hmmm ok... so ive got my LP as my kinda workhorse axe... covers most stuff with the BK... but im after something a bit more into shred territory... some of you may remember i went on a craze for a super-strat a while ago... and thats the same kinda thing coming back.. BUT... i no longer want a trem... so now... instead of wanting a metal axe on which a trem is a necessity... its the opposite... i want a metal axe WITHOUT a trem...

any recommendations?

there are lots of ibanez, LTD and maverick superstrat type guitars with hardtail bridges. best thing would, of course, be to go try a few. did you ever try your pod through that amp?

Look into the Ibanez SZ320 sam. I used one for a while untill i bought my 7 string. Very nice guitars and dirt cheap.

well, new price and NOT searched. Just remembered playing it and being very impressed (is neck-thru too).
Neck is wonderful (well for me anyway) and string-thru-body sustained well and sooooooooo easy to re-string :)

yeh neck-thrus make me want to cry... i want one so bad...

and its satin... and like you said... string-thru... hard-tail.... two h/b's no single coils... definately my kinda guitar...

just costly... found only one on ebay.. in america...

Schecters are reasonably priced and are always a joy to play, you could do far worse than checkout a C1.

:twisted:

I thought you had that ESP in the strange bluey green colour :? Surely you can just block off the trem, get a tremel-no or something?

Certainly did mate. It was an incredibly comfortable guitar. I used it in my band for a couple of months till i switched back to 7 strings and it held up well. It really took a beating. I got mine for just under £200 you might be able to find one cheaper.

I still badly want one of these 7-string Schecters. They're pretty metal and have no trem. ;)
