How the hell do you guys play??? I mean, my pick hardly, if at all, goes under the strings. I've never touched a pup with my pick, unless it was on purpose. Didn't you guys learn how to hold a pick? Don't hold it from the top
I talked to the guitar guy in my local shop recently. He told me he doesn't stock prestiges anymore because they don't sell. The only ones you can get are the ones hanging in the showroom.

What shop is this? I think guys willing to spend more usually go to bigger shops with a big selection of guitars interesting to them. Small local shops in my experience have 99% customers buying starter sets or guitars or single strings because they broke one and don't have spares etc. Occasionally the old blues granddad liking strats or Les Pauls might come in but that's it. Meaning the only guitars some local shops can sell in the >750€ range are probably strats and Les Pauls. The Ibanez Prestige guys probably go to one of the few big shops where they can try the whole Prestige lineup ... or order online.
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 with a pink indo Jem at a charity event and thats about it.
I think the reason some are salty about it is its just so half ass'd, like they were rolling out the sigs one after another and just going through their roster or something. None of them look good except the Scott lepage one, I doubt their going to sell a bunch of them at the price they want for them, IMO go all out and do a proper sig or don't bother, consumers don't want to spend that much on a indo sig model when you can get a normal prestige for the same or less.
It's the same with the Jiva sig, apparently she wanted to keep costs down so didn't want a MIJ sig but the irony is her indo sig is still waaaaaaay overpriced anyway.
Please tell me thats the case they come in?
Looks like the RG852 cases which are so pretty
I've only gone to a Justmusic once and their offering was a bit disappointing. They had loads of <500€ guitars and super expensive Fender/Gibsons but their selection of higher quality modern guitars was quite lacking across all brands. Actually I didn't see a single guitar I was really interested in.
First time I hear that name.
Germany is also somewhat the center of the EU geographically. Guess that's also an advantage logistically.
I'm just trying to understand how it's being held to accomplish that. Because, as I said, when I play, so very little of my pick is exposed, to where unless I had the middle pup touching the string, I would not hit it. Rather than bashing, I was more curious and asking about what makes people hit it.
I do, usually, come off as abrasive and rude. Or so my gf tells me
No.
