QUOTE (Ronin @ Jul 23 2007, 09:48 AM)  It seems that a lot of questions about new guitars are by people wanting to pick up an Ibanez guitar and the people here who love them. I am a little backwards in that I already have an RGA121 and am looking for a second guitar. Since the RGA121 is a hard tail, I'm looking for something with a Tremolo on it. I also have a Lite Ash Strat that I am lukewarm on, especially the tremolo on it which just plain sucks. Since I love my RGA, the RGA 1570/2550 have caught my eye. The only thing I worry about with them is that they are mighty close to what I have now. I have toyed with the idea of selling my Strat and getting an American Strat or stretching the budget with an American Deluxe Strat. These are both a pretty large upgrade to my current Strat and will give me some difference from what I have vs the RGA121. They are also pretty versatile guitars. Or I could keep both of them and go for something like a Les Paul Studio for a change of pace. What do you all think? If you're happy with your Ibanez I'm sure an Ibanez also for a second guitar will be swell. -------------------- My bands homepage

Yeah - why not getting another Ibanez? Some RG Prestige series?

QUOTE (Ronin @ Jul 23 2007, 11:20 AM) Good point. Even a US Strat will not have a great tremelo, Les Pauls have no tremelo If an awesom tremelo is what you are after, look at the RG prestice series with the Edge Pro (which is amazing) - as has been said. Also, Jackson and Schecter have guitars with Floyd tremelos - check those if you want a particular style, although I don't think either make would beat the RG prestige for quality, but maybe more your style if you are looking for somsething specific. -------------------- Check out my Instructor profile

I think Gibson did an LP for a while with a Bigsby back in the 1980s - there might even be an Epiphone version of it in their range. Otherwise you'd probably have to retrofit one. Or if you want a singlecut with humbuckers and a trem but don't mind the make perhaps look towards something like an PRS singlecut or an ESP or an Eggle or a custom built (though don't know if any have a trem fitted as standard. Sure one must have
