Unknown Guitar Companies?[views:5158][posts:13]________________________________________ [Nov 16,2005 9:15pm - Dead Language ""] Seeing that the selection in Musicians Friend is somewhat limited, what are some rare/unknown guitar makers out there? I'm looking for a guitar that would fit well for metal tones and I don't want to have to settle for an Epiphone or Jackson. :spineyes: |

| ________________________________ [Nov 16,2005 10:38pm - Eddie ""] i love esp |
| _________________________________________ [Nov 16,2005 10:57pm - Dead Language ""] Damn, Neil Moser is the man, thanks for suggesting that. |
| __________________________________________________ [Nov 16,2005 11:00pm - my_pretentious_erection ""] there's like a million companies, but boutique shit is always a ton of money... go to all the second hand instrument shops you can find and play with everything. |
| _________________________________________ [Nov 16,2005 11:08pm - Dead Language ""] luckily, i have a "ton" of money |
| _________________________________________ [Nov 16,2005 11:34pm - Dead Language ""] Hah, maybe I'll buy a guitar similar to Jerry Garcias. Take it away from it's psychedelic element, and it looks almost as "evil" as some BC Richs. |

| ______________________________________ [Nov 17,2005 1:36am - the rooster ""] i like ESP's best for metal (EMG pickups rule for heavy shit, but not the active ones... they suck), but i also use my SG and it pounds. not a fan of jacksons, mainly b/c of the tremolo (can't understand why people like those). jackson has one neck-thru model that i like, but it's really expensive. epiphones are just not as good as gibsons. |

I'm looking at a set of DiMarzio pickups for it though (DP102 - X2N for the bridge and a DP196 Virtual PAF (airbucker) for the neck). I haven't decided what I want to use for a replacement for my single coil in the middle position yet though... I'm thinking either a dual-rail single coil, or a mini-humbucker... |
