Hey guys
I need your help! I was offered to sell my Ibanez SV5470f Prestige guitar for 2350$ or exchange it for Ibanez Prestige RG2550z + 1200$. I really don't know what to do!@#$%^&* My guitar is great but my amplifier sucks and if i'll get the RG2550z (which is also a great guitar) I'll be able to get a new tube amplifier. My guitar -> http://www.ibanez.com/ElectricGuitars/model-SV5470F RG2550z -> http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/reviews/ele...550z/index.html I paid 1800$ (the original price was 2200$) for my guitar and today it's not possible to get another one like that in Israel. The RG2550z costs 1750$ in Israel. Further more, The RG2550z was bought 4 months ago and it's still in warranty for another 8 months. What would you do if you were in my situation? Thanks (: Amir BTW I was at Dream Theater's concert last night in Tel Aviv, It was amazing!!! I'll upload some pics tomorrow |

Looks like simple math... ekk confused!
  A great guitar needs a good amp, else your just wasting it's quality... however if it's got good feeling to your playing axe and your got attachments, it might be hard to fine something nice or better to fit it's hole. So, be careful before trading it away, but it does look like a good deal, if your not attached to it. I personally wouldn't give up my axe unless something special could replace it. Saying that i did just save up a bundle for a new amp to go with it and it's the sweetest sounding thing I've ever heard now (worth forking the dosh)!

I have tried only RG model in the store, so I cannot comment on a comparison. From what I've seen, it's a fine instrument. Making that much money with the trade is something that you should consider, but as people said, don't be impatient. Try the RG thoroughly. If you suspect anything, don't push the trade. Remember, if you loose your guitar, and get a second one that you don't like, you haven't done yourself a favor, even if you buy an amp.

So the guy is playing fair, that's good to hear. Examine the guitar, record both of them. I somehow think (although doesn't have to be that way) that your guitar will have more richer tone and better low end. Let's wait and see

Basswood can give you a heaver sound, I personally would change the pickups. Evos pickups can sound killer in basswood for heavy metal/rock.
Your original axe I believe would be a lot smoother playing, taking that and the bridge into consideration. So it really comes down to your style of music?

QUOTE (AmirZino @ Jul 24 2011, 07:42 PM)  Hey guys! I just got a call telling me that the guy has bought the same model as mine from another guy at a bit lower price. Cons: I won't get a new amp \= Pros: I am keeping my guitar (: Thank you all for your advices!!! - Amir  Hey - I would consider that as a good sign. You have a good guitar and you should definitly keep it. Amp will come in the future
