Today, I got to play with my friends Fender American Stratocaster and his Jeckyl and Hyde pedal on my amp, and holy ****, it sounded soooooo amazing. I really want to get a pedal and new guitar, but I'm poor, so I have to ask for them for christmas. I was thinking about getting a Fender Standard Stratocaster for $369 and the Jeckyl and Hyde pedal for $139 off [url]www.mucisiansfriend.com[/url], but my parents didn't seem to keen on buying me them for christmas, but they said they'd think about it. I was wondering, would anyone recommend any guitars and pedals I could get for maybe a combined of under $300 that would be good for punk/metal off that website? I'm really hoping I can convince them to get my the Fender Standard Strat, but I don't think they will. I'm just so sick of my Ibanez Exseries. It has one of those annoying string locks on it that require allen wrenches to tune it, and the pickups are horrible.
Thanks guys.
Yeah, I know, but it's sorta a back up plan if I can't get the standard strat. I hate locking ones because it's so much work just to tune to drop D and whatnot. I think if anything, I may just get a nice pickup and then the pedal. Would you recommend this at all?
What kind of guitar do you have right now?
Ibanez Ex Series.
Basically, the bottom two pickups do not work, so I am forced to play with the top two pickups, which I believe are meant for jazz. It's old. It was my stepdad's guitar when he was in college, so I believe it came out in the early 90s.
I'd probably go with a better Ibanez dude. I'm a huge supporter of Ibanez guitars, and if my band gets big enough, I want to try for an endorsement. Anyway, for what you want, i'd look into an Ibanez RG or an AX. They'd be more than versitile for what you want to do.
What do you think about these ones:

Thanks
the RG is your best bet. the GRG is a piece-o-crap, and Icemans are horrible guitars :(
If you're going to get a distortion pedal, get a BOSS DS-1 or a BOSS MT-2.
Thanks.
Would you happen to know anything about this guitar?

It was recommended to me, and seems to have good reviews. Normally the cheaper guitar the reviewers talk about them breaking constantly or the pickups sucking, and the reviews I read of this guitar talk about them using it for four years, and not having problems.
Word of the wise:
If it's from Ibanez, and has a G in front of the model number, it won't be good quality.
Ok, haha.
Stick with that RG. It'll play like a dream. It's neck is awesome, and the body is nice. The pickups should sound pretty good, but Ibanez pickups aren't the best. But thats the best of the ones you looked up. Go with that :)
What, did someone ray Mirrage Red Ibanez RG1570 with air norton for neck and Tone Zone for bridge, what?
EDIT: lol ray
say*
I'm not getting the RGT42DXFM, I'm saving up tor the RG1570, well, hopefully they have mirrage red, but I'll settle for any color
Probably the greatest birthday present from the koolest chic I will ever know.

Tape deck adapter -> to stereo. Enough said.
and whats with you drummers always having to play guitar, anyway :P
lmfao, I wouldn't wish behringer gear on anyone. I'm sorry you got that piece-o-crap :(
