Ibanez Six6FDFM Blue Space Burst

[Uno Mas]

Has been a while since I have posted. Picked this up today. Extremely light and comfortable to play. Tuned to D Standard, very mid punchy, decent clarity. Coil tap sounds great with crunch tone. Guitar does rhythm and lead very well. So far tuning stability is pretty good, guitar has great set up. Switches and knob very solid and consistent. Wood has a few larger pores here and there and pin striping is a little inconsistent. Little divot on board and divot where neck meets the board closer to the head. Overall great looking guitar, you can never go wrong with a reverse head.

Nice dude. Been looking at the 7 version.

I dunno.. the guitar looks gorgeous, but Ibanez hast this thing to give their guitars weird features.. Like, is that mini toggle the actual pickupselector? And what's up with that giant volume knob?

Nonetheless, HNGD dude!

The mini toggle is coil tap, and the larger toggle is pickup selector.

They need more reverse headstocks!

The mini toggle is coil tap, and the larger toggle is pickup selector.

That's what I thought and what makes no sense to me.. Why not place the pickup selector where the mini toggle is?

 

[Uno Mas]

Yeah, it's kind of a weird layout. I am really happy with how sturdy the controls feel and I like the layout visually.

Thinking about picking up one of these beauties myself. HNGD!

I understand what you mean but it feels fairly intuitive in hand to me. I also really like the volume knob. The pickups sound really good too, especially after how I felt kind of underwhelmed by the 7 string versions. Can't tell whether it's an actual tap or split though.

Congratulations!! As soon as I catch up with my credit card bill, this is my next mistake! LOL!

Screw the layout, why is the pickup selector chrome!?!

An easy "fix", but very baffling.

Franticly looking for the like button.

This is such a thing. That seems to always be the thing with Ibanez, their ideas are good enough to make them massively successful, the foundation of the idea is great, but there's always something about it that leaves you scratching your head asking 'why, though?'

Then there are the times where the stars align and they hit it out of the park and eeeeevvvveryone knows those times, the Universes, the Jems, the 7620s, the RG2228s, the RGA121s, etc.

Update: I have changed strings and the tuning to E flat and have put many hours into the guitar. Bridge pickup has great clarity when the gain is held back but sounds just a tad sterile. Neck pickup sounds a little tinny, would like it to be more warm. Tuning stability is still holding strong. Edge of body is really sharp, cuts into my arm. Extremely fast comfortable neck, though I imagine the guitar might feel a little small to bigger players.
