+! for either the EBMM JP7 or an Ibanez Prestige/Universe. You should be able to get one with your budget. Carvin is another excellent choice. I don't like the neck nearly as much as Ibanez necks,... |

Yes. Huge difference in sound and playability. I would go for the 450 or 470. You may not even need to upgrade the bridge if its in pretty good shape. |

The RG neck will be a little thinner than Jackson necks, but the fretboard will also be flatter and wider. I would definitely try it before you buy it. I was a die-hard fan of Ibanez RG necks for... |

Bound fretboard, Seymour Duncan pickups, MIJ, awesome color... yeah, I would snatch that up in a second. Awesome guitar, good price. Coming from a fellow Ibanez fan ;) |

Well I gave up trying to fix it as the issue wasn't with the power tubes. Took it in to the shop, I should get it back within a couple weeks. |

I've got a RG370DX loaded with EMG 81/60. The pickup uprade DEFINITELY improved my tone, but as others have mentioned getting a better amp would be a much wiser use of your money. |
