Re: Good death metal guitars?
i own a 7 string BC Rich, and i have to agree, way over hyped... But yes, 7 strings are good if you like low end stuff, but if you want to get into higher, technical stuff, you need rather large hands to get round the width of the neck, so its really your preference
Good makes for death metal i would have to say are definitely Ibanez, ESP or DBZ. Dbz darksides are good, though their a little towards the expensive end of the spectrum, same with Ibanez really.
Personally, i would go with an ESP steph' carpenter sig'. Simply because their simple, fairly cheap and sound fucking insane. (Also, they look pretty bad-ass)
