Low end electric guitars for metal music
Here you will find a huge selection of instruments that are popular with professional metal musicians. Metal artists are particularly in demand for modern electric guitar shapes that can impress with a harder sound and faster playability. You rarely see Vintage models because they usually have a softer sound than modern instruments. You should also think about whether you prefer the clear, cutting sound of active pickups or the rounder, slightly warmer sound of passive pickups.
Below we will introduce you to some well-known models that are particularly popular with musicians from the metal genre and recommend a few cheaper alternatives.
These electric guitar models are the most popular among metal artists:
Ibanez RG
The Ibanez RG is a very modern guitar series that impresses with its light weight, its fast-playing neck with a flat radius and its extraordinary look. RG guitars are offered in various pickup configurations, most commonly seen in metal is a configuration with two active or passive humbuckers.
Gibson Les Paul
The Gibson Les Paul was the first solid body electric guitar from Gibson and is still very popular today. The most popular Les Paul models include the classic Gibson Les Paul Standard and the more modern Gibson Les Paul Custom with gold hardware. In the metal sector you usually see models with humbuckers.
Gibson SG
The Gibson SG, short for Soldbody Guitar, was actually supposed to be the successor to the Les Paul, but over the years it gradually emerged from the shadow of its great predecessor. The SG is now a size in the metal scene and impresses their fans with their woody, mid-range sound. There are many different models, including some with vibrato.
