only it doens't say "viper-50" in the middle of the fretboard, but something else.


O, and here is the schecter in the store.

Now wish me luck, I'm gonna try to get a good deal, for buying 2 guitars at the same time

Wow congrats on getting these two - they seem great! I hope you will get a huge discount for such a big buy!

Post some pictures when you get guitar home

Those Schecter's are quite nice guitars. I have a C-1 Blackjack that I really enjoy playing. The mahogany body really resonates well, and the fit and finish on the guitar is top shelf. I'm very pleased with mine. Enjoy!

I really like the SG type LTD

Some more pictures, I hope they don't take as much room as the other ones.
The Schecter Omen 6 Extreme is mine, the ESP LTD Viper 100 ST is my friends guitar. The Silvertone SIK-01(cobalt one) is my old guitar










Now if I could only get my hands on that Marshall I played in the store.... that thing was awesome!!
Oh well, off to saving money again

just out of curiosity, what ibanez were you going to get that was out of your budget?

Nice guitars! I really like the flamed top on the ESP, the Schecter looks sweet too
