At the moment, can't recommend any 24 fret below the 1k range..... Not that I know of anyway.....

But why do you need 24 frets anyway? I'm buying one because I want to be like Herman Li!

*
the kiddo, he says he needs a 24 frets guitar for his exam .... i kinda wonder on that .. any truth ??? tongue.gif

thank you.

i found this :

retail at rm899, china made ... but price is gooood ahahahaha



24 frets for an exam? First time I heard of that....
I'm actually going to start Rock School grade 6, and so far, my teacher tells me nothing of using a 24 fret.....

as suspected, either the kiddo or this spruce guitar is trying to pull my other teeth for rm2k sad.gif

edit your link.

remove one http:// in your image link.
so here it is.

i tried one similar to that in harmony, frets are VERY wide and flat.
shredders will like it.

hey folks,

was at bentley, i found this ibanez RGR321EX, 24 frets, indon made, about rm1150. What are your opinions please?

user posted image


There are some cort axes going off slightly higher(maybe rm200-300 more), korean made, kx1 or something .. can't remember. Would this be better?

anyway, i assume better than those nameless, china made tongue.gif

Appreciate the inputs.

Thanks.

kids dont need 24 frets.
has this gotta do with some stupid teacher saying you need 24 frets for some guitar lesson?

hahahah ... i suspect that too, everdying.

he came back one day, excitedly "exam's coming!! exam's coming!! i need a 24fretter for this piece im doing .... ( i tot mannnnn ..if only he was this enthusiastic about his study exams tongue.gif) ... i figure the guitar school is trying to yank another rm2K from me sad.gif

anyway, you buying a 24 fret for your kid?

whats stopping you from checking out the Stagg 24-fretter that was previously posted?
only RM899 at harmony, and im sure he can give a 10% discount.
*
considering, yes.

i guess i wud most probably buy a known brand; easier to resell & better secondhand price.

or you can opt for an RG350, about 1.6k at bents. its a very versatile guitar for its price.

ooooo tremolo-locked strings .... troublesome tuning ... no ???

thanks.

Hmmmmm.. ok.....
Between an Ibanez S and a MH-250........

Will want to play (more like miserably failing) Dragonforce stuff, and basically using it as my second shred guitar next to my RR3.....

Which model in the Ibanez S Series please? Thanks.
