Need help with purchasing a guitar

[mako_kimura]

Alright, I've played guitar for about two years, and my uncle thinks I'm ready for a better guitar. I thought about getting a lefty Ibanez, but I changed my mind and decided I want an ESP. Since I'm left-handed, the pickin's are pretty slim. The only affordable ESP I could find is an LTD KH-202. It's a Kirk Hammet model, but I'm not a Metallica fan at all. I just need some input on it. and just for reference, here's a pic:

Have you played this yet?

What about Kramer, Hamer, Epiphone, Gibson or Fender?

They all make lefthanded models.

Get out there and play as many guitars as possible before picking one...

You can't tell how you'll like a guitar without playing it...no matter how much you like the "looks" of a guitar

[mako_kimura]

Well, I mean if anybody here has played one, they could give their opinions on it. I try to listen to other people's opinons before I make my own

How 'bout a Jackson DK-2?

When I ever decide to get guitar lessons, GarageBand will be so freaking killer on the iMac I'm getting this or next month.

There are a lot of options:







It's all up to you...what do YOU want to get?!?

Here's a good question.

What do you already have ?
Also, What would you like to be different about your new guitar ?

Just for starters!

Or maybe search www.ebay.com for "lefthand" or "lefthanded"!

There are obviously options out there, but that guitar is a good guitar. To try it goes without saying. But, I like the EMG passive pickups that are in it. I think they are warm. Basically the passvie version of the active 81 and 85. Nice mid range, let's the wood tone from the guitar come out. Again, it is all subjective, and you'll ultimately have to play it and make the call, but it is a solid instrument.
