Well, first of all I'm looking for a new axe..I don't currently have a job and I won't until July but I have been selling things on ebay, giving guitar lessons, etc. Depending on how the next few auctions treat me, I might go for a custom Carvin guitar. Probably a C66. They are incredible! If I can't get to the $1000 price range then I will probably get an Ibanez S470DXQm or a Schecter C-1 FR. If I go for the Ibanez or the Schecter, whichever one will have a Tremol-No installed and I'll probably get some new pickups.
As for pedals and effects go theres really not much on my mind. The only actual effects I use in my playing are chorus and delay; And my chorus and delay pedals in my opinion are awesome. I know for sure I want an EQ of some sort. I'll probably go for one of the MXR EQs. I'm also considering a type of noise gate like an ISP or something. Something that won't color my tone, so if you guys know of any good ones please tell me.
