Ibanez RG520 and up... the same with the S serie...
higer pirzed Jackson and ESP... and there are some
newer guitarlabels coming out with some good shred-
guitars..
and ofcourse,
Hurricane.. if u find them... hehe..

well.. first of all.. u have to find some strings u like,
the thickness ain't that important... u can always get
a custom stringset.. still.. i recomend 9s and 10s...
if u got a too heavy stringset.. they may be alittle
hard and u'll 'burn' your fingers if u're not used to them,
but this can also be a problem on the light side.. that u can cut them... but this is only a temp. problem....

when u chose guitar... u should chose a neck that fits u..
some says that and that label got the fastest necks..
but it may not be the best and fastest neck for u...
it takes a while getting used to another neck..
like me.. going over from a SG neck to a Ibanez Custom neck.
i'm not 100% compfortable with it now... and i have played
on it for like 6-7 months...

ahh.. i'm just babling... if u got questions... mail me..
