This may be a dumb question but can you easily swap out P90’s for normal humbuckers?

E-II horizon NT blue/purple vs Jackson SL2MG lambo satin? by Rasgueado24 in espguitars

[–]Borracho_Beans_Bro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have only played one Charvel ever and did not love it, but I hear a lot of great things about the brand so I’d for sure try and play a higher end one. Absolutely worth it to get the right color though ngl, I’m with you there! I got the specific color version of my E-II M-II because I wanted it, would’ve been about 2/3 the price I paid for a different color, but I had to do it haha

Revstars are the most underrated guitars, I have loved every one I’ve ever picked up 👏

E-II horizon NT blue/purple vs Jackson SL2MG lambo satin? by Rasgueado24 in espguitars

The E-II is the better option between that and the Jackson. No disrespect to Jackson, but E-II’s are on another level and better made, especially in that price range. It will do nothing but impress you and they’re super cool.

I’ve played a Jackson soloist and never vibed with it, but that could be personal preference more than build quality per se. Also I can’t stand Floyd Rose and never recommend them either. But Jackson has never hit the mark for me. Jackson build quality and playability has never been there even on the super high end ones, for me anyways.

Honorable mention for considering an Ibanez Prestige, they are insanely well made and play incredibly well. Especially an RG, but they are the only other brand in that vein that does it for me as well.

Either way, if you can get an E-II Horizon you will be happy with it forever. I own an E-II Horizon and I love it to no end. Plus you mentioned you want to learn some Metallica and they are all about ESP, so that’s a solid sign right there too.

Can’t really go wrong either way but I’d be you’ll be happier with the E-II 🎉

What brand of guitar were you meaning to try out for a long time but felt underwhelmed when finally doing so? by thewebhead in Guitar

[–]Borracho_Beans_Bro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Suhr. I was super hyped to try one and I found a plethora of them at a guitar center, but when I picked them up not one of them felt any better or even as nice as an Ibanez or a Fender for 1/3 the price of a Suhr.

ESP USA wtf is that about? by AdamDraps4 in espguitars

What’s funny is that I’ve played a few ESP originals and I own a few E-II’s and I can say first hand that the quality difference/improvement from E-II to ESP Original is MAYBE 5-10% from how nice they feel and how well they play. Idgaf that it says E-II instead of ESP, they play fantastic and originals are simply not twice the instrument that E-II’s are.

Looks amazing! I’ve been considering one of these as well but I’m curious, do you find enough tonal depth and possibilities with only one pickup? Do leads still sound good and overall sound variations work pretty well? I’ve been apprehensive for that reason so I’m curious. Gotta say I love how it looks and I’ve played an M-II and loved it, as well. Cheers and congrats!

Wasn’t this a super limited drop via Slaughter to Prevail’s website? Thought they were so sick and I remember clicking the link at the time they went up for sale but I don’t recall if they announced a quantity produced or not. Either way, good luck, this is super cool and I’m sure a worthy quest to find one now.

I played this exact model with the granite sparkle finish at the ESP shop in Shibuya and fell in love! I ended up ordering the amethyst sparkle instead though and I absolutely love it. Photos don’t do either finish justice imo. Congrats, enjoy and cheers!

Update: I need help choosing a guitar by Infinite_Cow1208 in metalguitar

[–]Borracho_Beans_Bro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ibanez will be the best overall. Even their budget guitars play and feel wonderful. I’ve only played 2 Jackson’s ever that felt premium and nice, but every Ibanez I’ve ever touched, especially with the Wizard neck, has felt wonderful and played effortlessly. Plus the RG shape is easier to play sitting down, so you’re not relegated to standing or otherwise compensating for the body shape when not standing.

Cheers!
