Well if it was a good all tube fender mabye that would suit better as you would have an excellent clean sound then if you saved up you could buy a good overdrive, so as you could at least live on the fenders overdrive till you got a good OD..Depends what fender..ANd are you planning on Gigging because if you are you would need at least 50 watts if its a solid state..

Don't worry the Fender is really loud it is a Fender Princeton 65w and it is a monster in the shop it plays really loudly for its size. And if I get the Fender I will get a Tubescreamer or the BOSS MT2. So what should I do?

Re: I just came back from the guitar shop...

+1 for tubescreamer.
the princetons are quite nice for SS amps. and they get freakin loud too =)

Re: I just came back from the guitar shop...

I think the Tubescreamer fender route may be best..

Re: I just came back from the guitar shop...

Look at this GREAT deal: Remember the Jackson USA KE1's (Marty Friedman Signature) that Jackson stopped making? Well my teacher has a friend that can get me one of those w/ a set neck, Seymour Duncans, an original floyd, 24 frets, etc! Its perfect for my type of music!! Heavy metal and alot of shred! A Jackson USA! The only catch is that it is used but still in great condiion. My guitar teacher is probablly going to bring the guitar in for the lesson and let me play the guitar to see if I like it. So its either that or I can get a Jackson RR10/3/5 for more money then the better Jackson USA Kelly 1. So I'm pretty sure I will get the Kelly even though I like the looks of the RR a little more. So rate it please and do you think that it is a good deal? Thanks for reading. Oh ya! It only costs around 3000/3100 shekalim which is only 720-750USD!

Re: I just came back from the guitar shop...

well you could probably sit down with the kelly a little easier..

used is the way to go imo if its in good condition, you save a load of $$£$£££$$ for the same instrument..

You were comparing an Epiphone LP to a Gibson LP?

I would try the real thing before you decide.

Good luck on your quest.

Re: I just came back from the guitar shop...

What do you mean same instrument? Kelly1 and RX10? Totally different. And please rate the KE1. Oh ya, what should I do keep the Seymour Duncans (I think JB TB4 and SMH whatever it is called), or put in EMG 81/89's?

Re: I just came back from the guitar shop...

lol... i meant a new and second hand of the same type.

im guessing the USA one will be the better guitar.. it certainly has a better floyd than that RX10.

I havent played either so i wont comment.

Yes like they say, If it ain't broke , don't fix it..And as nunitus said for the money id much rather a Good conditoin used than sparkly clean New..Because you're just gonna end up damaging it anyway..I would guarentee you that the USA kelly would kick the Crap out of any Korean made guitar (thats wheres its made right?)

Re: I just came back from the guitar shop...

Yeah lol but this is kind of off topic but you know the Kisekae site where you build right? Well can anyone link me to a page with the Kellys? I saw someone make a Kisekae Kelly it was cool. I want to check out some finishes on the Kelly to see how it is.
