The S series of the ones you picked, but I love the Iceman and 2nd version of the Destroyer more. :D

Like the body feel from my S's, but find the necks slightly more narrow than my RGs. Toss up!

Man it sucks that so many of you guys live in the USA and will therefore never get to try the comfiest ibanez out of all of them - the SA series. They are like the S series but a little bit thicker. They're ridiculously sexy and comfy.

After that I'd go with RGA.

I really like the looks of the RGD but have yet to find one i can play on.

But what about the SCA, S Classics? I really liked the 220. Played like butter. Needed better pups of coarse

i find the RGA looks the sexiest to me, but the rg is the most comfortable because of the forearm contour. was really hoping i wouldn't notice it when i tried an RGA prestige at guitar center, but i did. haven't played an RGD yet.

The rg is the ultimate refinement of The most comfortable guitar in the world.... the strat. You get deeper contours and larger cutaways.

That said the s feels better standing than sitting. G
I have a carvin h2 with rounded body sides that feels amazing but looks ugly to the majority.

RGD > S > RG > RGA

But to be honest, I just love them all so damn much!

I just wish my RG's didn't sound like shit :realmad:

I have always loved RG's. They are just very comfortable. The S series is OK, but I never feel as comfortable with them.

The RGD looks comfortable, but I dont want another 26.5" scale guitar, so I have never played one.

i have/had a few rg's too, so that would be my second fav.

Of the whole Ibanez lineup, I find the Satriani/Radius shape the most ergonomic. It just snugs to your body and it feels extremely comfortable in terms of balance, forearm support and on your knee when you play sitting.

Sabre's, yet I've never owned one, felt amazing to me.
