Looking for a new electric guitar
 

Can I get some suggestions on a mid level electric guitar? I'm thinking in the range of $400-$500?

have a look at the ibanezes and the washburn idol series... they would be my best recommendations....

What are your musical influences?

Definetly an Ibanez would be a good investment at that price.

Metal

^ considering that id say definitely go with an ibanez... they are great value and good quality in the mid-range price area.....

^^^^^Yeah, no contest there 3-5 hundred will getcha' a nice Ibanez.

after having a look on music123.com, i think id recommend the SZ320 if you want double humbuckers or the SA160QM if you want some more versatility with the single coils.....

Or - not to boggle your mind with model #'s - The S470 has double humbuckers- bridge & neck, and a single smack dab in the middle plus a really nice locking trem system. Musicians Friend has it for $479. Very nice guitar for the money.

I ended up getting a $300 schecter omen6 diamond series in black, works well enough for my uses
