solio1994 Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 hey guys, i am looking for a new guitar and i have narrowed it down to 3 choices -ESP ltd ec 401vf -epiphone sg prophecy gx -ibanez s520 i play mostly rock such as ACDC or some hard rock like guns n roses and a little bit of metal. I want a guitar that is quite versatile and has a easy to play neck. please tell me what you think i should buy=p~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
midiman56 Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 SG Prophecy GX! Dirty Fingers pick-ups are all about versatility and the neck on that guitar is a work of art! Naturally, you're going to want to spend a bit more time with all three and make your decision! JIm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bangbang Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 I just bought the Prophecy and love it. The action is smooth and fast. The pickups can prrrr like a kitten or roar like a lion. I don't know anything about the other guitars you mention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maniak Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 Not familiar with the ESP or the Ibanez but i can tell you these Prophecies are a force to be reckoned with. I got Mine (A GXwith the Dirty Fingers pickups)in december and i cant keep my hands off it. The pickups scream and the neck is about the easiest player i i could imagine. But iguess the thing to do is play them all and pick ehat YOU like the best.Keep us posted.

G-400_Epiphone Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 epiphone sg prophecy gx Its the best choice i like the pure black version Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
midiman56 Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 epiphone sg prophecy gx Its the best choice i like the pure black version It should be pointed out that the "Midnight Ebony" version of the SG Prophecy is the EX and comes equipped with EMG pickups as opposed to the Dirty Fingers. Sajeal here on the forum has the GX Les Paul and seems to be very happy with it. The EMG's are great for metal and a "harder" sound if that's what you are looking for. Probably not quite as versatile as the DF's ... but they will rip your ears off! JIm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metalhed717 Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 the prophecies are great, i have the SG EX (i prefer the Emg's and the looks of it) but im sure all of the models in the line are just as good. cant go wrong with ESP's though. not sure about the ibanez though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
