These days, it’s rare for me to discovery a guitar brand that I’ve never heard of before… how did I miss Bootlegger Guitars? Especially considering that they’re based right here in California. The Bootlegger Guitars Royal, features a super cool triple humbucker pickup setup complete with coil splitting on all pickups. 24 frets, with a double locking trem, on a unique looking design… let’s check this out and do a full review!
Great deals on these used Jackson JS32 guitars can be found all day long on the used market, but whether you get it new for $350 or used for $220, these guitars are an obvious choice for a budget-friendly metal guitar.

This track is available on all major digital music platforms!
Arguably the most affordable old-school shred guitar available, the Kramer Baretta Special, is difficult to find, but great when you can get it! In this video, we take a look at a model in the new Candy Blue color! Does it shred as good as it looks?

Schecter really knocked it out of the park on this one! The E-1 Special has a heavy metal body shape, mahogany body wood, set-neck construction, ebony fretboard, 24 extra-jumbo frets, Floyd Rose, and the totally awesome sustainiac electronics! Built for speed and to turn heads!
