    Croatia. Second hand market is really not that great :). No local stuff, so no way of checking out in person which is crucial for buying second hand. Lot's of guitars with tremolo bridges too, i want fixed bridge for simplicity.

    Haha. It's never to late to learn, or at least trying XD. Basically yeah, i'm into simple workhorse guitar that i can learn on. I don't want to buy second hand because second hand markets in smaller countries like mine are consisted of ancient 80s/90s Japanese guitars or newer imports that are...

    Agreed. I even mailed a guy who owns Ibanezrules.com website. He is apparently a reputable Ibanez dealer and his basic answer was that glued on wood is impossible to come off, and that forums are full of misinformations. I dunno what to think now lol XD And you're right, these two models don't...

    If there are some minor fret problems on an otherwise nice guitar i wouldn't be too bothered by it. But apparently Ibanez has some problems with their burls and tops on all models, Iron Label and even Prestige. Apparently all models with thin satin finish are affected. There have been some...

    Yes, it's related to maple fret boards. The guitar that i like, RG652MPBFX has maple fret board + that apparently sensitive poplar burl prone to flaking and splinters. I honestly don't know how wise it is to buy that guitar. I really like how it looks. I suspect minor fret issues would be easy...

    I've been browsing this forum and reading about the Prestige line and i've noticed there have been quite a few complaints about sharp frets on Ibanez fretboards and fragile poplar veneers which seems to flake on rubbing!? Some other stuff, like tool marks on fretboards. Judging by these posts...

    Ibanez 2019 New Stuff

    The Ibanez Prestige i was looking actually has maple fretboard. Should we just avoid maple Ibanez?

    Thanks a bunch everyone. I read everyone's comments thoroughly multiple times. I'm leaning towards Fender brands (Fender/Jackson/Charvel), compound radius seems like too good to miss. And Ibanez RG652. The thing i dislike about Jackson/Charvel is the fact that after Mexican stuff, they go...

    Yeah man. Ibanez just checks all the boxes for me except the questionable neck profile and radius, because it's so divisive. Everything else is just perfect for me. Guitar market sucks here, especially in smaller countries. Also this seems like a good advice. I guess since i'm new i wouldn't...

    Thanks everyone for replying. Currently i'm looking at some LTD models again. I was hoping for some more precise answers but i guess with these things there simply aren't any. Will also check out Solar. Are chords and bluesier stuff harder to play on Wizard necks?

    I wasn't aware that Jim Root Strat wasn't near "real" Fender quality or about mediocre bridge. What's your opinion on Mexican Charvel? These guitars are still around 1000 eur and don't come with hard cases like Ibanez Prestige. I was looking at LTD MH 1000 and the only Korean strat type guitar...

    Sup everyone. I'm a beginner/intermediate guitarist. Want to switch from EPI LP to something else. Grew out of love with LP style. Still love music and this hobby. I love all kinds of music, not just metal. Tried getting some help in other places earlier, hopefully i get more than 1-2 guys...
