Perhaps some of you already tried or play one of those ? I checked reviews on the net and they are good. I will have to go to the local store and try it anyway but wanted your advices first. Especially about the Tremolo and the Pickups. Are they good material ? I am looking for a guitar without Floyd Rose, with versatile sounds and a good Tremolo.

Trem and no locking nut results in bad tuning stability, even though the tuners are self-locking. It's enough if you use the trem for slight vibrato but if you go at it with diveboombs and extreme whammying (like I did in the store when I tried the guitar; it was knocked out of tune) I prefer the same guitar with the Ibanez Edge trem and locking nut. The guitar itself is beautifully crafted, like all PRestiges. Great woods, great craftsmanship, quality hardware and paintjob and a sturdy case. Like almost ALWAYS the pickups are bad... They are not totally useless but they don't do the guitar justice - new pickups will improve the guitar even more!! You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

I disagree a bit with Zakk about the trem, since it`s not a fullblown tremolo, but more like a wilkinson (floating system). I have not tried the one that`s one the Ibanez, but on my Carvin I have wilkinson without locking tuners or nut-luck, stays in tune even when (ab)using the trem heavily You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Yeah, I would even try one myself if it looked that, and im a pathological Ibby hater! You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

I was actually looking on getting one myself, tried it at the guitar shop, thought it was awesome, but I just don't have the money to get it The neck is perfect, the finish is amazing, and the tone you get is also good. It plays like a charm with its thin neck I didn't get the chance to try out the tremolo though, so I don't know about that. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.
