Have you played any of the guitars you have listed? I grew up with the philosophy of "DO NOT BUY unless you HAVE PLAYED IT YOURSELF." So many times have I obsessed over a guitar and found out that the guitar didn't sound as good as I had thought. I have also learned that a lot of guitars that I had laughed at upon first sight had the sound I never thought could exist.

Also: What sort of sound are you going for? What sort of metal? Do you want a guitar for heavy riffs or amazing power solos? What kind of clean sounds do you want from this? There are so many variables to think about. My tip is to get out a notepad and make a checklist of things you want from a guitar, look up videos of all of the guitars listed and see if they match up.

Floyd Rose is a must have btw, in my opinion. But I've only just bought one recently, but I am really mad that I didn't have one from the beginning. So many people will complain about "how long it takes"/complain about the process it takes to set it up. Get over it. It's worth it. Why do you think ALL of the greatest metal guitarists use it?
