Which of the guitars is best for metal? I like the looks on silhouette best, but am willing to offer that if Steve Morse sounds better for metal. JP models are to expensive and i want hardtail
As far as everything being stock on both guitars, the Morse model is better suited as the pickups are much hotter. You can really get some nice tight heavy riffing going on with the bridge pickup. However it also depends on the amp. You can of course change pickups to whatever you like to suit the style you play.
