Best Sixer.

Loknik · 11-21-2009, 03:29 PM

Hello,

I'm looking for opinions on what the best six string out there is. The specs i like are a good tremolo system, 25.5" scale, neck and bridge pickup, no middle pickup, and a nice natural body finish. Any ideas? I've played Ibanez' and Jacksons, and I'm used to the feel of the Jackson neck more. Any input is appreciated.

Jackson SL2H Soloist-you can get it in a natural finish. OFR, Duncans, the thing shreds. Its a little pricey, but if you have the cash its definitely worth it.

^If you had that and sanded down the neck finish to a satin/natural (with oil of course), you'd have an insanely fast shredder with immense tone.

My only recs are Ibanez guitars that have stain finishes so..

Is the natural finish a requirement?
I know I saw a few stains/translucents on Ebay
2 Ibanez RG2120x's in Trans Green
and a RGT220H SOL (Oiled) though it could have been natural

^ This x1000000

But if you want a production guitar, I'd say PRS (Providing you don't mind a 25'' scale instead of 25.5'', though the new models may be longer).

I think the nicest natural production guitar with the specs you provided would be an Ibanez prestige.

budda · 11-21-2009, 06:22 PM

In terms of production guitars, the best one is the one with the most comfortable neck and the other specs you want.

The best playing and sounding sixer I've touched is the suhr modern:

No doubt they cost a pretty penny but my God they are gorgeous.

A lot of them are made to order but you can find a few dealers who carry them.

If you like the Jackson necks, you should try a Bernie Rico Jr with the Shred neck profile, pick any style you'd like
