Kim... get an SX...... that's the conclusion.... where you want a strat style or Les Paul style...... is really up to you...... I'd suggest a Les Paul style one if you like Noel's so much.....

And about the Black Beauty3 pup...... every Sunday I pass it and drool.....
But next guitar..... if I ever get one.... will probably be a Razor or a V style guitar.... MUST have a Floyd Rose trem...

anyone here has a Schecter C-1 Classic Electric Guitar? how does it perform? any comment? wat music does it suits?

Schecter's are very nu-metal, hard rock sounding.....
I think the band Chevelle uses Schecter's alot.....

I tried the Omen and Damien... very impressed with the Daminen.....

SX vs. Other brands

Well, I have had the pleasure to have owned an sx, 2 epiphones, a squire and a fender. Sold the squire to get an sx, sold the epi les paul to get a fender.

The SX in my opinion is great way to acquire a guitar which would bormally be out of ur budget range. I have an sx Tele and tested an sx strat. in terms of sound they are both good and better than squiers cuz of the pickups (squier use bar, not seperate poles) but i would have to complain about the make tho. The neck doesn't feel as good as a squier, the fingerboard is not as smooth and u need to get it set up properly like he said. And the logo.. oh.. the logo...

Never tried the sx lp myself, but it looks good. dunno how the neck feels like tho. Squiers arent worth it unless u get the higher end ones which cost around 900+ those are better built and worth ur money. But then again at those prices, u might as well hold out for a nice mexican.

Epiphones, u gotta be careful with, some are made in China now and are sold at ridiculously high prices. 2.2k for a chn epi at yamaha shops!!! wtf!? 2.4 for a korean! a bit overpriced imho. At that rice u cud already get a Jap fender mail ordered to you.

oh well, good luck with ur choice

If woh fatt brings in vintage white SX strat with maple board i'll get it immediately.. too bad they've only the sunburst.

Well, you can't really compare the Fender and the Epiphone....... both totally different styles of guitar.... Strats and Les Pauls are completly different guitars....

So you can't really say..."oh.... for the price of an Epiphone, I can buy a Fender!!".. Yes.... but does Fender make Les Pauls? Or SGs? Same can be said about Epis.... They don't make Teles or Strats...

If they both made the same type of guitars... then of course we can compare that.

And FYI.... most Epis are Korean/China made.... where else do you think they come from? Nashville???

SX Lespauls necks is as big as an xbox HUGE!! FAT !!
for me that is

superdav007 ; ive got a friend who has a c-1 classic.. from hearing him play, the guitar is quite an all-rounder but abit more towards metal.. neck-through, string through body for the sustain, the Vine of life inlays are awsome! but thats just my opinion.

^ How much did he get it for?

yamaha eg-303. anyone would know how it is and how much would it be?

erm.. don remember, but i think it was around 2.5k to < 3k . and he had to wait for the next batch to arrive.. bought it from ironwood.

Edit : this post is to answer HH7's question.. sorry Kimberly32 u posted just before i was gonna post

Yes, I agree they are totally different types of guitars. However, what I did compare them on were the price, not the sound, make, looks etc. I said that for the same amount of money that you spend on an Epi Lp, you could get a Japanese Fender mail ordered to you. The connection I was making, as you can see, concerns the price, not the type of guitar. My point was that Epiphone guitars are, recently, extremely overpriced compared to a few years ago when they could be obtained at around RM1.7-RM1.9K at Woh Fatt.

Yes, epiphones are not made in Nashville. Everyone knows that. No Sh1t. But there are two makers of Epiphones (factory, workshop watever) which are either in Korea and China. I have tested both and overall they are not of the same quality. Neither are the price the same (which explains the quality). As I remember, I mentioned the China Epis so that, if a buyer wishes to buy an epiphone, would check the label behind the neck/headstock to find out where its made. Esp for noobs. They dunno this stuff.

oh yeah, some epiphones are actually made in the USA. Prob not in Nashville but most probably on US soil eh? GOD SAVE AMERICAN GUITAR MAKERS! AND JAPANESE TOO!

Has anyone ever tried to ship a guitar from lets say Japan..?
How much will the costs be and.. will the customs tahan for some time?
Ishibashi sells damn nice fernandes LP copies.

Ooooh.. 1, 2, 3, 4 I declare a flaming war!!!

Hahahaha.... jk jk.....

But yeah... i have to agree that the China made ones arn't as good as the Korean made ones. Luckily my LP-100 is from Korea..... Not sure about my new Zakk Wylde Custom though...... Hopefully it's Korean or even *gasp* American made!!!

But if you're talking in terms of performance.... I still think Epis are still much, much higher standard compared to say, SX guitars. I'm not saying that SXs are bad.... but to me, an Epi is still an epi. Wood quality is better, the binding is better and general workmanship is better.

But that's just my opinion. Take it with a grain of salt.

lolx

Me too, well, epi had me at the logo. I wish Sx could come up with a proper name or logo that doesn't make it sound like a casio calculator lol jk jk

Blacktrix, is ur bullseye Les Paul an elitist or just standard? If elitist, then its American, if standard, then its Korean. Btw, I saw one in Swee Lee, You are in for a treat... Geourgeous!

However, the Gibson one in the glass walled room (which was filled with US guitars) was much better looking of course!!!

There are no Elitist version of Zakk's guitar..... it's just stated as a Epiphone Zakk Wylde Camo Bullseye Custom Les Paul.....

And yes..... it is an AWSOME looking guitar to behold..

Your Epiphone drools me...

Can anyone tell me an approx. price for a PRS Tremonti SE..?? Trying to get one...

Dude, do a search man

Music Instruments & Equipments Reviews Discussion, New: Tremonti SE & Mark Tremonti Model

if u want to get an epi, go to singapore.
