What metal guitar should I get?
So, i already have two guitars: An Ibanez Gio, but the qualitiy is kinda bad compared to other guitars and the pickups dont sound that good. I also have a great guitar (Jackson KVXMG) which i really love, but it has a floyd rose system and in my band we often play stuff in other tunings so im looking for a non-floyd rose guitar that has a good qualitiy and is better than my Ibanez Gio. I dont have a specific model in my mind but ive got some ideas:
First of all, some things about myself:
-I like pickups that have a punchy and chugging sound(for example EMG Pickups, but Im open for other brands) but are also nice for shredding and soloing
-I like Thrash Metal and Classic Metal and I love Metallicas tone from Ride the Lighning
Here are my first ideas for my guitar:
-It should have at least twentyfour frets
-It should have active humbuckers if possible, i thought about EMGs/ Seymour Duncans as they were rated really good, but im also open for other suggestions
-like i said before: it should not be a Floyd Rose but have a stable whammy bar so i can still be able to do cool tricks
-I like guitars that feel comforable to play -im willing to spend a bit more on that guitar as i'll be using it for gigs - the shape or the brand of the guitar doesnt matter as long its a good guitar :)
Id really appreciate any suggestions!
