i've seen a recent thread talk about "Ibanez or Fender". I'm interested in seeking a new girlfriend (buying a new axe )so I'm asking you guys about these 2 guitars. Have any one of you play either one of these or heard of anything about them?
Thank you guys. The details are here. Ibanez S5470 http://guitars.musiciansfriend.com/product...itar?sku=518112 Jackson Phil Demmel King V http://guitars.musiciansfriend.com/product...itar?sku=518753 |

I played the Ibanez S5470 at the Sam Ash music store here and I instantly fell in love with the it! It was the best Ibanez guitar ive ever played.

I have played the S5470 several times... One was brand new and it felt pretty "stiff" (not a problem for a new guitar)... Then I played a used one which felt amazing! Don't ask me how they sound though, I didn't play it through an amp... I have an idea of what it would should sound like though ! If you play it through an amp. You could probably answer my concern about the sustain issue. = = " Soundwise and tonewise would be like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T3pOVin4c44...feature=related This post has been edited by SensE: Oct 16 2008, 04:26 AM |

I didnt really test the sustain but I have heard that a thin neck and a thin body might effect it. Im not sure if that is true or not though.. sorry I couldnt answer your question man. I would sugget that you try them both out, if you can though. I wish I could try that out. I live in Wichita and the biggest guitar store I have over here would be the guitar center. I went there last week and they do not have it in stock so I have no luck to try that out. The Jackson guitar is relatively new compared to Ibanez and they don't have it too. Thank you ZakkWylde. I agree that Jackson has better fretboard wood and EMG pickup compared to Ibanez which is really adorable. Tonewise for this S Prestige would be like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T3pOVin4c44...feature=related What do you guys say about this demonstration? I expect the tremolo is very good since this is an high end Ibanez. I've seen Herman Li using similar S Prestige series which has similar kind of tremolo throughout his career until he got signature model from Ibanez recently. We have many experienced player in GMC. I would really want to listen to you guys and what do you guys think about the video demonstration. Thank you This post has been edited by SensE: Oct 17 2008, 03:33 AM |

The jackson is far from versatile. Well, unless you're playing nothing but heavy riffs, cus of the EMG's. |

I'm not a fan of V shaped guitars, so I would go for the Ibanez for that reason alone
