Jackson, BC Rich, Ibanez, ESP and let's not forget Gibson. Anyone who disputes that can take it up with Zakk Wylde. Any guitar can either sound good for metal OR with a little money (new pickups, strings etc...) can be made to sound good for metal. The first 4 brands I mentioned are probably the more common names associated with metal music. Schecter should probably also be thrown in there. Truth is that no one guitar is the absolute perfect axe for anything. Much of it is personal preference just like anything else. That is not to say that if you go out and buy the cheapest guitar you can find, that it will sound as good as a high end BC Rich or a Jackson. Not even close. But as we all know, your wallet will play a big part in what you play AND let's not forget what you're plugging into. For example, I still have a lower/middle of the road Ibanez RG3. Paid $299 for it at a Guitar Center Labor Day sale. ($429 regular) Replaced the stock pickups with Seymour Duncan Blackouts. Sounds like a metal beast! Was using it with a Boss Metal Zone pedal, through a Peavey Vypyr 30 watt solid state amp no less (speaker replaced with an Eminence Patriot "Swamp Thang" however) Whole setup was well less than $1000 and sounded vicious! f you have the cash for a BC (very reasonably priced for what you're getting by the way) or my personal fav, a Jackson Soloist. Then get it. But there are many good Guitars and amps out there at lower price points.

How is the solid body guitar sound produced?
The elecric guitar has metal strings that are amplified by magnetic pick ups. These magnetic pick ups catch the vibrations of each string and go to an amplifier and send the sounds out through a loud speaker.
What are the best pick-ups for schectar 7 string guitar?
Dunlop Tortex Sharp
How does an electric guitar works?
The vibrating metal guitar string moves in a magnetic field that creates a signal that gets picked up by the wire coil inside the pick ups. As long as the guitar is plugged in, this amplifies the sound.
What parts of the guitar is made of metal?
resonator guitars usually, they've been around forever, 6 strings but they echo.. that and I can imagine early banjos.. but electric guitar wise James hetfield has an interesting les paul with crystals and metal on it as well.
What is inside of the body of a bass guitar?
Pick ups and knob components in a typical bass.
How many pick ups do you need to convert an acoustic guitar into an electric?
Just one. Get a bridge pickup.
Where are pick ups situated on guitars?
Pick ups are positioned underneath the strings on a guitar and are positioned on the body near where you would strum. They are very noticeable and are usually white or black pads with silver colored circles which pick up for each string.
Can a EMG KH20 prewired set fit on a single coil guitar?
It needs to be decided by a skilled repairman upon observing both the pick ups and the guitar.
How many pickups should an electric bass guitar have?
Most have about 2 pick ups, but it depends since obviously like any other instrument they can be modified to have more or less. Usually a standard bass has 2 pick ups (P Style and J Style pick ups are popular and most pick ups are magnetic). A 5 or 6 string bass should have longer pick ups (wider) than a 4 string (shorts pick ups on 5 or 6 string basses yeild a poorer sound in most instances)
How does a bass guitar function?
The bass guitar has two electromagnets at one end of the guitar, called Pick-Ups. These look like square metal panels with dots on them. The current from the amplifier gives the Pick-Ups a magnetic field. The vibrations of the strings affect the magnetic field and cause the current to fluctuate. This is a very simple system that converts the analogue vibrations of the strings into an analogue electrical signal. The amplifier contains a transistor which uses the weak current from the instrument to control the stronger current that powers the speaker.
Can you strum anywhere on an electric guitar?
anywhere on the strings below the nut and below where your hands are on the neck
What make the sound when a person is playing a guitar?
The strings are made of metal, so when you pluck them the vibration is picked up by things called "pick ups". Which are really just magnets that receive the vibration signals from the strings. Hope this helped :)
