My latest acquisition: Original 1991 Ibanez RG770DX. The neck is incredibly fast, comes with a Floyd Rose, and the DiMarzio made pickups these guitars had offer unparalleled bang for the buck. This will probably be my main until i decide to really drop some big bucks later this year. A few dings in the body and headstock, but in perfect playing condition.
Check out this 15-year old kid. Not too shabby, and the chick in the background is easy on the eyes!

Ive seen this before. Heās covering another guitarist. I cant remember the guys name, heās not very famous, but has lots of videos on youtube. Plays a lot of flashy stuff like this.

Thatās pretty cool.
I could only take that in small doses, though.
Just bought this.
La Cabronita Tele body. Itās ash, which means this was a factory second or blemished grain because they painted solid. Ash La Cabronitas are typically only painted/sold translucent white.
Iāll slap a couple TV Jones pickups (PowerāTron Plus in the bridge) in here and a maple/maple neck.

Itās really cool, like a tea cup pig or a Flemish rabbit, but what can you do with it?

Im sticking with the Dimarzio made Ibanez stock PUPs for now, i really only jumped on this because i love ibanez and for the sake of collecting, this is a truly iconic and incredible guitar, especially for the price. From what i understand these were originally discontinued because people started realizing they could get near-JEM quality for RG price.
Its been getting a lot of use but i will be making a rather big purchase later this year and when i do my other guitars are definitely gonna start feeling neglected, so not too keen on investing any money in them right now.
I had this Steve Lukather blueburst Ibanez back in the day when I thought I was going to really learn to play. Iām sure I would have. http://www.ibanezrules.com/catalogs/us/1983/luke/p02.jpg
A side thing this guyās picture above reminded me of. Maybe it was just a mental thing of mine, but I could not get it outta my head that the roller outfit on the bridge of the Kahler design was costing some sustain. I always thought the Floyd Rose design was simpler and better. Did I bring this up before? I donāt know. Too many posts any more.

Boy that is a sick looking guitar. Not really my Ibanez of choice but its a badass looking sig model.

Itās a sweet axe. When I was 19 I had a RG550 and it was my first shredding machine. It was great. Recently I bought 2) RG470ās made of ash, and pulled the shitty stock pickups and put in EMGās. My luthier dressed the frets and set them up properlyā¦my favorite road guitars! They play like 2K guitars, but I have $800 into each one. I love Ibanez.

Kahlerās were awful to deal with. Floydās donāt sound any better, but they are easy to deal with.
I tracked this this morning, as an exercise.

I love RG550ās as well. Thats why i bought wanted the RG770; its basically a 550 with pickups that i dont have to replace.
Iām probably in the minority here, but I really donāt like the way Ibanezās play. I like big fat necks. I like the 6100 jumbo frets and the flat radius up high, but need a baseball bat neckā¦ lol.

I know some people that are just like that, big fat les paul style necks, 11 gauge + strings so they can really dig in. All about your style.
I like razor thin, blazing fast necks/fretboard, jumbo frets and 9 gauge strings. My action is kept obscenely low too. But its all about my play style. I simply can not play the Vai and shreddy metallica shit on a guitar like a les paul.
For the record, im not saying im some incredible shredder cause im not, but im solid enough to fuck around with some fast shit from these dudes. Ibanez is definitely my number 1.
