We’re back and if you didn’t see my last post i’ve been looking for a good looking guitar with a locking tremolo system for cool technical playing at around $500-$800ish. After much deliberation and picking through possible candidates I have narrowed down my selection to the final 3. Here’s the list

**Guitars**🎸🤘

**Ibanez JEMJR**

Covered pickups (aesthetic preference)

Active pickups (batteries)

All 3 of these guitars look super sick, have their own cool features, and I would love to own them but i can only get 1.

I think feature wise the evh and ibanez honestly kind of out do the schecter but it doesn’t lack features either and it is very pretty

I’m looking for any opinions, takes, information, or insight yall can offer to help me make sure im making the right decision
Huge thanks to everyone who decides to help

I’ve been playing consistently for around 3 months now and i’m looking at personally buying my next guitar with my own money. I’m currently on your basic beginner squier strat playing mostly blues and want to switch it up/upgrade. So, I’m looking for any recommendations and/or information on basically the polar opposite type of guitar. I’m talking locking tremolo, dive bombs, fast licks, crazy technique stuff. I’ve looked at ibanez and evh and a couple have caught my eye but Id like to hear from people more experienced than I. My criteria are it must look good, last a while, have a locking tremolo bridge, and under $1k preferably like ~$700 give or take. Huge thank you for anyone deciding to help out

Edit: *I MADE A NEW POST* go check it out i narrowed it down to 3 choices and have considered all of your guys feedback thanks a ton!
