So I'm kinda down to 3 possible guitars that I'd like for my next guitar, these are kinda aimed in the direction my music is going (humbuckers, man!). My Strat is awesome, but not the sound I'm looking for in some cases, and my Ibanez has active pups, good for Rammstein, not for ZZ Top...
I am open to other recommendations, BUT I need to be realistic. All the above are in my budget, and I'm, mainly torn between the Tokai (Damn it looks good!) and the Vintage Paradise (Damn that sounds good!).
So far these decisions are based on reviews and sound clips of the guitars, I'll be sitting down to play them tomorrow and see what I think. Just wondering if people have any experience with these?
BTW, I'm not keen on Epiphone, I've come across a few too many with QC issues. Also, while I've heard good things about Carparelli, they just aren't LP-ish enough for me :P
(old forum) Poll Results: Which of these would you recommend?
- Tokai ALS48: 4
- Vintage V100: 3
- Vintage V100AFD Paradise: 6
- Save up, make do with something that is not a Les Paul for another year of your life, and buy something better later on: 15
- Cheesecake: 6
