Hi,

I am not sure if I am posting in the right place. If not, please move it to the appropriate section.

I live in Pune and need to buy a new guitar. I used to have an Ibanez GRG170DX, which I bought from Nagpur. However, it got totaled in a freak accident and I now need a new one. My budget is about 12-14k.

I mainly play Rock/Metal and occasionally Blues. Please suggest some guitars, how much they cost and where to get them.

Thanks in advance.

I live in Pune, but a trip to Mumbai is not possible because of my busy schedule. Please tell me anyway.

PS: There is a Furtados outlet in Pune as well.

But its a little costly, my earlier Ibanez (RIP) which I got from Nagpur cost me 13k, while in Furtados I saw it to be 16k. I cannot raise that budget for atleast 1 more month.
