Can Gibson '57 Classic and classic plus be used for modern metal?

I know EMG's are the standards for todays modern metal bands. I have nothing against them but I want to have a little different sound than what everyone else is playing. I've read several great reviews on these pickups however not much on if they are good for metal or not. They will be going into an Epiphone Les Paul Studio if that makes a difference and I also use a Metal Muff pedal for distortion. it should be fine if you just tune your guitar to the song tuning it also help full to have a amp to set it to metal with this should make your playing sound great if you have this most electric guitars will be good for any genre of music but you must have good pickups you can get these with a good brand guitar


What is a decent starter electric guitar from Ibanez?

The Rg50MZ is a good Ibanez started guitar and retails at about å£230 eg from dolphin music. This is suited to heavy metal. The GRG140 is about å£140 and is one of their cheapest guitars. Ibanez are considered a good quality guitar company, so even this guitar should have suitable tone and build quality for a starter guitar.


What type of electric guitar can play all genres of music?

Any guitar, electric or not, can play any genre of music. You can hear some people play the accoustic guitar in a very heavy metal fashion and classical has been played extremely well with a distorted electric guitar by famous bands like Epica, Nightscape, Magic Kingdom and Skylark, to name a few. There is a band that plays a heavy metal style and all they play is cellos (Apocalyptica), so it doesn't matter the instrument, any style can be attempted and sometimes successfully translated and conveyed.

Which is better an electric guitar or a jazz guitar?

Well, it depends on what type of genre of music you want to play. The Electric Guitar works as a well instrument in many rock genres, including Classical Rock, Hard Rock, and Metal. However, a Jazz Guitar also has some cons and pros to! A Jazz Guitar can play Blues, Jazz, Classical Rock, mostly Oldies. However, a Jazz Guitar can not be as loud as a Electric Guitar. Depending on your type of genre, I would prefer an Electric Guitar, which could play almost all genres. Enjoy playing!

Which is the better guitar semi electric or acoustic?

This is what I experienced from my friend and I and we both play guitar. She plays electric and acoustic guitar (She likes acoustic the most). I play acoustic and its easier beginning with it (you can dominate electric guitar after playing the acoustic). But I think it would be better to start out with a basic acoustic guitar. An electric guitar would be the next level, for people who can afford one, and can play an acoustic. An electric guitar is also hard to carry(They're made of metal and plastic)and aren't cheap enough to get rid of or repair. The acoustic guitar isn't only just used for country( i hate country music... but i play acoustic!)it can be used for all kinds of things that you would probably want to know. Lets face the facts, you don't usually see an electric guitar player doing a solo on their porch. Electric guitar is better with more equipment and other people playing drums, e.t.c. But it just looks cool and has more varieties of sounds (with gear). So unless you are a hard-core rocker, or just think electric's better and cooler and want to take on these problems, go with the electric.
