Hey, I'm looking to buy a new guitar and have browsed around a lot, but I'd still like some expert comments
 .What I'm looking for: Sound: J-Rock (see below for examples) I was thinking about an ESP since it seems it's quite common in Jrock. Don't know which one though. (I also wonder how a stratocaster / les paul / ibanez would be for this type of music.) Price Range: 800-1400 USD is what I'm expecting as a price. (although it's flexible.) I want it to be a guitar which I can use for a long time and wouldn't need to upgrade when I get more serious. Sound examples: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fXYV2zQW9cE (Wotakufighter, Totorock, ESP forest GP? Bit too expensive though )https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ACpkG-agIM4 (Dir en Grey, ESP again?) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a-GMo_iFT-U (Lolita23q) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ly_vhsRLcCQ (Belive In Sytle) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GDlSYkK81tI (Enoz) Etc. Thanks a lot. |

J-Rock doesn't need a special guitar; nearly every shape and maker will do fine. The reason why they all play ESP is that ESP is a japanese guitar maker that has most J-Rock bands as their artists:

Go to a store and try guitars in diffrent shapes and from diffrent companies until you find one that feels right for you... --------------------  Gear: - Jackson USA Select KV2 King V with EMG 81/85 - Gibson Les Paul Custom Arctic White with EMG 81/85 - Ibanez Rg 8527 J Custom 7-String with DiMarzio Evolution and Air Norton - Peavey 6505+ head with Marshall 1960AV 4x12 cab - Peavey Vypyr 30 Practice Amp - Dunlop Crybaby From Hell, Maxon OD808, Boss TU-2, MXR CarbonCopy, ISP Decimator, MXR Custom Audio Electronics Booster |

Zakk is right, any guitar can be used for J-Rock, and I think ESP is a great choice. It has better value then some LP's out there.
