Your next guitar?

But a hardtail

I dunno, I can't play it first so I'm pretty nervous about it but....don't you think that looks great?

A neighbour has one of those...plays beautifully. ....for him...hopefully it works out!!

[hibidy]

We'll see how the dentist goes, if it's not a fortune then maybe I'll place an order. 5-8 weeks is the guestimate. Right about what I'd payed for my strat price wise. We'll see.

A Carvin store was actually right across the street from the last JRR location. They make great playing guitars and those Allan Holdsworth signature model pickups are supposed to be some of the best sounding pickups available.

You know they used to have a store here in sac and I never knew it until it closed

It's an interesting company. My first decent guitar was a Carvin, it had a harsh sound because of the hard rock maple body and ebony fretboard that they were using back then but it played like butter and looked gorgeous. Imagine this with a Bisby:

Definitely this one.

Looks a bit strange, I admit, but I already have the cheap-o 6-string non-Prestige version of it, and that handles just nicely.

Having the 26.5" scale is already a big step with the RGD421, and the prestige brings a neck that's laid out for a 7th string -- will make it so much easier to tune down to A# without screwing with the neck tension all the time.

It has to be this EXACT ONE Ibanez guitar or no Ibanez at all, because all others have their damn volume knobs where I want to put my hand.

I wonder why certain images are blocked out in Opera

It's mahogany neck/body with a flamed maple top and ebony fingerboard. I can change those options but I really wanted that setup.

That's a beauty! I'd own one if I could play 7's or a 26.5" scale.

someday, I will get my baby back.

I bet that'll be awesome on all strings, not just the low B. Piano tone.

The mahogany body and neck should keep it from sounding harsh like mine. Also, I'm guessing a figured maple top is softer than Canadian hardrock maple. A rosewood fretboard would probably guarantee amazing tone but ebony does look beautiful and feels super slick.

wow, I like the finish on the body.

[BERFAB]

Very sexy beast, that.

Very cool. Enjoy.

Excellent taste Rob/Chokehold dude, I not long ago picked up an RGD320Z for under £300, Absolute steel for the price. I was going to buy one of the Iron Label models and still might do. This Saturday coming up my little local are having a Ibanez and Laney event where a fellow dude I know only very vaguely is on gear demonstration duties, He uses an Iron Label 8-string RG with trem. The one's that I tried off the shelf had really pathetic gauge strings on them which was no use to me whatsoever in determining if I was going to get one and the place was not my usual where I have no problem asking to change the strings and what not to try something properly in context. So basically the guy will have his setup properly and with at least ballpark gauge strings on it and as I know all the dude's I'm sure he will let me try it to get a proper gauge (sic) on whether it'll be for me or not, We play similar styles at least so its a safe bet, Also Neil is a good mate. Anyway this is the dude in action:


So I'm excited about Saturday

Otherwise I'm going to just have a Halo Custom Guitar exactly how I won't it, 29" of utter br00tality and I'll spare everyone the details until I have the bastard. Edit: Probably abit like this except another string and another 2" on the neck - http://www.haloguitars.com/store/MORBUS ... S-TBK.html f**king England, Why is their nothing over here at such awesome prices so I could try one to be more than certain as I am already Steel for $599 all day long!

and song to help you all feel my pain, A cover actually


All the best and to all as always
