ANY Prestige serize Ibanez would be great though. It's a tough call man... You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

ANY Prestige serize Ibanez would be great though. It's a tough call man... it plays ok for my tastes, the neck is a little thick, and the pickups aren't so great, maybe im being a little irrational, but i feel like ive finally found a guitar that is perfect in my hands. the RG is lighter too, which is good, as i suffer from chronic tendinitis.

Wait for a while - you will by that Ibanez anyway. As far as I can see, its a non-prestige ibanez. I would then rather buy one of the cheaper jacksons, as I think they are better 'player' guitars. An Ibanez prestige on the other hand smokes (I've had an RG2570). For the amount of money you could get from the kramer, Id sell that one and go for a second hand RG550, 2550 or 2570 You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

I just looked back over the guitar you have listed there. Don't get it. It might play good, but it has the Edge III trem. It really blows at staying in tune.

I was quizing him because I was interested in it. I found a music store that had one in stock, and you guessed it, all my gear (except my nice amp and first guitar) is for sale to get one. Hope that helps ya....Guess you just can't beat an Ibanez. Took me long enough to realize that haha. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.
