Getting a new "Toy", need some advice!

[Dominik Gräber]

My Birthday is in a little more than a month and I have about 500€ to spend for it.
Now I have to decide between one of three options I have in my mind.
Either I get myself a schecter C1 Classic. An absolutely beautiful guitar, but it’s used and has quite some scratches at its back.
Or I get a Basic guitar model (maybe a black schecter) which is missing Hardware and electronics. Then I would want to have Syns Pickups and a floyd rose.
Or I will let a very talented friend build a Tube amp for me. Which is not entirely shure I have this Option. The Problem Here is that I don’t know whether I could play it at Low Volume with much tone in my room or not.
Any thoughts or suggestions? I have to decide within the next few days…

I would get th3 classic. Maybe get the other guitar but it depends on budget for the pickups. Amp wise I wouldn’t see the point unless you are gigging

Usually tube amps work best in high volumes which isn’t really what you want in your bedroom because it will be too loud. So my choice would probably be one of those guitars.

 

[Lauren Morales]

You should get one of the guitars. My opinion would be to get the black Schecter and customize it the way that you want, if you can afford the pickups also.

thanks for your opinions so far, guys!
I see the point with the amp, although me friend said there was something like a compressor (don’t know if its called that way) that let’s you play at lower volume with more of the sound it can give. But I don’t know how much extra that would cost and if it was that helpful.
@lauren yes maybe, especially because then I’d get a tremolo system, which I don’t have right now and would actually differ from what I play at the moment. The problem I see is that I can’t find a really high quality guitar without hardware. The one I saw was good, but I’d loove to have a neck through one day.

For option 2 I have this one in my eye at the moment:

But if anyone of you knows where to get something similar with maybe even better quality, please share

I don’t know what schecter to buy, bit if you’re not a brand-fanboy – try one of the following:
– Ibanez RG370AHMZ-SWK 499€
– JACKSON Soloist SL3X MN SG 555€
– Schecter Omen Extreme 6 FR BCH 629€ (a little more, but they are pretty cool)

If you’re interested: i have an Ibanez mtm20 (mick Thomson – Slipknot) with emg 80/61 for sale.

nah thanks, but first I want to stick with an option of the above and second I already have a guitar with EMGs, I want to try out something else
