What guitar do you want? I want a Gibson Les Paul or a Fender Stratocaster.

Someday, my love.

Oh, and at some point I'd like to get a Fender Jazz Bass.

The only Eclipse models that featured 24 frets are the ones in the ESP graphic series, and the LTD models EC-1000 and EC-500. I can't find any regular ESP guitars with 24 frets but I'm sure there are, it would be weird otherwise.

I'm thinking about getting something like an Epiphone Les Paul Standard, but they only have 22 frets, and I'm concerned the pick-ups aren't good. I mean, Alnico Classic pick-ups, what is that? Can they compare with some of the best EMG pick-ups?

The thing is, the EC-500 comes in three colors only, and I don't particularly fancy either, and it's a very heavy guitar... sigh...

LP style guitars tend to be on the heavier side. If you want to get a 24 fret guitar, why not get one in the 25 1/2" scale? They're more common, and they come in bodies that are usually lighter. I personally don't need 24 frets, the bottom 2 frets hardly get used, and if you need to you could always bend the notes.

EMGs are great pickups, they're usually associated with metal type music. If you do get a guitar with generic pickups, you always have the option of installing new ones. I think you can get an EMG set brand new off ebay for around 200USD.

The only reason want a 24 fret guitar is because it's harder to bend the 22nd fret on a 22 fret guitar. I mean like, extremely hard to me. So while 24 frets isn't a must, it helps in that area. And a 24 3/4" scale guitar with 24 frets means lesser interval between frets, am I right? This helps me too because both my hands and my fingers are kind of small and a slight decrease in length could help me out, too.

I was thinking about that yesterday; I just buy my EMG 60 and EMG 81 pck-ups and install them on my other guitar but that costs quite a bit, too, so I'd have to try to find a cheaper guitar with good body (the heavier the wood, the better; ebony and mahogany are nice choices). Preferably with a Set-Neck, and it has to look good, and still be able to compensate if the neck hasn't got 24 frets or something.

There's plenty to think about, and while I have much more freedom in one way if I decide to install the EMG pick-ups, it's also the fact that I love the Eclipse model... :/

But, I'm still looking around. Hopefully I'll find something nice!

Les Pauls = Overrated and Heavy

Strats = Overrated and single coil

I would get a Line6 Variax 300 guitar.

It's an electric/classical guitar, I picked one up in guitar center, it played great.

Les Pauls are a tad bit overrated, agreed, but heavy comes with fine wood and their models just insisting on being thick like that. But they're great guitars. And you can't argue against Fenders, Iron Maiden's using them and they're making some sweet heavy metal with them. And don't compare them to a semi-acoustic guitar ;)

But yeah, not into Gibson stuff, way too heavy. I prefer ESP/LTD, they offer cooler stuff.

EDIT: Forget ESP for now. Gonna go with Jackson guitars. Probably gonna buy a DK2 Dinky now and when touring starts, I'll buy an RR3 Rhoads, too.

Ibanez ARX320 (link)

They used to have a blue-green color, but the red is pretty nice too.

If I was to be reasonable, I'd go with the Taylor 310C Dreadnought Cut-away.

If I was to go overboard, I'd go with Taylor's Taylor Doyle Dyke's Edition Accoustic.

I'm not exactly in the financial situation to be shopping for my dream guitar, but when I saw the Epiphone Wilshire reissue, I had to have it. I still don't have the money for it, but I'm definitely picking it up soon.
