Schecter Diamond Omen-6 or Ibanez GRG170DX?

Hey there people! First of all, I'm glad being here on the forum, I see lots of professionalism I must say!

Yeah, well... I finally managed to get 300€ to buy a new guitar and wow I'm so happy >.< The only thing left to do is choose one of the below mentioned guitars, but since I'm a total beginner I was hoping you guys could help me further!!!


The Schecter Diamond Series Omen-6 (299€):

The Ibanez GRG170DX (229€):
www .zzounds.com/item--IBAGRG170DX

Both very good beginner guitars according to some reviews, still...
Even if the Schecter is more expensive, not so sure if it's also better and I don't know any local music shops nor do I know anyone who can help me out..
I like solos a lot in case this matters...
Music style's more like Avenged Sevenfold, Metallica, Devildriver, Iron Maiden...
Uhm yeah, need all the opinions I can get ^^

My vote goes to the Schecter. They're very well-built guitars.

Hello xhaihappen, welcome to the forum. Sorry I can't help with this, not familiar with either. If they are close, I would suggest going to a local store and putting your hands on both. And even a couple of others if possible. You might be surprised how much better one feels than the other or another may catch your eye.

I just sold my Schecter C1 Diamond Series. It was a very nice guitar. No complaints at all. It didn't suit me because I just didn't like the jumbo frets. I've got one of these coming in the mail right now as a replacement....
