That's X series, so it's fine. You might want to be careful with the Licensed Floyd as it isn't as good as the original you can find on Schecters or the Kahlers you find on B.C. Rich's. B.C. Rich is very good and worth consideration if you buy a high end one.

I really like the Wartribe. :DI also Carvin because you can customize your guitar with the specs you want and it's not that overpriced.

It be funneh.But I don't know how much a stock Carvin costs, as they do exist and Carvin makes black V220s as a production model. But it sounds amazing, and I WILL own a Carvin at some point.

yay, guitars...Malmsteem? Never heard of them, i'll have to look em up at some point.Damien? I really wanted to try the 7 string version of that, by what you just said, I REALLY want to.V's? Urgh, I hate playing v shapes, it's a shame, coz I love the way they look, but they're just too impractical for me.Gibsons? NO, they suck, there is no justification to buying a gibson over really any other guitar make in the same price range!Anyway, good timing, as it's recently been agreed between me and my parents that my Ibanez is being sent back, because the bridge was already f****ed from the moment we got it (the knife edge is patheticly weak) and replacing it with an upgraded spec bridge would be so costly that I may aswell just get a refund and buy a new guitar.So, yeah, as it turns out, I need to go guitar shopping again
lol, surprisingly enough i haven't damaged it yet, despite how frustating it's been.And my budget, I could probably stretch it to a grand. Ideally want a 7 string really.

A lot of popular metal bands use them. It kinda sucks.I just want the extra range, what's so bad about that? ;P
Hey, just bought the Ibanez RG320PG today. Sounds great and the tremolo stays in tunes surprisingly well for a non-Schaller produced trem. Bit of fretbuzz but overall it's very good and I got it for a bargain price. Looks great too.

I've already planned pickups (Seymour Duncan Invader SH-8s) , electronics, wood (Alder because it sounds great) and we're going to salvage an old neck off my Strat (with fret sanding in order to reduce buzz). However, I want a decent Trem on it for a decent price. I've been thinking the Floyd Rose Special, the official licensed trem owned by the Floyd Rose company, or a Kahler if I can find one cheap. Your thoughts?

Your thoughts?Yeah, well, as I said, good luck.You're either gonna get a decently built one, or one (like mine) that has a knife edge that dissolves when exposed to air.As for the guitar, seymour duncans + awesome, although personally I prefer dimazio's generally.Be VERY careful when sanding the frets! Even a millimeter too much and your tuning is screwed.And from what I know, a kahler IS your best option, if you can afford it, like you said ;P
