Good Guitars With A Whammy Bar?

Question

I'm looking for my 2nd guitar and i would like to know,What are the names some good guitars with a whammy on them,That cost around $300-$450? BTW I play Mostly Metal and some Alternative.

Answer 1

Jackson DXMG

Most Fenders/Stratocaster knock-offs have a whammy, but it sucks because they

1) bend ONLY forward

2) Go out of tune if you use them

on a DXMG

it won't go out of tune because the strings lock, unlike most normal whammies

(Floyd Rose is what the device is called)

I wouldn't buy a guitar JUST for the d**n whammy though...

Answer 2

You should be able to find a decent Schecter in that price range on sale.

Don't get a Fender unless you are very experienced, they go out of tune if you use the tremolo (whammy bar)

Look for one with a locking trem and preferably a set neck.

Answer 3

There are so many.

Jackson is a great guitar company for your style of playing, but their guitars can get pretty expensive.

Check out their Dinky Series, and this guitar.

That is a Jackson MG Series DXMG Dinky Electric Guitar, $400.

The guitars with ebony for the fingerboard will cost more, so look for ones with rosewood.
