Hm...need some advise and opinion here from Otai² i-bands..i'm a beginner guitarist who want 2 buy the first Electric Guitar for myself end of this year. Currently using my Bro guitar fender copy ( Craftman ). i'm a cromok, Megadeth and Maiden Lovers. Of course nak gitar yg sound metal. Budget around 2K only. Brand yg dlm kepala, Jackson n Ibanez. So need opinion from otai² here gitar ape yg boleh aku beli dlm budget 2K ni..nak beli yg mahal2 pun tak guna sbab main ntah cam hape..kt bawah ni aku listkan antara selera aku ntuk gitar idaman..hehehe..
1.) Budget - around 2K
3.) prefered brand - Jackson, Ibanez - any suggesstion is welcome.
4.) Sound - Metal sound but not 2 heavy. Also love to play any kind of music.
5.)Shape n color - doesn't matter. Preffer Dark one.
So, harap2 otai² boleh bagi cadangan pasal gitar idaman aku ni..Also kalo bleh bgtau kt mane bleh dptkan gitar tu. I'm in Ampang currently. So, mane2 area KL no prob la...Thank you in advance...Adios!

Ibanez RG ni common sangat.. semua org pakai Ibanez, so tak rare / unik la.. hehe.. Jackson ok lagi, tak popular sgt mcm Ibanez, so aku suggest Jackson.. kalau boleh dpt Charvel dgn fingerboard rosewood lagi bagus!
perlu diingat: kalau ko dah biasa main strat, susah skit nak main gitar lain, pasal neck feel dia lain.. but since you're a beginner, tak kisah la.. start main gitar2 lain pulak, dapatkan feel dia.. then decide gitar apa nak beli..
pasal sound tu, tak kisah.. pakai gitar apa pon, boleh dpt sound heavy / metal dgn syarat kena tukar pickup la..

kalo beginner n masih nak main range of music.. beli je squire strat affinity series sbb:
1 - setuju ngan deadzid, main strat rasa kekok nnt main gitar lain TP advantages of strat.. bina kekuatan jari!! sbb dier punya fretboad gemok..
2 - single coil - haa.. x menipu, nak kena grip betul2, pick betul2.. baru kluar bunyik dier.. extra effort will give u extra benefit
3 - versatility - ko nak main maiden kan? mainden pakai strat je beb.. hehe.. sbnarnya strat boleh digunakan untuk lotsa range music, blues? metal? punk? sume pun jalan..
tp nampak dr keperluan ko, ko dah decide it will be either jackson or ibanez heh!
i'm suspecting u like pointed guitar - head, bodyshape.. 
but it's ok.. u can get a decent ibanez gio for about 800++..
jackson, x tau.. 
good luck!

metal? - kena pakai humbuckers ni....single coil doesnt fit unless ko ada hot rails (betui ka theory aku ni?)
good news for you. kat Bentley aku tgk last weekend ada melambak stok2 baru Jackson...flying v lah dan macam2 bentuk...sume price range from rm1600 to rm2500...and mostly all in dark colours made in japan...with FR ada, fixed bridge ada, take your pick. Yg price > RM2000 tu sume pickup Seymour Duncan kalau tak silap (not duncan designed or PU stock)...so memang best Jackson2 tu sume.
so aku suggest lu pergi sana cepat2...
memang aku teruja tgk but they look too metal for my age...hehe...
tapi kalau nak jadi masyarakat common malaysia, lu tangkap ibanez RG je lah....price range dalam RM1600 above je...aku pun ada 2 bijik.

Cromok dan Maiden guna stratocaster kan..? untuk 2K punya bajet tu, ko boleh dpt gitar berkualiti terbaik dari Cort brand. Jgn pandang remeh pada brand Cort ni sebab dgn 2k tu ko mmg betul2 bayar pada kualitinya dan bukan pada brand semata2.. pergi la test drive kat bentley..ada byk model.

maybe right n maybe not..
beza single n humbucker in adalah dr segi output.. kalo input dah kuat, strumming bagus, palm mute cemerlang.. it doesnt matter if ko pakai telecaster pun, resonator pun xper.. ehehe..
yeah! cort.. a great guitar.. beli nz1 tuh!!

tapi tone single coil takde ummpphh utk metal sound.. bunyi tali tu ketara sgt! bg aku sound single coil ni sedap utk clean sound (time plucking, nak dpt sound acoustic, etc).. utk hard n heavy distortion metal sound, definitely go for humbucker!
so kalau nak pakai strat, aku suggest beli fat strat.. humbucker (bridge) + single-coils (neck + middle).. tak pon beli strat biasa, n replace the bridge pickup dgn Seymour Duncan Hot Rails!
dah usya brand murah lain mcm Aria? dia punya model pon lawa2 gak!

itu la pasal.. tapi sayang nye, kedai music sebelah ofis aku ni tak bawak masuk model tu.. here's why..
aria ni made in china.. ada 2 or more kilang yg produce specific models.. for example: model MAC-30 & MAC-40 dibuat kat kilang A, dan model mcm MAC-35 buat kat kilang B.. so kedai yg aku pegi ni dia ambik stock dr distributor yg ambik dari kilang A sahaja.. so susah (dan kos tinggi) la utk import model yg dibuat dr kilang B..
so tadi aku gi test model MAC 30 dan MAC 40.
MAC 30
kat kedai tu ada 4 kaler, kuning, hijau, putih & hitam.. gitar ni harga dlm RM699 (before 10% discount). murah la kot.. bolt-on, 24 frets, non-locking trem bridge.. aku test fretboard dia agak melengkung skit (ala2 strat) tapi neck dia tebal skit, almost like les paul, tapi lain skit feel dia.. humbucker bridge + 2 single coils.. 5-way switch + 1 toggle switch utk apa ntah.. split humbucker tu kot? single-coil dia agak noisy even bila kita tekap dgn tangan.. other than that, seronok utk dimainkan..
MAC 40
gitar ni harga dlm RM899 (before 10% discount). specs sama macam MAC 30 except that this one ada locking bridge (under license FR). fretboard dia agak flat compare to MAC 30 (maybe sbb dia pakai locking nut kot?).. feel dia ada la ala2 ibanez / bc rich kot? ntah la, susah nak explain.. korang kena gi try sendiri..
model lain ada Aria XL-Deluxe.. range around RM899 jugak.. hmm kalau nak yg lefty MAC 35 kena order sendiri le nampaknya..
