I've always loved the RFR 550's so I decided to ditch the factory white and go with RFR. Not exactly sure what Ibanez uses but I used Dayglo's Rocket Red and it's pretty damn close to what's on the 550's. :metal:
I just got this in on Saturday and have only played it a total of 20 minutes so far but this is the first fanned fret instrument I've ever owned and I can see the appeal. I've always been a fan of Bartolini pickups, and with a million different tone options on this thing the pickups and preamp...

You're mad because we don't like an album. Who gives a shit how long this album took, the end result is pedestrian. Also, listening to this on a CD after taking it out of their fancy packaging won't make the music any better. It's the same shit, just stretched way too long with the same tired...
Long-winded, safe, pedestrian. They've exhausted every 0-5-7-8-7-5 power chord pattern in drop D at this point, as well as the Jambi-style triplet percussive guitar riff. It's all been done and done better by them before. D+/C-.
