I've probably sold wads of them by now
THOSE GUYS OWE ME A GUITAR BY GOLLY!!!
It's all good though. I"m just a huge ibby fanboy trying to spread the love!!!
You pretty much nailed it on the FEEL thing!! I"ve owned Les Paul type guitars believe it or not
Actually prefer them for some four finger tapping bits. But yeah they are a different beast entirely and each guitar does actually shape the way you play!!! Just due to how it's built and what it encourages or discourages your fingers from doing.

@ Mertay: Indeed man, i never read the instructions for the 5" speakers, but I just tinkered with the 2 knobs on the back, but there are 3 on the back of these - and I'll have to do something to make the overall sound a little brighter.
@ Todd: I'm not sure how something like an endorsement is done, but I can guarantee you sold 2 Ibanez' to me and Bleez. And SpaceMonkey had something to do with it too. But I would be happy to suggest or endorse an endorsement. A major aspect of it was the few times I've been able to join your video chats - those are such a great tool and I wish more often some were done when I am not at work - but I understand this is mostly European so it's just the way it is with the time zones.
But I have to say, PRS and Ibanez are my favorite guitars - and worlds apart in the way they feel.
To me, PRS is fun for slamming, Drop D stuff, and Ibanez for stuff where you need to be able to throw your fingers around a little more and the guitar offer some forgiveness. My sausages won't squeeze together easily for certain chords and my natural finger spread is a little wider than what feels comfortable above the 12th fret on PRS for some solos (which I am attempting to pick out) as opposed to what I would write on one (to make it comfortable).
The scale size may be the same, I'm not really sure, but maybe it's the frets - regardless, it is very evident with both the Ibanez and the Jackson, as compared to the PRS / Les Paul types of necks, there seems to be more spread and a different maneuverability about the neck - not better - just different. So for me, it definitely a "feel thing" for what sort of something gets played on which instrument.
