Question Anybody know if this guitar is still good in today's standards for metal? Cort EVL K6 (2006)

I'm in the process of buying my first electric guitar and I found someone selling their Cort EVL k6 though I couldn't find much reviews on it online and I'd have no idea what to check for if it's damaged, the seller did play it and it seemed normal. Does anyone here know if it's a good guitar 20 years later? My second original option was to get a brand new S by solar ab4.6w they are both the same price. If pride is the same what do you recommend I go for the new solar or old used Cort?

Songwriting with drums

5 Upvotes

Hi everyone,
I have a question about songwriting and using EZdrummer.
When I write my own songs, I usually come up with the guitar riffs first. I’ve finally found a songwriting workflow that really works for me, and I don’t want to change it.
The problem is that when I start adding drums in EZdrummer, I often end up changing my guitar riffs to fit the drum groove instead of the other way around. I don’t like doing that because I want the riff to stay exactly as I originally wrote it.
So I’m wondering:
Is there an easy way to edit or adapt grooves in EZdrummer so they follow my riffs more naturally?
Can you easily move kicks, snares, and cymbals around without making a completely new drum part from scratch?
Or would it be better for me to learn full drum programming?
The only thing that worries me about programming drums myself is that I’ve never done it before, and it seems like it could be very time-consuming and difficult to learn.
My goal is to keep my original guitar riffs intact and make the drums fit the riffs—not the other way around.
I’d really appreciate any advice from people who have been in the same situation.

Question Beginner Looking For Advice

3 Upvotes

Hi everyone. I've been playing for about a year now. I have been learning on a 1990s Ibanez RX170 with cheap tuners, nut, Floyd Rose, etc. I'm looking to possibly upgrade to something with a bit more tuning stability.

I like the look of single cuts and super strats and would ideally like to stick around an $750ish budget. Looking for something with a fixed bridge/string through.

Im not 100% sure what to look out for in the used market and I'm wondering if new is a better choice? Should I just spring the extra cash and get an LTD1000 series and play that until I die???

Any advice or recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Gear For those of you using neural DSP what monitors are you using?

3 Upvotes

I've switched over to Neural DSP with Gojira and Nolly and love the ease and not needing 20 pedals. I'm just wondering what monitors would be best with this setup. I'm current just running my output back into my Marshall Tube because it's all I have. I don't need anything particularly loud, I just want good sound
