Best Metal Guitar

Metal is a genre of music pioneered by hard rockers like Led Zeppellin and Black Sabbath. In more recent times, it has developed several sub genres like thrash metal. Metal is most well known for its extremely distorted guitar sounds as well as its "heavy" sound.

Most guitars used in metal are solid bodies, with locking tuners and Floyd Rose whammy bars that allow for extreme bending without detuning. Commonly, the guitar is tuned down to a lower pitch than average and equipped with high output humbucking pickups.
