So yesterday I was playing around with my Charvel Pro Mod San Dimas Style 1. Which while being a great shredder is not without it's faults. (the bridge pup needs replacing among other things)

I want something just a little lighter, slim neck profile and either a Kahler or Floyd Rose.

Also supply a nice video of it. As far as the rest goes (brand, model) even if it's a GTX that's fine but I want it to have been produced in the 80's

Thanks

I don't really shread, but Ibanez RGs are tried and true. I've got 2.

RG550 by Ibanez or Jackson Soloist.

Both from 90's
Don't look at anything build today

The Ibanez 540S is a sure winner.

That's one of the contenders I'm thinking about. I want a smaller body with an arched top.
I'm also thinking about a Jackson Dinky Actually the new Jacksons have graphite reinforced necks.

The fields still wide open though.

I was thinking Ibanez too.
I read Dan Erlewine book about factory specs for various brands - and never saw such figures like Ibanez has. Action below 1mm etc.

Suggest an 80's shred guitar.
