Best Mid Range Electric Guitar - Top 9 products in 2023

Our Top Picks

1. Best Overall: ESP LTD EC-256FM Electric Guitar

It boasts a Flamed Maple top, a set-neck design, and binding on the body, fingerboard, and headstock, among other notable premium characteristics. The neck is a narrow U shape with 22 XJ frets and a fingerboard radius of about 14 inches. It features a 24.75-inch scale length, as anticipated for a single cutaway LP-style guitar. The TOM bridge and LTD tuners are in working order. A 42 mm molded nut and D'Addario XL110 strings will suffice. But it's the gleaming gear that draws the attention.

2. Best Monkey Grip: Ibanez JEMJRSP Steve Vai Signature Yellow

The horns and headstock may draw blood, but the Monkey Claw Grip and vivid color appear to soften the edge with a unique charm. The tonewoods are adequate with a Meranti body, Maple neck, and Jatoba fretboard. The Wizard III neck design is easy to work with, with a fingerboard radius of 15.75 inches and 24 jumbo frets to enable the quickest shredding and riffs. It features a full 25.5-inch scale length despite being a Jr guitar, which has nothing to do with size.

3. Best Maple Neck: Schecter Omen Extreme-7 Electric Guitar

The Omen Extreme-7 is a guitar for musicians. It's no starter ax with seven strings. The Black Cherry finish on the Quilted Maple arched top, complete with body Crème multi-ply binding on the body, neck, and fingerboard, is stunning. The Mahogany body features deep double cutaways, and the bolt-on Maple neck has a super thin C neck that's only a millimeter thicker at the first fret (20 mm) than an Ibanez Wizard III - not bad for a 7-string guitar! It also has 24 X Jumbo frets.

4. Best Rosewood Fingerboard: Ibanez RG Series RG7421PB 7-String

The Wizard II-7 contour of the 3-piece Maple neck is slender and smooth, with 19 mm thickness at the first fret and 21 mm thickness at the 12th fret. Even though the additional string makes playing a little more difficult, the fingerboard radius is lovely and level at 15.75 inches, making it a little simpler to reach. The nut width is much broader, 48 mm, to accommodate the additional string.

5. Best Alder Body: Fender Player Stratocaster HSS Electric Guitar

The Player Series is of mid-level quality and skill level. This model has everything you want in a Stratocaster, plus additional extras that make it a better value. The Aged Cherry Burst finish on this Plus Top model, which features a Flame Maple Top on an Alder body, is stunning. The body has a deep curve to fit nicely against your body. The Maple neck features a Modern C shape, a scale length of 25.5 inches, a fingerboard radius of 9.5 inches, and 22 medium jumbo frets.
