Getting a new guitar! Thoughts?

[Coldwater]

Well for the past two months I have been sort of saving my money for a new guitar. I think I am going to go with a BC Rich I like the Beast model by them. Also I a going to buy the Death Metal pedal. Anyone who plays guitar out there have any thoughts or words for me? Thanks. Maybe a bigger amp would be cool to...

BC rich has some good guitars but there not really my style. Beast is just a shape you still need to decide on a guitar. There good well made though. If you want a wicked amp look for tube amps there are the best. at least i think so but there expensive.

for an amp, get whatever you can afford. unless you're planning on doing a lot of live shows, most amps will do what you want. Just stay away from fender amps, they kinda stink.

if you're a bedroom player(like me), a guitar simulator might be up your alley. I use a V-AMP2 and just hook it through my computer speakers (wharfedale desktop speakers). I've got a 400w 8 channel yorkville mixer for when I want it to get screaming loud.

I play a fender strat and it does what I need to.

I've played on a few guitars over the years and my favourite was a Yamaha. Can't remember the model but it was a Les Paul shape but with a cut out on the top as well as bottom. It just had beautiful action.

It sounds like you are into the metal bands. If so i would look at ESP as well some of there models are just built for that. I have an ESP and its wicked for the hardcore stuff.

I dunno about that..I sent back a $2100 ibanez because nobody in town could get it setup to play as nicely as my $300 fender. :confused: too bad, it was a gorgeous guitar.

Roland Cube amp is a sweet sounding, small amp... i had one and loved it. I had a Santana SE guitar, sweet guitar for under $1000.
