[Goodbarrr]

Hey Buddy, you've bin busy :o) - I want to buy a Blues Resinator Guitar, and recommends or tips?? - Cheers, Richard UK

Hey, I've been looking to buy a guitar to fit most styles, but I'm big into Metallica, Trivium, Alter Bridge and bands like that. What kind of pick-ups would be good? EMG 81, 60, or Seymour Duncan Jazz pickups? I want to play metal and hard rock, but I dont want to be limited.

How is the tuning on the ibanez mikro and can you add parts to it like a regular guitar?

Great tips.

[viperabs]

@reservoirdog77881 The mikro has trouble staying in tune, but it has standard tuners on it I'm pretty sure. I don't have it anymore.

I have a wicked mannix electric and a awsome acoustic karina

[eramir228]

Right now I have this Ibanez "Gio" Strat guitar and a Crate DPS GX-30? (I think that's which one it is) that I got at a Pawn Shop. Right now i'm looking for some kind of upgrade. Would you recommend a new guitar, amp, or what? I guess I'd be considered a beginner (Mostly play Metallica, Sabbath, Ozzy, SOAD and stuff) I seem to be fairly well and get a decent sound for what I have.

Needs to be in the 300-400 price range, maybe up to 450

Do you have any spesific overview over Ibanez and Fender guitars? Because i've seen through alot of Ibanez/gibson/Fender guitars, but i can't really make an opinion because i need a guitar that is generally good for all styles, but especially good for Rock/blues and similliar stuff. My current guitar is an ESP-LTD KH-202 and before that I played on an ESP-LTD EX-50 and they are great for Heavy metal and generally ok for other styles, but any recommendation that is spesific for Rock guitars?

[viperabs]

@Jonsk12394 You want a guitar for all styles, but you got a KH? Fender is best for blues, country, and rock styles. Super-strat style (with passive pickups) will be very versatile as well but have a different feel and don't have the same classic fender sound. If you want heavy metal, just keep your KH.

[Scary2Stroke]

any tips on how to clean satin finish? i wouldnt think you would use polish

[viperabs]

Don't use a polish because the semi-rough texture of satin won't clean the same as a clear coat. Use a simple wet rag, maybe soap and water but nothing strong.

ah i learned the try before you buy the hard way haha......but i got my dean now with EMGs haha,,,,learned my lesson,,,,rockin video by the way,,,,like the series!!

[viperabs]

There you go! I put Blackouts into the V because the pickups weren't brutal enough.

[lifedelay]
