New Guitar Suggestions[views:2891][posts:16]___________________________________ [Nov 23,2006 10:03pm - dudeguy ""] Looking into getting a new axe for X-Mas and was looking for suggestions between the 400-600 dollar range. I'm currrently playing an LTD EC-300 Arch-Top Special and was looking for something that will play faster than this. The neck's a bit bulky for me and it just doesnt feel as comfortable as when I have an Ibanez, or something of the like, in my hands. Was looking at the Ibanez s-series Suggestions? |

| _____________________________________________ [Nov 25,2006 10:05pm - anonymousteinberg ""] Get the Ibanez. Our synagogue owns stock in it, and they're great underpriced guitars. |
| ___________________________________ [Nov 26,2006 12:09am - Niccolai ""] Stick with LTDs. Your EC300 is a 24" scale with a with a wide ass gibson-profiled neck. Try an MHNT model. I would avoid any ibenhads in that price range. Same with Dean and Washburn. You could probably grab a schecter hellraiser for that price, but you want a 25.5 scale, and I think those only come in 24.5. |

| _____________________________________ [Nov 26,2006 10:36am - infoterror ""] I've played Ibanez for years and they make a quality no-frills guitar. http://www.ibanez.com/guitars/series.asp?s=s&l=e The sample axe in the photo on this page is identical to one I own: http://www.ibanez.com/guitars/series.asp?s=ax&l=e It's not a rockstar guitar, but for sheer action + quality thick body sound it's an awesome unit. I'd probably upgrade some day to a Gibson SG, but farting around with guitars is only sensible when you have a label/sponsor to pay for it. (Yes, I'm Jewish in my soul when it comes to money... matzohs and Holocaust memorials are for me!) |

| ___________________________________ [Nov 26,2006 12:25pm - Niccolai ""] Explorers are short shale, thicker/slower necks then your EC300 (same neck size, but with a softer, stickier nitro finish). Plus they have a fat heel and no explorer has ever had decent stock pickups. Avoid like the plague. |
| _________________________________________ [Nov 26,2006 12:37pm - my_dying_bride ""] reg explorers are a bit bulky but if you could get your hands on a mattias jabs explorer 90 [img] its built 90% the size and it seems awesome, however i wont probably ever touch one so i cant jaw too much about it |
