I play rock/metal and would really appreciate some suggestions for some guitars to buy. i like artist's like Iron maiden, Nightwish, Hammerfall and of course Sonata Arctica. <3 i am on the lookout for a guitar that can play both nice cleans, and a pickup for distortion.

i have been on the looking on the ESP ltd-EX 401 with floyd rose tremolo, it feels pretty good. does someone own this guitar? if you do can you please give a review of it, i would really appreciate if you did. thanks :)
