The new Classic Pros are $1,999 and we can discount that.

I was thinking M6 if I ever get one, but that isn't going to happen. Probably now if I continue to like 7's is go with a Carvin. Tone wise, nothing I've had is as good at that. Still my favorite guitar, impeccable quality and not an earth-shattering price (though I think like most have gone up recently)

Yeah, good point, I can imagine you with an M6. It's great to hear how much you love your Carvin, I'm surprised you got your recent Ibanez! I hear that their Allan Holdsworth pickup is on the level of the best aftermarket pickups.

I got the ibanez because

-It's gorgeous. I've ALWAYS had a thing for RG's

-The neck
-I've had great luck with prestige models
-It was my first 7. I hate to custom build one and then decide I don't want a 7

BTW, check you pm's, I'm not going to have this account much longer.

speaking of Carvin........

There are always REALLY nice guitars over at that place, but this really jumped at me. I want (but obviously not 8 string, one string increase at a time

)

Hibidy: I suggest to try also Mayones Guitars! Very expensive but probably the most 7\8 strings confotable (neck)

I'm waiting for that check from you so I can get one

A couple of years ago I thought "maybe" I could save up for one, but from the 2500 they were then, that is well over 4000 now. Sorry, I'm not poor, but I don't have that kinda cash to spend on a "hobby". My prestige cost around 1100 with tax and that was a stretch.

My most recent addition that came over the summer.

EBMM Luke with an all roasted maple neck in Neptune Blue.

Is that a koa top? Those don't look like Carvin pickups, is that a new design from them or do they use other pickups when they do 8-strings?

He hasn't done a NGD yet so I don't know the specs. He just said "NGD soon" when he posted it.

I have Tokai les paul custom,as an addition i'd like to have Epiphone Riviera Custom P93,it looks gorgeous

Holy fap that EBMM is gorgeous... wow...

So is that Carvin 8 string. Next year I'll probably venture into 8 string territory. Enjoyed the 7 string I had a couple years back (J-Team Ibanez) but had to sell it to afford food and home for a while.

I LOVE plain wood-textured and colored guitars too. All guitars. Lovely instruments.

Yeah, if this one I got was a "j craft" maybe I'd not need to return it. Man, ibanez........it's hit or miss big time

What I don't understand it why problems "creep up" with them. Is it just the gas at first? I think my head is screwed on wrong.

I have no idea still what carvin model or specs that is. I'd like to know since I've now caught the 7 string bug. If I ordered one it would likely be next year before I get it.....which would mean I could save up for it.

Has anybody had any experience with one of these?

Ibanez AR325

i'm after something that will compliment my tele.

Lovely looking guitar. But as someone who has bought and sold many ibby's..beware. They are very inconsistent and I've had a tough time getting them to sound right (even if the aesthetics are correct or pickup replacement)

Still, if you can get it with a return policy, then who cares. It's worth a look. Again, nice looking guitar!

Your next guitar?
