Hey guys!
I have been playing guitars for about 12-13 years but I'm not that good as I should be anyway: can't still manage tapping properly for instance, but I'm thinking about getting a new axe.
I had a special Stratocaster edition years ago and I hated it (it was called Fender Fat Strat Deluxe W/ Floyd Rose)
I've been listening to a lot of Buckethead stuff and I'd like to have something close to it.
On the new axe I'm thinking of, I'd need a killswitch, a full tremolo and a very good action.
What would you guys suggest?
I'm pretty sure I'd need someone to build the killswitch later on because as far as I know only the signature Buckethead comes with the killswitch(es).
Thank you in advance and sorry because my english is still rusty XD.

 

Esp has some good single cutaway shaped guitars. Having a price range would help too. 

http://www.zzounds.com/item--ESPEC1000FR?siid=69140 this looks interesting. 

Does it have to be a les paul shaped guitar?

Not sure yet about the range price, I'd say up to 700 USD.
Nope, it doesn't have to be a Les Paul shaped, just a guitar with a good action, a full Whammy and I'll add a killswitch later on.

I'm afraid that Esp would be better for metal only perhaps?
I took a look on that Esp, it has a Floyd Rose bridge, I'd prefere a regular since I don't like Floyd Rose bridges since my last experience. =)

hmmm I would check on mid range ibanez guitars, 350dx and 450dx are both good versatile guitars. The trems seem to be hit and miss, I have an Ibanez JS 140 and the trem is decent on it and its very versatile. HSH or HH with coil tap is what I would recommend you look for. Sorry for late reply, best of luck to finding something. 

You can buy an Ibanez,ESP or Jackson with 24 frets and with a Floyd Rose.

If you are after tapping, etc.

Try a few guitars with P90's

Which seem to pick up the slightest finger movements

Alternatively have a look at the Chapman range

P90s don't sound too well with high gain stuff, for that budget range, I might suggest a PRS SE 24.

I have quite a bunch of guitars right now and the lowest (and best) action is no doubt the

 

 

PRS 24 SE Mike Akerfeldt (Opeth) - extremely great guitar with a nice price too.

Also have a look at the Michael Kelly's

@@Rodman I think i just came. Opeth being my favourite band AND PRS My favourite guitar manufacturers, i am getting that soon

P90s don't sound too well with high gain stuff, for that budget range, I might suggest a PRS SE 24.

really wide, thin'ish neck though at the lower end (in EU at least, I think states has multiple choices on the neck))

other than that they are a steal

and definetly a shredders guitar
