Sorted : Cheap shreddy guitar with floyd rose type tremolo

lysander

As per title. I mostly care about the neck and having a good quality floyd rose or similar tremolo and a locking nut and / or tuners.
Not a fan of super thin & flat Ibanez necks, I prefer something with slightly more meat and not completely flat radius.
Passive pickups strongly preferred as well as rosewood or ebony or other dark woods fretboard rather than maple.

I would prefer something understated ( the least flashy and pointy the better ).
Happy to take something that needs a bit of work as long as there's no major issue.

EDIT: would need it to be posted unless it's in London, I can't travel at the moment due to young kids and long working hours.

You need to raid HarrySeven's warehouse.

Ibanez S370 in black? Thin Ibby Wizard III neck though...

lysander

@Jack_ thanks, looks nice, but yeah I'd prefer something with a neck thickness that's a couple more mm if I can find it.

Peavey V-Type EXP?

lysander

I looked that up, my eyes are still hurting

I've heard very good things about the affordable EVH Wolfgang guitars. Lovely neck profiles if they are the same as the Steath model I had a while back. Otherwise it's my standard answer of secondhand Charvel San Dimas or So Cal. One of the first issue mex ones sold for around £300 on eBay recently which is a lot of Guitar for the money

This looks nice...https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/292032639354

Cheer, it does. 
Though I'm really looking for sub £300.

Jack_

The Ibby I posted above would be sub £200.

Just a thought - I'm not sure which models you checked out online, but if you can get over the eye pain, you *may* wish to reconsider...

Korean Peavey V-Type EXP #1 (Refin with SD HB's, hard case. Small amount of paint damage adjacent to the neck pocket)




Korean Peavey V-Type EXP #2 (stock, with gigbag)




Both guitars have been set up very well indeed and play great.

The blinged-up versions of these with crazy inlays are way too OTT (IMHO) - personaly, I like these in plain black.

One to wash and one to wear - £300 the pair.

 Cheers Harry.
I'm struggling with the shape of these, if I did get one I'd have to take a jigsaw and spindle sander to it. But I will consider it

I have mostly an Ibanez RG570 from about 1993. It had a Roland hex pickup for a while, it has a 26.1" extension neck by Arrowhead guitars (ebony on maple, less wispy than the original neck), and at the moment it has a Sustainiac in the neck. Charcoal satin finish.

Without the Sustainiac (which I can happily use elsewhere) I'd be OK with £300 for it. You'd need to put in a neck pickup (it has passive Swineshead middle and bridge pickups), otherwise it plays very nicely.

I can sort out pictures...

Have a look at the old Ibanez Roadster series. Not flashy Strat with floyd.

lysander

@Sporky thx for the offer. Sounds interesting but I think I'd rather stay with a standard 25.5 scale length.

Sporky

You get 25 frets though!

I just price reduced the Kramer I have up for grabs:  http://www.thefretboard.co.uk/discussion/100298/fs-kramer-baretta-fr-404s-d-with-metallic-purple-reduced#latest

Quite like the look of that, I posted in your thread.

I've got an Ibanez rg270 with a Floyd in Mint condition that id let go reasonably cheap. Pm me if you're interested and I'll sort pictures etc

That's one more, innit?

My son might be selling his early 90s Jackson Professional soon. I'm not sure of the exact model as it's been nodded over the years for just one humbucker (Seymour Duncan). It's a cool looking guitar, refinished in a metallic turquoise, 1 humbucker, 1 volume, Jackson Floyd Rise, shredder neck etc If it sounds tempting I can send pics. Price will be sub £200 and these early 90s Japanese Professional models are awesome. They were replaced with lower spec Performer models because they were too close in quality to the USA models.
