I need a new guitar, the genres I will be playing are: Death metal (brutal, os, melo, some tech) and some thrash

I would prefer it if it had a floyd rose and a C body shape as I ideally want to put it on a guitar stand so retarded shapes will be awkward, I would also prefer it to just be black but white, red and none cringe colors will do. Does anyone have any recs? I was looking to spend 6-800 pounds (800-1000 dollars).

I am kinda struggling through because I see some ibanez guitars but they have a fixed bridge or are a stupid shape/ colours, some jacksons Ive looked at like the pro series have floyd rose specials (the ones made from zinc instead of steel, not sure how fast they wear out) and are made in china (I dont want a chinese made guitar for that price range). The closest I came to was the ESP LTD MH-200 in the pic rel but that has a shitty zinc floyd rose. The ones that meet my criteria are 1200 pounds (1600 dollars) and I kinda dont want to fucking spend that on a piece of wood, unless this is the market and I have to suck it up, not poor but id just rather not if I dont have to. A close match is the Ibanez RGRB620, anyone own one of those? but again, it has a china made zinc tremolo and its like a thousand dollars. Or am I thinking about this too hard?

Anon you're playing modern metal
Just chug on the F# string on your 8 string meme guitar

old school brutal death is 90s tho, I like regurgitation, monstrosity, malevolent creation, suffo, early dyin fetus etc. I dont want a 7 or 8 string.

Yes. Just get whatever you like the look of and replace the hardware later down the line if it's that big of a problem. You can swap a Special with an Original effortlessly.
Pickup swaps are also dogshit easy these days because of those idiot-proof quick connect kits.
Want locking tuners? Most of them have guide pins so you don't have to drill anything.

Just get a used gibson SG

If you want heavy ass strings and a floyd rose, you need to get a really good floyd. There's a lot of bullshit bridges that can't handle low tunings because they're built for E standard

Make sure the bridge is good enough

you can usually find schecters for cheap

>>127146654
I have a job, dunno why a guitar costs the same as a car

Buy used, check out Schecters and Solar. Pickups matter, go for EMG 81-85, Seymour Duncan or Fishman Fluence. I'd recommend getting a 26.5" scale for lower tunings, consider getting a 7 string, you don't know what you're missing.

If I had the dough I'd buy a Rutan Ironbird.
