Ok have an Burny LP which I use for Rock and standard tuning + drop d with 10s in it.

I have started to want to play drop C tunes like Killswitch Engage and Disturbed tunes.

The LP is ok but really needs 11s or even 12s.

So I have got down to 3 guitars to chose from:-

Dean 79 Series Z in one of the sunburst finishes

Jackson KE3 in black

B.C. Rich Mockingbird Masterpiece in trans black
http://www.guitarampkeyboard.com/en/75254

Really like these 3 so far but can't chose as I like them all for different reasons!

Dean looks and plays awesomely well, the Jackson has duncan pups and the mockingbird is metal heaven!!

Please vote which I should use to tear up the south of England with.

I'd go with the Jackson, i think it looks the best out of the 3

Dean gets my vote; tough decision, though, glad I don't have to make it, personally. I had a Kelly for a while, loved it!! Never had a Dean, though.... Have you looked into any baritones? Schecters? Lemme know how it turns out, good luck...

BC rich. I want a parker for the fluidity and a light twanger.

But I have a Warlock now, and boy does thoose things LOVE down tuning! They ARE HEAVY! to start with....well i know warlock is...mockingbird is similar...And the sustain is amazing cuz of the sheer weight. Fro me eperience, heavy down tuning goes hand in hand with bc rich's/
