Hi.!

I need your advise on guitar selection. I played guitar in a metalcore band, currently im using cheap les paul.

so im planning to buy Schecter guitar since i saw my fav band, The Devil Wears Prada, is using it, and using Ibanez Tube Screamer. Sound awesome. not just that, and i saw some local metalcore band also using schecter. the conclusion is i like the tone and the design is not bad and i like it very much.

suddenly, my drummer (before he joining my band, he played guitar and got many experiences) said that, "dont get schecter, it sound "clear", get ibanez prestige, sound "mid" that suitable for metalcore genre, then he gave me some example band that using it such as August Burns Red and Asking Alexandria. unfortunately im not into Ibanez type nor its design.

so here's the deal, compare to this two guitars, Schecter vs Ibanez, what is the differences? pickup? wood? anything and which one you would prefer?? and suggest me the right guitar for my band genre.

btw. im using Ibanez Tube Screamer pedal effect.

please advise.

ok, how about schecter omen-6 / c1 vs ibanez RGA prestige?

my budget is +- 2k

Hi All,

Thanks for all your comment and opinion.!

yes, i need to look and test it out first before deciding.

additional information here, im looking for a guitar without tremolo/floyd rose . coz im not into guitar solo type hence im more in guitar riffing and technical stuff.

yesterday i go to bentley damansara and look around on Ibanez section, try to do some survey which guitar suitable to me. i found an Ibanez DN530K *i think* (purple color) that match with my style (the weight, design, the curve neck just like LP) BUT im not tested it.!!!!! im afraid if i call the assistance and tested it out consider that i would buy it on the spot.! i still haven't test yet on schecter. oh mai oh mai......
