Probably the best quality i own. has a double-locking trem system which never went out of tune. Ibanez RG350DXZ
I usually order knock off Les Pauls and PRS's from a great cheap chinese direct factory site called DHgate.com and then replace the pickups. My knockoff standard white les paul with standard pickups for $300 is strangely the best natural sounding guitar i own.
Nice rig, especially the amps.
Jealous of your ability to build pedals man. I really should have paid attention in soldering/electronics class in school. I've got a couple of Tone City pedals a newer brand that has been getting good reviews online.
My Ibanez RG is still one of my most solid guitars. Really good models imo. Sturdy and solid tone.
Threw a Seymour Duncan Invader pickup in the bridge and it instantly became a beast. The bassy low end is insane. Great for chugging breakdowns.
Damn. Nice rig. Fenders are really coming back in style. A lot of younger metal bands are switching to Fenders and keeping great tone.
My favourite right now is Wage War. They've got 81/85 emgs in there but the tone is great.

Do you play old speed metal or some newer thrash? Maiden fan i'm guessing?
