Its actually bargain basement time in the UK if you like Super Strats. Pawn Shops are full of the pointy things, i saw a purple sparkle Yamaha for Â£59 the other day which is a giveaway considering its quality. Back in the 80's you would have paid Â£400 for it.

i've got one of these, its not terribly metal, i guess. ibanez destroyer.

and i play this in my current band, but i think i'm going to replace it with one of those new MIM HH Jags when we get back from tour.

If you are going to sell the Gothic SG, let me know. I love the fucking satiny necks on those things. ALSO: Moon/Star inlay is the shit.

I wanna get something rocking at some point. Possibly with a Rose to get wanky on it. But no pointynes. Something different from what I have. I guess the Omar sig would be kinda like that.

A Gordon Smith Graf Deluxe is meant to have a neck similar to the Ibanez Wizard and I've always fancied that guitar along with a GS1 doublecut.

Actually, I think it might just be possible to play one publicly without irony and not be laughed at.

I think a lot of the early metal bands from the 70s played wood coloured metalz guitars. This one was quite metalz when I acquired it. The previous owner had it routed at the bridge for a Khaler tremolo (yuck!), which I promptly had repaired by a luthier and returned to a fixed bridge. The Dirty Fingers pickups are definitely Metalz pickups: they've got the highest output I have ever seen. They sounded loud and distorted on every amp's clean channel I ever played the guitar through.
