What is a suitable guitar for thrash/heavy metal style?
`ve got some 600$ and am going to buy a new guitar, im playing for about 4 years with a washburn Xseries guitar, the style im going to play is thrash so i want a guitar to work ok for this style, my favorite brands are Ibanez and ESP, but what do u guys recommend?
What kind of pickups, body neck..etc is the most preferred for this style?
Thanks in advance:)
nice, i agree with your prefrences. if your short on cash definetly go with an ibanez rg. esp and schecter are my personal favorites, but esps, are going to be about $1000. so for $600 i'd say go with a schecter, more specifically a tempest custom or tempest hellraiser.
personally if i were you i'd save up another $400 and get an esp ec 1000, but those schecters are great two.
best pickups: Emg 81/85 also refered to as the zack wylde set, almost every metal band there is uses these. i prefer seymour duncan blackouts, because they are heavier and more natural sounding. also seymour duncan dimebuckers are good ( dimebag's pickups) and so are dimarzios.
Best Body/ Neck wood: definetly mahogany, it provides a heavier, warmer sound, all 5 of my guitars are mahogany.
Tuning keys: Grover locking tuners for sure, my guitars with these babies, literally go out of tune maybe once every 6 months.
