Quoted from Rdoyle1978:A friend is asking about buying a guitar for his kid - I think she’s 13 or 14. She’s into technical metalcore bands like Periphery , Animals as Leaders, etc. trying to think of what I should recommend him. I specifically told him not to buy a new guitar, but look for used from the 90s. (Of course he keeps showing me $249 shitty Guitar Center promos, “should I get this one?”)
Those bands play all boutique Guitars - but he’s looking to spend $300-$400. The kid mentioned Jacksons apparently. What recommendations should I give him?
Can't go wrong with anything Ibanez, especially if you find a mid/late 80's MIJ or MIK.
