But i've been considering canceling my order and buying one of the Dean Dimebag Darrell guitars instead (not sure which one). So what do you guys think? Should I stick with Ibanez or go with Dean? I am strictly wanting a guitar for metal and shred stuff, as I already have classic rock and blues covered. Thanks You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Dean Darell model has only 22 - you WILL feel the lack of those 2 frets! You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

Oct 8 2007, 06:39 AM	GMC:er Posts: 1.259 Joined: 6-June 07 From: Louisiana	I was actually looking at the Dean Razorback V which has 24 frets, and another reason I like this guitar is because it has a whammy. The Ibanez V doesn't. If it did I would just get it. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

You did a good choice with that RG! It's really because a Flying V of any kind I feel has great high fret access. Plus it looks killer imo, but I seriously appreciate your input.

Thats because in the highest frets the freatboard is very big and the acces to this frets isn't as easy as it seems... So I think Ibanez is better to play You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

I have the RG2550e and it's better than any Dean will be (exception of the USA models probably) You're basicly paying for Dime's name and the shape of the guitar with the Deans. The tremolo on them are licenced and not original, you can get much better for the money. The tremolo on the Ibanez is of the same quality (if not better) than an Original Floyd Rose, there is no going wrong with that guitar. Ibanez guitars can do any style really, you shouldn't worry about versatility - it has 3 pickups, whereas the Razorbacks have 2 (which are EMGs) which will limit your versatility of sound. Imo I would take any prestige Ibanez over any Dean. That's just me though. I just feel that Dean charge more just because half their guitars say Dime on them, which is a shame...

Yeah, the only reason I'm really considering the Dean is because it's only a few hundred more bucks than the Ibanez, and isn't just exhorbintantly priced. Thanks for all the info.
