Guitar help?

Okay so i've been playing guitar for a few months now and all i own is a green Stagestar Ibanez. My father agreed to getting me a new guitar for Christmas and i'm not sure what would be good for me and my band. We play mostly metal/punk/post-hardcore so i need a guitar that sounds good distorted. I was thinking of the Deryck Fender xD (i would prefer Tele's or Strat's)

P.S. IM TRYING TO STAY AWAY FROM EPIPHONES AND SQUIRE'S!

You want a guitar with humbuckers. Deryck's signature tele is actually a Squire. So if you wan't to stay away from those then I wouldn't get it. It really depends on how much you would like to spend.

Don't worry man. The squire is based off of Deryck's FENDER '72 Telecaster Deluxe Reissue.

It has two wide range humbuckers, so it will help you achieve that dirty tone. The only conflict is the guitar's price and your budget. One of these axes will cost you around $700 USD brand new. If you really want one, and money is a problem, try finding one used. I am building one right now.

The 72' looks awesome and from what i've heard from youtube it's exactly what i'm looking for. I think i'll just have to look around

The Signature is a bit too basic for what its worth. You could get the same type of squire thats not Derycks signature for 179$ USD

I've been saving up some money to buy and customize that Fender just like Deryck did..

But I'm not going to copy it exactly.
I'm not going to unwire the neck pickup, I'm leaving in all the knobs and the pickup selector..
And I might make it exact like Deryck's guitar afterwards...

Can you go up to $450? Save up some money for yourself and help add to your dad's guitar fund so you can get the new Fender Blacktop Telecaster HH.

It's essentially Deryck's old Telecaster HH model that they had back in 2003/2004, except it has different knobs and the selector switch is in a different position. Not to mention this one has a belly contour cut, which feels really nice when you're playing sitting down.

Hmmm i like the basic design on this one, and it sounds pretty damn good for its price. I'll probably go with this if i could scrape about 50$ from family and relatives for the holidays haha thanks

I've heard the pickups sound muddy, but those can always be changed to suit your playing style.

EDIT: I saw your introduction thread
Yeah i joined a few days ago soooo hey everybody. I literally think Sum 41 is the best band of all time but i also like Mettalica, Slayer, Mega Death, The Clash, Blur, MCR Green Day, Aesop Rock, Gorillaz, A Day To Remmeber etc. Mainly Metal and Punk (with some exceptions)
I own a 56' Gibson, and a replica Sum 41 Whibley Fender Telecaster and have a band called "Name:_____"
I'm confused. :confusion:
