im kinda newbie on guitar... only know 1 or 2 songs...

im looking a suggestion for guitar (only Guitar) that suitable playing metal... wanna learn playing guitar... haha

price range RM1000 below.... any suggestion?

Well, with that budget its best you go for an axe without a trem. Hardtail Ibanez guitars would be good. Check out the RG321MH.

that would only cost me below RM1000? cool! how bout with trem? how much will it cost? ... that guitar suit for metal genre?....

any other suggestion, i hope i can make a wide choices of guitar...?

Guitars under 1k usually have god-awful trems. So get a hard-tail or string thru option.

how much u can get with guitar + good trems? the price increase by how much?

thos hard tail/string thru can get with under 1k? what model and manufacturer u recommend?

tonezone in damansara perdana having a closedown sale

gita for metal, ibanez, LTD also very cheap
u can cramp in sum accesories, with the budget too
sale til end of nov
come asap

end of nov? whoa... i might reach there in time...hope so! SPM end 27....

some accsory under budget? cool!!

Also, what amp are you going to use?

im just a newbie... so i plan to get a good guitar...cause guitar can last... AMP im using is just a home amplifier... just for me to training... and of course multi efx..... later on i slowly change to other good stuff...

mate..sounds like Roland Microcube for me ...

as for guitar ..hmmm....i think you should just get a BC RICH Bronze warlock lah ..my take is looks is really important for you

dang...some nice guitar body.... * hey...u insulting metal band!..hahahaha.....joking.. metal not all about look... they can really shreds guitar...haha... joking only....* how bout the price for the guitar..

how much is the price for roland microcube?

pm deadeye ..

not sure about Warlock wei ..i think below 1k kua .

Ibanez or Jackson are good metal genre guitars. If you got money you can ask them order Schecter, the guitar that A7X uses. i'm still in love with the sound. But below 1000, you should be able to find one but like they say la trem prob. Sometimes fret colour come out, like my BC Rich Warlock. Thats why i hardly use.

ESP LTD. u can get it less than rm$1k but not at guitar collection at davies in singapore. ;p \m/

Woah, 1st time I hear people recommend BC Rich

IMO, I support RG321MH.

use ibanez

jackson can get 1k below ka?

with trem?

RG321MH is in my list now...

alot ppl rcomend ibanez and ESP LTD...so i will check both...

China made...can

ayyoh...china made quality reduced... life span also reduced... lol....

Also, plugging into your home amplifier might end up destroying it. Plus, you won't get any distortion sounds out of that

Better use RM650 for the guitar, and another RM350 for the Microcube amplifier.

haha...i thought about the distortion...but well..have to sacrifice awhile.... i aim for the guitar 1st...later on, the amplifier... .. 1k is for the guitar budget alone... RM 350 for amp is still manageable...

but is it really can destroy my home amp? my amp is for the big speaker bout 1m height...

it depends lor, buy guitar w/o Dist/OD for me is really bored.
But its another case if u like clean sound =)

*OD = over drive

If you want to play metal, how can you play it without distortion?
That alone doesn't make sense.

meaning anything above 1k...the trem can be trusted?

Again, it depends on the trem. The Ibanez Edge III trem is quite bad, but if you don't abuse it THAT much, it's pretty decent. Again, personal preference.

yea, just like eating bread w/o jam , butter or any taste.

nope wrong plan. here's a better plan

step1: get a good guitar. as the others, i'd recommend a fixed-bridge ibanez (good resell value)
step2: get a good budget MFX unit like the G1X
step3: use headphone for practice for a while
step4: get a good practice amp once you have the budget (15w recommended)
step5: ?????
step6: PROFIT!!!!!

+1, metal is all abt distortion man,
for me, id say, get a decent practice amp around 100 - 200 w/o fx of cos,
and then get some pretty mean metal distortion pedal to couple with it,
and there u have it instant metal setup, u wont need all those modulation and delay to play metal,
forget mfx, just my 2cent,

Metal without distortion? Closest you'll get is Black Sabbath. But they do have overdrive though.

metal w/o distortion is black sabbath?
why is that?
i think they still call it british distortion bcos iommi use laney's amp..

ok2... i get 1k guitar...and some budget for amp and multifx...

i know the distortion is important...haha.. without like slow rock lol....

what amp good for practice and for budget cost?

the lowest you can get is the microcube 10.
though the sound is pretty numb for me

i was hoping to get a metal guitar for 1k... and the budget is only for the guitar.... for the amp and multifx i can manage it...

how much is the micro cube?

microcube will cost you about rm380 if i recall correctly

RM 380 is still ok...

how bout ur suggestion for metal guitar budget 1k and below...?

i own an ibanez 321mh b4..use it through a roland microcube...can get pretty decent distortion sound out of it..best budget combo lol....

deadeye sells em at RM330

so ibanez RG321MH is good for metal genre... put micro cube than ok? how bout the ESP? how much it cost?

Don't get LTDs (there are NO ESPs that cheap!) below the 1k mark, most of them have terrible quality for the price. And why do you want a distortion pedal so much? Get the Microcube, it already has an onboard modeller for distortion which sounds decent enough. Pair the Microcube with the RG321MH and you cant go wrong. Then set aside the money you wanted to buy a distortion pedal with and save up for a better guitar+amp for the future.

i juz wanna get multi effx bcoz i wanna effect that can do light touch shredding.... hehe.. juz wanna trashing out...

and the ESP below 1k not good? ok then...

there are no ESPs that cheap.. unless its a fake?

of course...anything fake... is cheap...hahaha... ibanez is great for metal i guess...

well the microcube is a modeller amp, and has a few effects to play with. it doesn't sound good with pedals for me, so i just use the onboard distortion which is already killer for a practice amp

owh... so the micro cube already hav some effx in it? great! RM350+- for micro cube... that cool......

what efx the micro cube hav?

lets see... chorus, flanger, phaser, tremolo, delay and reverb

well good enough for me.. i guess that delay is good for playing fast light touch shreds?

haha...

how much for the cable and straps?

A Decent Cable + Strap should be around RM100, Rm50 each.....
Don't forget a tuner as well...... should set you back around RM50 as well.

cable + straps = rm 50/100.... tuner RM 50... that dang exp tuner...

that tonezone still open ka? end nov, what date/time... haha...

^^^^This

RG321MH hav active pickups ka? all RG32MH hav active pickups?


i saw most metal guitarist use active pickups... shud get with active pickups ka?

Errrr..... a set of EMG Actives already costs RM700....... That's just the pickups ALONE.
And the Ibanez RG321MH uses passive pickups.

Why are you so determined to get a guitar for metal? Can't you just buy a strat and an amp for about RM1000.
Since you will probably play other styles of instruments as well.

hi i got gibson replicas for sale, price and guitar make good guitar for advance and entry players. check it out at libertinsounds.blogspot.com

active pickups RM700 alone!! hah.. no thx!...

nvm la.. i juz get RG321MH...
