Whereas if he was after a 7 then I'd have said Schecter. Part of the problem with Schecter though is that they have an exclusive distribution deal with Sound Control, which means that the prices aren't that competitive AND you can't half the models.

thats fair enough.

I can't believe I forgot about Ibanez, they're a must to check out for good value for money guitars.

I like the Schecter tempest custom, and blackjack. Good value for money i'd say. But then again i can mad my necks and tweaks little bits and bobs to sort it out. And i dont think i will ever use stock pups again (unless they are BKPs :) )

Ok, i had another look at the schecters (I originally discounted them as i'd have to travel to even demo one).

And i really like the telecaster blackjack. Only trouble is, soundcontrol (the only place i can find that even deals with schecters) don't have it in stock...

The tempest one is also cool i guess. I guess there's only so much more online forums can help me.

Or you could shell out 380 on a flight to Las Vegas, get a cheapo room somewhere near Sunset Station in the Suberbs and spend like a madman on Pawnshop guitars. There's millions of them!! You could do it all in 48 hours there and be back in time for the 'News' on BBC1 by Teusday!  8)

I played one of these today, ummm, was quite nice, for duncan designed pups through a peavy valve king combo, not too bad. Both pups on was may fav as a SC and P-90 lover. Band points, the painted on binding and purfling was the biggest pile of shitee i have ever seen! it was atrosious. I parts the purlfin on the top was strainght, not following the body shape and the binding got sanded through a bit in parts, aweful. Still, a reasonable guitar for £399
