you're amazing!!

Is this guitar good for metal?

I'm a beginner and I've looked a lot but I like this guitar a lot.

what do you say? :)

[nbwhy]

@arbber11 THX!!!!! Many have asked me about that guitar. It's very reasonable, in view of that I'd say: finish, setup and dynamic is good, hardware is okay. Pickups not very powerful, very neutral - but clear(no mud). For metal you would have to push sound & overdrive by your amp a lot. Tremolo I can't say as I don't use it, I always fix them. I bought it for my stays in the US as I don't carry my real babies on a normal flight. Can't give you a metal sound sample as I'm not in the US right now.

Hey dude does the guitar come with the tremolo bar? thanks rock on :)

[nbwhy]

@RockerZeca97 Mine came with tremolo bar and I've never heard that a guitar with tremolo-system comes without it? Take care & keep rockin'!

[gruponitro]

would you recomend the harley benton guitar and is it aaa stock?? great vid

[nbwhy]

@gruponitro Short review: Finish, setup, dynamic, playability good(neck should be 1-2mm thinner for my taste). Hardware pleasable(Tremolo I can't say, I always fix them with a metal plate, but when I got it I tested it and it went out of tune if you use it wild). Pickups sufficient (not very powerful, bridge and neck sound nearly the same). Big minus: Hard edge (not rounded) where you rests your right arm on the body. I'm happy with it for travels, but I wouldn't use it for studio work.

[arbber11]

@nbwhy anyway thanks for telling me how it works :)

[nbwhy]

@gruponitro THX!! Hi Joshua, that depends on your needs - for what you wanna use it? Based on the price it's pretty cool. I only bought it for my travels to the US. I take the neck off and it goes into my checked baggage. With most airlines it's a hassle to travel with instruments and I don't wanna risk to destroy my Hohner or Jackson if they deny to take it into the cabin. AAA I can't make a statement as most use their own classifications and I'm really lost on that. Available as B-stock too.

@the1tobzster I'm just happy with it. The recording quality directly to computer via USB is great and works fine for my taste(24-bit/44.1 kHz). Preset sounds are awesome (classic, modern, clean + good amp models). Usability is just great what I love as I like to play and not to study. Many free sound-libraries out there from famous players. Till now I only used the presets. It fits perfect in bagagge for traveling and in good boss-tradition metal chassis!!! That's why I bought it. take care!

[the1tobzster]

This is awesome my friend! Would you say that the boss me-25 has a good quality recording? I am really thinking of buying it for that to do covers and stuff :) Thanks for any help.
