$900 Guitar Selection

[D-Rock]

I'm a sucker for the $600-$1200 range of guitars. Never owned anything more expensive.
Been wanting a new shape and I've narrowed it down to these three which are all approx. $900

I have grins and gripes with each because they do have their own plus' & minus'. I'm also mainly a fixed bridge hardtail guy.

Any insight or perspective to share on them? (I'm neither Yoda or from Renaissance times so I refuse to ask "What say you?")




Jackson Demmel Fury

+ EMGs, shape, inlays, classic headstock, string thru.
- Laurel fretboard, painted neck, another white guitar...

Sterling Luke LK100

+ Shape, RW fretboard, built in boost, roasted neck, locking tuners, color?
- Saddles, trem, V neck shape, Sterling brand pickups, color?

Epi Tiger Prophecy V

+ Shape, Fishman's, ebony fretboard, color, inlays, TOM bridge.
- Volume placement, no case, familiar neck, another Epi...

I recently got an Epi 355. one of those 59 Custom shop inspired models with good parts etc. . I am extremely impressed, even compared much more expensive similar guitars. So based on that. I would say Epi but I dont know the specs on that V.. Otherwise, the Jackson. The EB guitars play great but they dont sound so hot imo... plus you have the warble factor of the term.. I f you dont need or want a term, it sucks to have one in the way from my experience.
