So you wouldn't recommend a Squier or Epiphone within that price range?
Nah, really there is no point in getting a beginner guitar then getting a guitar that is only slightly better; you are better off either waiting till you can get a higher range Epiphone explorer or V or replacing bits on your current guitar. Di Marzio Super Distortion humbuckers give a nice old school hard rock bark; Kurt Cobain's signature Fender wields them, so that's the sort of sound to expect. Even if you have singlecoils it comes in a variety of formats for telecasters and strats. I'd recommend those for your sounds.

Hello again! Afraid I need more advice ;D
My dad has ordered me the Vox VT40+ for Christmas, however my mum has suggested buying me a new guitar - so, what would people recommend for me around the £200-250 mark?
(To confirm, I play alt rock/metal/punk/pop-punk, and am fed up of the Strat/SG/Les Paul shape (apart from an Epiphone black Les Paul I saw... very nice.) but quite like Telecasters/Jaguars/Explorers. You know, something different.)
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm To be honest, I'd ask her to save up. There aren't too many good guitars in odd shapes around that price range. If I were you, I'd wait until I had something a little more sizable in the way of cash, then spend it on a great guitar, rather than one I wouldn't be satisfied with. Wait until next year, there are some great guitars in the £400-500 price range that I'd wait for, like the quite versatile Epiphone Jeff Waters V that can do blues to metal. If you want a good guitar now for a lower price point like the one you mentioned, try something from JTR guitars; lots of nice tele and Rhoads shapes.

This happened in Oblivion, after joining the thieves guild:

That's just strange....
*Picks up quill* *plates levitate off table* even funnier is when you shoot an essential enough times; they just fly forwards in whatever direction they were moving before you knocked them unconscious.

Never heard of that pickup. I'm going to google it tomorrow :P
Seeing how I've been slowly growing unhappy of my amp's tone possibilities, and how I'm constantly fiddling with the contour knob without finding a good balance (everything else is pretty much perfect IMO), I'm probably going to get a new amp after I get the guitar. But I can't seem to find a decent tone with any of the amps I've tried out at stores.
I've watched lots of videos and right now I'm kind of leaning towards the Lee Jackson GP-1000 preamp, which I think was discontinued (coincidently it's the very same preamp my fav player used until about 7 years ago), so am I just looking forward something near-impossible? xD
I don't know anything about poweramps though.
A Mesa Boogie Mark V with an overdrive pedal like a tube screamer rips, but that costs a lot. Other good amps are the Koch Supernova, Laney Ironheart (a lot more affordable than the other amps), ENGL Fireball (honestly an awesome amp). Good cheaper amps are the Blackstar HT-5 and the ENGL Gigmaster 30

I no longer recognise songs that contain less that 2 solos ;P
Symphony Of Destruction is gone from your mind :P
Countdown is overrated anyway ;P
Yeah. Well, not as overrated as Endgame, but sure.

First one is better as it won't be flanked as easily. Front protection is stronger too. I'd remove the DSL bar since it's just wasting weight.

Piece of polycarb off Chaos 2. Got it at a Debenams robot rumble after Dominator 2 got a nice attack with its axe which sent a piece into the crowd.
Picture?
It's buried in a draw somewhere, I'll get a pic as soon as I find it :P

In my case I rather like my guitar (boring old Ibanez RG to most of us) but would rather like a very nice pickup like the Bareknuckle Aftermath.

Tolerance?
How much output they can take.

Not a bad idea.
Di Marzio D-Activator Xs kick ass, so I'd recommend them. Boss Metal Zone Distortion is a great distortion pedal, but even better for thrash tones is the Blackstar HT Dist X. Brilliant pedal.
I looked them up, they sound good but I only have a 3-way selector and the D-activators have two combinations for each pickup (five in total).I'll only get a bridge one as I never use the neck pickup.
That's fine. One thing with high output pickups is that you may want to replace the volume controls depending on how high their tolerance level is.

TX,Im with you all the way.I always had trouble with chassis:I ballsed them up regular.It was one of my main flaws.
If you suck at chassis building, get better, don't just use other peoples work. You're technically one of the people who are least likely to deserve a free chassis, so get better so we can give you one, as at least then you've proved you can make a chassis decently.

Nary is right here, razors would work better than multis with cutting teeth.
But I'd keep the wheel guards for the rule of cool.
