They're both the same profile. The heels are different however, the 770DX has the old "block" heel and the 3550 has AANJ. Ibanez started using the original wizard profile on the higher end prestiges this year. That's why you have wizard (old school neck), super wizard prestige (old school...
:wavey: Me. I'm already waiting on my PGM100RE (apparently one of the last 10 avail. for the U.S. according to my rep :metal:) and am awaiting word on when the 300s can be ordered. I do agree though. Seems like some bitch for the sake of bitching. I'm used to it though, having owned both K7 and...
This will help your gas, check it: Sevenstring.org - jski7's Album: Apex1 and some more here:http://s416.photobucket.com/albums/pp245/apexjski777/ :cool:
Pretty much, yeah :cool:. I hear it's supposed to be just like the RGR421 pic'd above, minus the reverse headstock. Not sure about pups, but then again, who cares? Most will swap 'em anyways. And Dimarzio makes red covers that'll match nicely....:metal:
I usually do my own as well, and I'm now "in the biz" so I can get my guitars direct from Hoshino, but to be fair, I got my Apex from Rich and payed $1 more than retail for it. I literally only payed a dollar over what AMS, MF/GC, and SamAsh had listed. I had the money at hand at the time, and I...
^^^^^^^^ All true. My main deal is that it's been far too long that we've been left with no options, and now that a few are on the table, some want to bitch because they aren't to their specs. Clearly, you aren't one of those guys, as you've put up fairly solid points :cool:. My complaint lies...
By my count, currently, Ibanez has 4 mahogany 7s in production now, and 2 basswood 7s. Apex 1 & 2, and S7320 as well as the Xiphos are mahogany, and the 1527 and 7321 are basswood. But, to be fair, I DO prefer mahogany. I'm just happy that options are starting to appear as far as Ibanez goes...
Happens all the time, you know that :rolleyes:. Someone hears something from someone they believe to be credible, and automatically it becomes fact, and therefore their opinion. All of this occurs regardless of whether or not that person has any personal experience with the subject at hand. The...
They're both good guitars, although I prefer the K7. That said, if both are in the same price range, go with the K7. K7 will certainly have better build quality, and by default feel more "high end". :metal:
Actually, I kinda believe this. I found what appeared to be polishing compound buildup (on a satin/cracked finish? WTF?) in the input jack recess. How did I find it, you ask? I plugged in to tune her up, grazed the inside with the plug tip and presto! Instant fucking paint removal :squint:. So...
Basically it's a K7 in different clothing. The only difference between the two necks is the volute (sp?) at the headstock. This has the Edge Pro 7 as opposed to the Lo Pro also.
Considering that I paid basically retail for a guitar that is completely inspected, set up, has had the O.G. locking studs installed, and shipping included then yeah, its well worth it. Quality from the factory is damn good (on mine at least). Dare I say that it'll give some of the PRSs' I deal...
Got this kickass Apex 1 from Rich/IbanezRules last friday. Before I go on, a word or two about the inlay: I don't care if you like it or not. That's not what this thread is about. If it makes you cringe, that's cool. Just don't fill this space with a whole bunch of whining please :squint:. The...
As per the title, Jski7 is officially back. Just wanted to stop in and say "hey" and announce my return. To all those that know me, I can't wait to get back into the groove again. To all those I've yet to meet, I look forward to chatting with ya'll. Stay tuned for my very own NGD, which is sure...
Had one , loved it , got rid of it , and now I hate myself . I'll be getting another one when I can afford it , that's for sure . Maybe even both colors (I had the FB) . You just can't go wrong with mahogany and seven strings IMO . As far as the inlay , I didn't find it confusing at all . Just...
