yaaa, a jackson is great, for metal and hard rock, an ibenez, or a ltd, all good choices

I just got an RG 1570 Ibanez which is awesome. I have seen them for under $400. Also ESP KH 203 plays nice and it has an LP body style if you are into that, also under $500.

I don't like 'em, but my opinion doesn't count. If you like it, and it inspires you, go for it.

I played a DKMG before and quiet liked it, Very nice, Dunno how that compares to the DXMG.

Get the SLSMG. It's worth the extra dough.

If not, the DKMG kicks ass, too

IMHO, Jackson makes the best low-priced guitars for hard rock and metal. And almost all of them have trems... if you like it, I'd say its a great choice.

I really haven't found a jackson I like for under a grand. The necks felt very awkward to me.

Re: hmmm a jackson?

hey guys thanks for all the input. you guys rock :headbang:

i have another question though... do the trems on the low end jacksons hold up well? what are the differences between an original floyd and a floyd licensed???

Re: hmmm a jackson?

Properly set up the JT-580 series units are fine for a while, opr even forever, depending on how much you use it.

An OFR or Schaller is MUCH better, quality- and tone-wise, but I could live with a 580 if I had to

Re: hmmm a jackson?

I think a Jackson is a great choice, just because they are made for metal! Anything goes really.

If I hadn't built my Warmoth, I would've gotten a Jackson.
