Schecter Tempest Extreme & PRS SE Standard are my humbuckered (is that a word?) guitars. The Schecter has a retro fitted Bigsby whammy bar, the PRS has a whammy and coil taps as standard (best of both worlds). What's your budget?

[edit] I see you bought a telecaster. Looks gorgeous.

I recently watched a video on a FGN guitar after hearing it in this video and became curious about it. I like this dude's videos, he tells it like it is. It's not a budget guitar in my books. more like mid-priced. I'd rather upgrade a cheaper Yamaha or Ibanez to similar specs.

Thanks i didn't think i can handle myself and I was nervous too cuz wasn't what i expect,but any problem is an opportunity to learn something new,double action truss rod is dope feature,when a man need it.
Pickups are hot ,5 way switch selector gives you a lot of opportunity to choose type of sound.
I take this model exactly because of it,some guys are like Satriani play Ibanez i want his guitar or something i just have tight budget and this was most versatile one for the price.
Despite i play since high scool(which was like 25 years ago:):):)i feel like newbie again ,passion is the same

Cheers

The LTD 400's and 1000's from 15 years ago were excellent. I can't speak about current productions. Is the 1000 still made in Korea? Even if it is, a lot of Korean instruments are now mostly being made in China so it might not be as good as Korean instruments from 10 years ago. That's pure speculation. Anyway, my recommendation would be to find a used one from around 2005-2012, hopefully with a maple top.

Also, in Europe you can get the FGN Les Pauls. Get one of those. We can't buy them here. I would choose one of those over most real Gibsons.

Most middle guitars these days are Indonesia and chine i guess.
Didn't know about FGN brand,sounds interesting from what i watch.
Used in a good condition is a good idea

Cheers
