    Ibanez AZ Presige Series

    The Premiums aren't the best. I've had two Prestige AZ2404, one in blue and the other the satin burst finish. The difference between them and any Premium AZ I have played over the years was night/day. The Premiums all had this weird cheap feeling about them, poorly cut nut slots, fret buzz...

    Ordered from Japan recently?

    Don't think rosewood is the issue, this hasn't been an issue since Cites lifted the ban last year. I just ordered a guitar from Ikebe and they said they can only use Fedex as it's the only option currently and it's much more expensive. Still worth it for the guitar I got but people should be...

    Quality of Edwards vs Solar?

    From the Edwards I have owned in the past, they have all been perfect. This is coming from someone who is a die hard MIJ fanboy. You'd think they were MIJ, there is debate on whether they are or not, some say machined/glued in China, shipped over to japan for paint/electronics/fretwork etc. I...

    Mesa amps opinions

    Wouldn't exactly call them a Marshall anything, they just replaced the F series with re worked gain channels. Express series had epic cleans but weird flabby gain structure, wasn't bitey like a Marshall and wasn't tight like a mark series either, even the EQ versions where very meh. The only...

    Ibanez 2019 New Stuff

    The wood isn't as dry nor as good/old as it used to be, each year I've seeing the woods get greener and greener, I had a 2013 RG752 next to a 2018 RG752 the other day and the difference is staggering. Its honestly to the point now where I don't think I'll buy a new Ibanez again as the maple...

    Ibanez 2019 New Stuff

    And? It was way over priced for what is was and only had a cheap veneer, only kept that guitar for about 3 months and traded it. Give me a RG8527 or RG3727 over the newer RG752's anyday of the week. The older Prestige were way better, better woods, better overall QC and specs.

    What are the cheapest MIJ 7 strings?

    RG7620 or RG7420 would be the cheapest. RG752's are getting cheap now though, especially the early ones.

    Ibanez 2019 New Stuff

    Ah what? I don't think the consumer base for Ibanez or guitars in general is the entire population. I was just making a point that they obviously don't care about the missed sales of their current consumer base or people in the industry. A lot of marketing firms base products on potential...

    Ibanez 2019 New Stuff

    The indo AZ's arn't good anyway, nor are they cheap, people are making out like they are affordable alternative when they are not. Why on earth would someone buy an indo AZ over a RG652/657 when they are only a few hundred apart? The Prestige AZ's arn't like double the indo prices either, around...

    NGD: Is it mean? Is it green? Oh yes it is - Ibanez RGR5220M !

    Dude congrats, these are so awesome. Hows the fret work? How are you finding the satin finish? I'm tempted by these if the fretwork and overall QC is 10/10.

    Does Greta Van Fleet bother you...

    When i first saw them a few weeks ago I couldn't stop laughing at how cheesy they are and what they were wearing, its like they were doing a bio movie scene from a Zep movie. I didn't even really get into Zep as they were before my time a little but even I can see the blatant copying, they don't...

    Even more reason for them not to have a sig lol. Seems like its more important these days to be seen with the cool trendy gear in your IG posts then it is about actually caring about he quality of the gear you are playing.

    Jet City Amplification JCA50H for metal?

    I had this amp and I would not recommend it for most metal. Its a decent rock amp and thats it really. It has a really mushy low end, even with an OD in front I was never happy with mine, tried speakers, tubes etc no change. They are killer amps but more 80's rock Vai type smooth type gain...

    Ibanez 2019 New Stuff

    Its not about jealousy, whats to be jealous about? I would rather have a bunch of LAC's then an indo sig. None of the guys who have gotten indo sigs in the past have ever used them, Marco barely used his, always used his other Ibanez RG's, Kiko never ever used his indo sigs, vai was spotted once...

    Ibanez 2019 New Stuff

    Are you the same guy spurting this crap last time? There is a reason players like Petrucci, Morse, Kiko, Paul Gilbert etc all have their middle pickups wound low, you hit it when you pick, especially if you play hard. Has nothing to do with "proper technique". Just watch some of Troy Grady's...

    Ibanez 2019 New Stuff

    Its the later of course lol. Can't be taken seriously on the tube or gram without the current trend gear. So what about all the videos and posts on them playing EBMM guitars? Or did they take them down? The vid they did with Jason with only EBMM guitars. They had heaps of posts with them. Yes...

    Ibanez 2019 New Stuff

    With Petrucci it seemed like they didn't care, he wanted something changed on the guitar and they were basically like yeah no. Seemed pretty clear cut he wasn't getting what he wanted in the guitar and Ibanez weren't on the same page to what he was "worth" as an artist on their roster. "brand...
