[@swingonthespiral]

Idk, my local guitar center is filled with budget crap like this. There are a few hidden gems but a lot of it isnt worth getting. I like the epiphone SGs and squier affinities but for these shreddy guitars I'd rather shell out a bit more cash. If you dont mind the shape and feel, a used schecter omen or some of their other cheaper guitars are very well fretted and solid sounding guitars. I'm not a huge fan of the aesthetic and overall feel though, they are just definitely QC'd.

[@colonelangus3826]

swingonthespiral I found a used MIM Jackson Pro Dinky Hardtail at my local guitar center for $375. That’s what I would recommend but I just like that someone is reviewing these other budget guitars. A lot of them are garbage but they have come a long way even since I started playing 15 years ago.

In my experience Jackson excels at this price point. The expensive Jacksons are very average to my taste (which is not bad, it is just what you expect from a guitar at that pricepoint). But below 300 quid, no one touches them in sound and playability, especially in the shred category. Ibanez to me is the other way around: great more expensive guitars, shite at the under 300 range

I have a LTD FM 300 with a terribly twisted neck and had a stripped out locking nut and cant get the right replacement nut. The input jack is bad and my 1st string is 1/16" below the B string from 9th to 12th frets. My 6th string is 3/16" above the rosewood at the 1st fret makes it nearly impossible for me to play at 1st n 2nd frets. Due to nut and neck twist being so bad. I cant solo on it because i get playing 100mph and forget my strings are dead from frets 9-17 on my 1st string. There is no way to shred this LTD FM 300 ESP series. Its a neck through body so im SOL on replacement neck. However i have figured out how to do most whammy bar tricks WITHOUT ONE. You can use bends at 1-3 strings at once and Hammer ons and SETTINGS/PEDALS. Im fixing to buy me a brand new guitar. Its very difficult to practice on an instrument thats not playing right and wont take a set up my neck is twisted plus its cupped inward and forward bowed at the 12th fret. Adjusting the Truss rod makes it worse. I have had numerous professionals look at it and it would cost me like 1/4 to 1/2 of the repair cost to buy a brand new intermediate shred guitar. The neck twist is so horrible you can look at it and see the twist. I have NEVER exposed it to EXTREME temps or moisture. Back in 2017 they willfully sold me a defective guitar.

@@RollerCoasterFenatic Cool, I got mine 2010 F-50 for 100$US, which is a good price considering the guitar and I are in Hawaii (wherein everything are ridiculously overpriced). I've swapped the pups for a set of DiMarzios. A Super Distortion S in the neck and a X2N in the bridge. Altho I noticed the F-50 used by Rob was a standard dual humbuckers whilst the one I have has a single coil sized dual rail pup in the neck while the bridge has a full sized humbucker in the bridge (a VERY unusual combo, the only other guitar I have that sports a similar setup is my 1989 Ibanez RG565R-CA, a VERY rare spot model). I'm seriously thinking of swapping out the pups for a set of Seymour Duncans. Specifically a Cool Rail in the neck and a El Diablo in the bridge. Should give me a bit more versatility with a bluesy '59-style pup in dual rail single coil size and a dual rail humbucker bridge for hot gainy leads. My current setup is a bit TOO gainy in that is still too hot even when the volume is rolled back.
