MF just refunded 195usd to my account because of the presidents sale (yes, they price guarantee their own stuff!)

Well good stuff mate, do not know what all these days/sale excuses are all about (black friday, presidents sale...etc.) but they sure do seem to bring with them some really good deals...England/UK needs more holidays like that already

Well, I was looking for cash compensation for my little minor problem

When are you going to post clips with the new axe??

Dean Aka Nekro · Post by **Dean Aka Nekro** » Wed Feb 23, 2011 2:48 pm

Well seems to be just about right then if you paid £800 for it

I shall upload something as soon as i have actually done something with it instead of just playing it

I already programmed a drum track with a meshuggah-like feel so hopefully i will be able to fit something over it

Edit: Sorry hibidy i mean $800 which is a good price for a prestige for sure

You were closer to right the first time

If it wasn't exactly what I wanted (and I'm pretty sure it is) I'd not paid quite that much (still about 1100 after the discount)

But I wanted new, I wanted the hardtail, I wanted some funky SC action, but still have nice chunky HB too AND it had to be ibanez AND it had to be prestige.

There are only two things that I wish: I would have preferred a bound neck (couldn't they have just done that instead of the body binding??

) and I'd liked it to have been super wizard prestige (in other words an identical neck to the 3520)

The good news is that I'm pretty much set now........no seriously

I've got whammarama, I've got cleans, I got funky, I've got blistering, I've got bluesy, all of my bases seem to be covered.

Still don't know what to do about my strat though

Right i am with you now price wise. Admittedly am m totally rubish when it comes to currency conversion

and do not follow it. If its giving you the feel and playability then i would (If in your shoes) keep hold of it now. Minor cosmetic flaws/bits if it completes the other two you have already

More Ibby drool material:

I may bid on this one but if someone in Australia wants it, just let me know and I'll back off:

So nice I have to post it twice:

A custom 2003 Japanese-built S:

I can't for the life of me figure out why this Prestige is selling so cheap:

@first one: I'm getting a link that says 1421, which is the other one I was considering. What I was told by quite a few people is that it shouldn't be called a prestige. Allegedly, the tuners are not very good, the PUPs are average and people have not been very happy with the fret job. Though I was pretty close to getting it (but I think I found it new for about 720??)

@Middle two: I'm going to have to ban myself from even looking at ebay. I'm just not good enough of a player to justify how many guitars I've owned/own

Too tempting....

@1570:

, it's cheap because it's missing strings silly

I think the last one is cheaper due to the three distinct chipped areas in the last picture. Still a total bargain at that price!

My favorite Prestige has a maple top and mahogany body but, like this one, has a flame maple laminate on the very top. I wish they wouldn't do that.

Very astute observation!!!

Your next guitar?
