Yes, as long as you avoid the Bronze and Platinum series, which are more for begginers. Any specific one you had you're eye on?

It wasn't me!

Higher end ones are lovely. Nice slim necks.

did you play it in Musicmaker by any chance? Did you also happen to be playing Enter Sandman?

In that case you were probably playing the bronze or platinum series;)

I'm not the best at the guitar but my last one broke and i was wondering whats a good guitar with a reasonable price?

i'd like a metal kinda sound,i know you can get this with pedals and amps but still, so any suggestions?

The NJ Series Kerry King V is a very good guitar, comes with EMGs, just like the man himself's. Avoid the cheaper Kerry King models though, and you should be ok.

I've also got a Body Art mockingbird, which is quite a good guitar indeed.

Say now, no thread hijacking! heheh
When I last went in to buy a guitar, there was so much to choose from that I had to 'compartmentalize' according to "Bang for the Buck".

These were my ideas, others may have better ones.
Under $200 - Squiers, Yamahas, and maybe Rogues
$200 to $500 - Ibanez
$500 to $1000 - Schecters and Ibanez
$900 and up - take yer pick, just about anything is fine quality up there.

Warning:US dollar prices, not Euros

fairly odd way to go about things. The only way to really be happy with what your buying is exclude nothing and buy purely what you like and nothing else. Generalising is why gibson are still making so much money (its a gibson...its good). There are so many different brands in those price ranges that it would be a bit silly to neglect them when even a 100 euro guitar can be totally different to another. for example i would buy an epiphone special any day over a squier in the same way i would buy an esp over BcRich.

Rustar

I agree with everything you said....however, he said he was a fledgling guitar player and WAS looking for generalizations, geared towards metal.

A new guitarist isn't going to spend 3 hours in the store trying out 9 different guitars, he wants something reliable and, as I mentioned, "bang for the buck". Both Schecter and Ibanez supply that in spades.

sei046

aye but squier are hardly pioneers for cheap metal guitars. Well i recommend trying to spend that three hours in the store. Fcek the owners, just take your time over a couple of days or whatever and really try EVERYTHING! well whoevers idea is was to generalise i cant agree

jcoote

well said sei there is way too much **** like that...oh oh i want a les paul and a marshall that'll sound good..hell no i hate that combo...far too much money goin to waste on 'the best of the best'

Rustar

I think you guys are reading way too much into this. Not everyone is like us, with constant GAS attacks and wanting to own half the store everytime we walk in and live the rest of our lives there. The meat 'n' potatoes of that convo was -
Dr.Poca - Can you recommend a good cheap guitar?
Rustar - Yes.

If he walks in and finds a nice looking Ibanez that plays good for $300 (I DO recommend not going into the under $200 category), He won't be saying in a year, "This thing sucks! I hate that Rustar guy!"
Speaking of cheap guitars....I don't know why, but this thing stimulates my GAS gland.....
