I'm very much into most Ibanez guitars, but I think I'll keep saving for that RG1570 I've been wanting...

yeah, right, dude. Ibanez kicks the shiit out of Fender (at least the American ones) and Gibson any day. For the price of the lowest quality guitar of Gibson you can get an Ibanez with the quality of the highest Gibson. They are very good guitars, and Gibson and Fender are only names that cost several thousand dollars.

ibanez' guitars must sound pretty good cuz i dont see why someone would like one. I dunno, to me they look cheap and crappy. Gibson might not sound as good but at least it has style and doesnt look like a some terrible copy made in china or something

The looks are obviously a personnal preference. Ibanez has different styles of guitars for different styles of playing, just like every other brand. Most of the time people are heart-set on a specific brand, even if its not the type of guitar they need. When choosing a guitar, don't look at the name brands first, find one that fits you.

I hate the action, the tone, the look. Every Fender and Squire look exactly the same. But thats just my opinion.

Most Ibanez's are meant to be played fast, heavy strumming and soloing. Most Fenders and Gibsons are meant for country and blues styles. They're not limited to these, but are the most common.

You should play a guitar that fits your style. I have some expensive Ibanez's and Gibsons, but also a couple of cheap Stagg rip-offs. And to be honest: there's a stagg Les Paul that I love to play more for classic rock, than the original expensive version (which I also own) so it's just a matter of taste.
Of course: Gibson or Fender, or Ibanez look cool on your headstock, but just because it's got a hefty prize on it, doesn't mean it plays better!!!
The main reason why I prefer Ibanez, is because they constantly evolve their guitars, Gibson and Fender however (though they are cool) haven't evolved since they first started in the 50ties...
But it's just a matter of taste

Well, Dimebag7, if I look at a Fender nowadays I'm still looking at the same model and sound they made 50 years ago, if you're pleased with that sound, that's ok. But I'm someone who looks at guitars like: 'wht can this guitar offer me, that other guitars can't', and with Ibanez guitars, they just stand out of the others with their features.
Of course, a fender looks cool (hey: it's a fender) but for the money that can buy you a standard original fender, you get the highest grade in Ibanez guitars. And since I'm a Steve Vai, Satriani, Morse fanatic in playing, I need a guitar that can cope with any style... And Ibanez just fits that bill exactly

But as I said: it's a matter of personal taste, I'm just telling you how I feel about those classic rock guitars. (I do own a couple of them)

This is why I don't like Fender. Fender found a style and tone that sold. So what did they do? Keep it. Just as the stlye of music changes, the style of playing changes right along with it. Ibanez offers an extensive variety of guitars, they have one for just about everyone.

I can only think of a few reasons why not to get an Ibanez:

You only play guitars that cost as much as your income.
You found a guitar that you like (and its not Ibanez), and your afraid of change.
You don't play guitar.

I dont want to get into the big debate, but really its all subjective..its all upon your prefrence. I have played every guitar I coulf get my hands on at Guitar Center, some sound better then others, but I find the RG guitars the most comfortable for me to play with. I would like the get a Strat sometime in the near future, just as a daily jamming axe..the Ibanez to me is too pretty to risk getting banged around. I think that the people who act like the Les Pauls are holier then thou just say that for status..to make themselves appear to be something special, like they are soo good that they earned the right to own/play a Les Paul..but at the end of the day, its the guitarist and his skill that counts. I mean, anyone with a fat wallet can own an expensive guitar, but a broke ass person can buy a walmart axe and shame the guy with his $3000 guitar if he doesnt even know what hes doing.

I play quite a few styles, and the only problem I've ever had is changing the tuning, but leaving it in standard suits me just fine.
I don't think i'll need to buy another guitar after this. It's been through scrapes and drops and I've never needed anything replacing (except strings)
It's amazing , and it plays like an absolute dream.

Mine are about 10mm from the middle pickup, very low. But that is because when I got it it had to be setup; I had no choice. So when they said how low do you want the action I asked for it to be very very low which it is.

As people said about Ibanez updating;
This guitar is a huge improvement over the RG350 although that is also a great guitar.
Good price too.

There are obviously good ones and bad ones out there, but there is nothing stopping you turning a bad one into a great one.
Step 1. Buy this guitar second hand, you can get some great deals. I got mine on eBay with a hard case for £230
Step 2. Remove the pickups, when even considering buying this guitar add the cost of new pickups. Have some fun, think of the guitar you really want and buy the same pups, get them second hand if you have too, anything is possible. I opted for the dimarzio paf joe in the neck and the bill Lawrence USA l500xl in the bridge black and cream zebra. The infinity 3 and 4 sell on eBay for about £5 for the set, are these really the pups for you?
Step 3. Go onto floydupgrades.com and buy the edge 3 big brass block, mine is being fitted while I type so I am yet to supply an answer if it makes a difference, but I'm hopeful.
Step 4. And this is the important one, take your guitar to someone who knows what they are doing and have them install the parts and set it up for you!!! I had my guitar first set up in December a couple of years ago when I got it, and as the months moved on and it got warmer the temperature change really effected the guitar. That is how sensitive these guitars are when they're set up properly.
Hope this helps, the whole thing will cost half the price of a premium ibanez and a quarter of the price of a Prestige and what is best is that you had a hand in it. Be original
