Ahh yeah, I should of added that ^^ References being: Slipknot, Metallica, SOAD, Alter Bridge, EVH's Eruption, Mostly metal and heavy/fast rock is what you could classify as the tone im trying to get?

the squier jim root and john 5 tele's can be found on the cheap used and those guitar are budget beasts, epiphone g-400 is a good sg copy. if you want something a bit more shred oriented if say ibanez rg series or the jackson rhoads rrxt they are around 550 new but used are 250-325

also pickups are another key do you want active or passive theyll make a big differencre and will cost a bit more if you want them

Any other suggestions along with these? Love the sound of these but I wouldn't have any idea where to look to find them used :(

id check guitar centers website and reverb, with guitar center you usually have a 2 weeks or a month to send it back
