What should i look for in a new guitar?
Currently I have an Artcore Ibanez Hollow body, but I want something that is a better for metal and heavier rock. What kind of specs should I look for? Type of Wood? Type of Bridge? Type of Pickups? Tuner? lock nut or not? What do you all recommend?
For heavy rock, you’re gonna want humbuckers, but for metal, you’re gonna want single-coils, so you may want to compromise. look for something that’s got a humbucker at the bridge and two single coils at the centre and neck, that’ll give you good versatility. Ibanez makes some great guitars for metal shredding. As for wood, it’s not that big of a deal for an electric guitar. Alder brings out the highs which is good for metal, spruce or maple will get you a full range for heavy rock, but like I said, don’t worry too much about the wood.
Good luck
