Hello there, I'm new here.
I wanna ask the opinions of all the guitar gurus here on i-bands 
I'm looking for a new guitar:
- Les Paul shape (doesn't have to be exactly the same)
- budget is RM650 +/- (prefer below RM700 but if the guitar is that good i can go up to about RM750)
- I'm interested mostly in blues rock, hard rock, and sometimes metal. (Cream, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Guns N' Roses, Gary Moore, Eric Clapton, Metallica, Megadeth etc.)
So right now what I've found is:
- AXL Badwater 1216 http://www.axlguitars.com/al820.html
- Cort Z42 http://www.cortguitars.com/_webapp_3832439/Z42
Any one got experience with any of these guitars? Or anyone have any suggestions on other guitars? |

lebih kurang je...tak banyak beza pun... maybe cort la ok dari segi neck feel... itu pun aku tak sure, penah test 2 2..tapi rasa cam takda apa yg special sgt kat 2 2 guitar nih...rasa lebih kurang je. Character tak banyak jauh dari basic guitar.. cuma cosmetic berbeza.
How about SX? aku rasa pun 2 2 guitar yg di sebut tak banyak beza dari SX...for me kalau betul nak budget...better angkat SX, pastuh duit baki mod tukar pups ke, parts ke...mcm tukar bridge set, atau head machine. Kalau rajin tukar cap dan pot sekali. which its more worthy..
tapi dari segi long term investment...mungkin Cort is better, as kalau nak jual balik pun maybe still ada harga sbb kat malaysia nih Cort nih belum lagi masuk season guitar buat macam tisu lap muka...beli, rosak, buat tatau, jual murah, lantak kau la guitar nak jadi apa.
AXL nih most aku tgk guitar cam guitar gimmick je..tatau la ..takde feel...itu aku nye personal opinion larh..tatau la org lain...aku nih pun bukan GEMPAK sgt main guitar, takat bagi komment camnih boleh la.
apa pun ikut cita rasa dalam diri...test dulu 2 2...mana rasa best angkat...sbb nak dengar cakap orang pun...orang bukan nya betul...cita rasa memasing lelain..
apa pun...kalau aku? aku simpan duit lagi atau cari Les Paul Epiphone yg 2nd hand 3rd hand 4th hand Korea punya lagi berbaloi...its all about characteristic sesebuah guitar.

Cort or Axl?
Aku cuma bleh bg komen ttg Cort sbb aku pengguna Cort X5..
Bg aku, mmg btol neck gitar Cort ni mcm Ibanez..
Dan aku amat gembira memilikinya kerana bg aku, body dia mmg sdp..
(Means dr segi sound la.. Sbb body dia ade tone..)
Knp aku pilih Cort?
Sebab, aku xde duit byk2 nak beli gitar mahal2 ni..
Aku nak beli Ibanez RG Prestige, duit xde.. So, aku angkat Cort X5..
RM670 je pun..
Aku nak beli Fender Strat MIM, pun duit xde.. So, aku angkat Squier Bullet Strat..
RM550 je pun..
Lps tu aku tambah duit sikit..
Aku angkat pickup..
Tesla Plasma-RS1 (RM300/set) utk Squier..
Tesla AH-1 (RM260/set) utk Cort..
Lps tu kasi setting sendiri.. Sdp yg amat rasenye, braderrrr...~
Tp, sblm beli gitar murah ni, ko cek dulu btol2 bro..
Sbb sstgh gitar murah, ade diantaranya yg bgs dr segi kualiti kayunya..
Tu pun klu ko mmg seorg yg prihatin n teliti dlm memilih gitar..
Da dpt gitar murah tu, ko setting baik2.. Setting kaw2..
Setting bg dpt masuk dgn setting tgn ko utk main dgn hebat..
Bila tgn & jari jemari ko meramas2 neck dia time bermain, ko rase stim..
Dan beliau juga akn mengeluarkan bunyi stim..
Aku percaya, bila da jd mcm tu, ko xkan berenti main dlm masa 6 jam..
Ok.. Tu saje yg aku dpt smpikan utk hari ini..
Oh! Jgn lupa tgk signature aku..

Aku kalau boleh mmg nk try kt kedai guitar. Tp aku tga study kt pahang ni haha so susah skit la.
So aku sje tye2 opinion forumers dlu.
And thanks for all the replies so far btw! 
Aku ada consider SX gak and Craftsman. Harga SX ngn Craftsman lebih kurang je kn.
So between the AXl and Cort, in terms of specs:
AXL advantage:
1. EMG designed pickups (but then I intend to switch the pups in the future)
2. Set Neck instead of Bolt-on like the Cort
3. Unique finish i guess
Cort advantage:
1. Coil Tap
2. Nice finish too
So, you think the set neck will affect the sound of the guitar that much?
I heard people say with set neck you get better sustain.
And If I want to change the pickups on the Cort, do I have to look for pickups that have the coil tap function? Or will any humbucker do? |

advantage set neck: more sustain..
disadvantage set neck: klu crack, bye2..

sustain panjang2 ko 'appreciate' tak sustain tu?
sebab ada gitaris yang main selalu banyak part sustain tain tain tain~~ 2 hari. tapi ada yang tak pernah nak menyatin pun. main distort jeng jeng jeng pendek2 je.
coil tap depend pada switching, bukan jenis spesifik humbucker..kot
