SORTED: Heavy metal hardtail guitar

imalrightjack

Twin humbuckers preferred. Charvel San Dimas would be perfect. 

No floating or Floyd tremolos need apply. 

Based in Cumbria. 

What have you got?

@donbot - more info?

Good shout on the PRS, @andy1839 - looks impressive. £575 is within budget but I'm not willing to go up to £700 really.

@hubobulous - likewise, more info?

How heavy metal are we talking? I have an Ibanez SC420 in Amber Pearl that I've been considering selling for a while now (only because I have the exact same model also in blue):

Made in Japan, and in great condition. Perhaps not metal looking enough though.

Can obviously send over pics of my guitar if you're interested.

I'm not fussed. I want it play fast. Hard tail. I'd rather not have something stupid looking.

Sorry to those who I've been in touch with, @Elwood has sorted me out. 

Hats off to @FelineGuitars for being super-helpful and accommodating.

Ibanez FR420 is completely stock. Not as pretty as some of these others but cheaper, really solid, Ibz CCR pickups in bridge and neck. Wide flat wizard III neck. I have it in open C tuning and it sounds so evil. In fact I don't think i could part with it now i think about it. Highly recommend you check one out though. For the price they're amazing. 
Here's the blurb http://ibanez.wikia.com/wiki/FR420 Feel free to make an offer but it's way under your budget!
