What is a good guitar for heavy metal with a price range of £0-£500?
I need a good guitar for heavy metal music in the price range of £0-£500 that would be good for playing music such as black sabbath iron maiden metalica megadeth motohead and stuff
Any Charvel/Jackson electric guitar is excellent for that type of music.
A Fender Strat is also a decent chocie.
My advice is to worry less about what guitar you use, and figuring out exactly what sound you want. My friend in a metal band has never paid more than $600US for a brand new electric guitar, but always tunes down a step or a step and a half and uses very heavy strings to get a heavier, crunchier sound. By tuning down so much, he can put on the heavier guage strings and play them easier.
