I've been playing for 20 years now. I played the same 1989 RG570 for nearly half that time. I switched to Jacksons, but am now wanting to switch back to Ibanez. Having played both Jacksons and Ibanezes I love both guitars, however, there are some disparities in Ibanez's favor.

I'M IN THE MARKET TO BUY A FAIRLY PRICED IBANEZ GUITAR. So if you've got one to sell, I'm a potential buyer

My musical influences are too numerous to mention. Some of them are (not in any particular order) Yngwie Malmsteen, Steve Vai, Joe Satriani, Tony MacAlpine, Paul Gilbert, George Lynch, Vinnie Moore. I would say those are my main influences. I love to play in minor modes simply because its darkness is so suitable for Metal, but my songwriting doesn't reflect that. I play like that when I'm just having fun and enjoying myself.

My "rig" (if you want to call it that) is mainly a Mesa Recto set on Vintage because I like the richer high gain sound with lots of the mids preserved (I despise the "nu-metal" sound), and 2 or 3 Boss pedals. I am extremely pleased with Boss effects. I don't go for many sounds. I just want my high gain sound, a moderate gain for dirty blues and a clean. I love the Mesa rectifier sound but at times when I don't own a Mesa I just want a good quality tube head and I can put a Boss overdrive pedal in front of it. I'm not big into effects. I'm happy with just a little slap back echo, some reverb for depthy and maybe chorus at times with the modulation set to make my high notes wail.

I like Seymour Duncans (JB+Jazz/JB+59) when playing guitars made with "tone wood" such as Mahogany. I am currently interested in making a shift to Dimarzios..possibly Air Norton+Tone Zone..I'm looking forward to communicating with you all about that.

I'm new here and I hope to be a regular.

Hello everybod, my name is avi and I'm 35. I've been using jemsite as a source of information for a while now and hope I can contribute something back from my experience as a player for 17 years now. I play mostly on fender guitars but I do agree that steve vai is the jimi hendrix of our time.
I used to own a desert yellow jem but sold it after a while. I'm probably gonna get me another one sometimes in the near future.
I'm from israel.

hello everybody, I'm not an Ibanez owners, but I love this brand and i'll ending with one of their axes someday.
I wish i have a Js and RG550DY (so cool).
I listen very different style of music, but mainly Rock(60 to 90), (no modern metal), I've been listen to jazz for a long time, but I'm more in a rocky mood

I'm a somewhat poor player, but i can't help it i love guitar

I own a destroyed Epi Lespaul custom that needs new nut, tuners and a good fret job, and a RGX420s Yamaha very good for the price I think.
I played for more than ten years and for almost two years I ve been playing on a ad30vt Vox that i'm in love with lol.
I want to thank who go out of their way to help person, giving this site a lot of ressources and help even for not Ibanez owners.

AlexMB · #**500** 06-06-2006, 09:59 AM

Hi,
I'm Alex, from Barcelona, Spain, 28 years old. I have been playing for about ten years, but not much seriously in the last 7 or so... (studies...) Recently I have picked it up again and prectising a lot.
I wish I would be able to learn all that stuff about scales and modes, and to keep in mind the harmony of what's going on in the back when I solo. For the moment I do it all by ear...
My gear is a
-Old valvestate Marshall 80W
-POD xt live
-Yamaha RGX421
-Ibanez RG770fm (just bought this weekend... incredible!)
-A bunch of cables

I listen to anything from blues-jazz-rock-metal... even some chillout, but mainly play rock-hard rock-metal.
My recent discovery is Freak Kitchen. These guys are amazing!

Cheers.

Welcome to Jemsite!

That sounds like a rather nice rig you've got there. How about some pictures?

My name is Tony I have been searching this site from time to time since I started playing about eight years ago. I have a Jem 10th #206 (recently acquired) and a Jem 555 modded with emgs and a lo pro trem all running through a Hughes and Kettner WARP half stack. Being replaced shortly with an ENGL Powerball and a Custom Cab. I am lead guitarist for a band called Dropfuse we are located out of Camp Lejeune, North Carolina. We are all Active Duty Marines. Hopefully you'll hear of us from someone other than me.

Hey everyone, my name is Dave. I've browsed the site a couple of times looking at some of the various Ibanez information on it, but never really paid much attention to the forums. So I thought I'd join up as I'm always looking for more folks to talk about music/guitars with. And given that I'm a bit of an Ibanez freak, I thought this would be a good place for me.

Here's a picture of my Ibanez collection:

Left to right:

- 1992 RG550 - That's a custom paint job I did, obvously not a real DY. This one now has EMG 81/SA/60 pickups in it and is my main guitar at the moment.
- 1997 RG270 - Nothing on this guitar is original at this point beyond the body and its paint job. It's had like four different sets of pickups, three trems, two necks, etc.
- 2002 Jem 7VSBL - Dead stock (an extreme rarity for me)
- 2000 (?) RG320 - Retrofitted with an Edge trem and matching cosmo chrome hardware, this one sadly has no pickups at the moment. Still deciding what to do next with it.
- 1993 RT452 - Stock beyond replaced control knobs.
- Unknown year RG520 with an RG270 neck - Here's where the original neck from my 270 ended up. This one has a fabric-topped finish that I did myself and a set of Duncan JB/Jazz pickups.
- 1999 (?) RG7620 - My newest guitar, assembled from a seperate body, neck and Edge-7 purchased on ****. I may re-finish it some day with another fabric-topped job, but the black finish on it is actually in decent shape so I'm undecided.

I have a handful of other guitars and basses, though few are particularly interesting. I play guitar purely for my own enjoyment, doing bedroom-based recordings of cover tunes on a computer. I've been playing for about 14 years now, though I only started really growing my guitar collection within the last 5 or so. The RG270 is my only Ibanez that was purchased brand new and it was only my second guitar at the time.

As implied by the descriptions above, I do a lot of building, wiring and general customization on my guitars and often find that to be almost as much fine as playing the darn things.

CliveM · #**509** 06-13-2006, 12:38 PM

Hi,
Name's Clive (stating the obvious maybe?). I'm currently building my own Iceman and installing an Edge lo pro trem' system but can't find a template to route out the cavity. Anyone out there with any ideas? The ones on Ibanezrules are not right for the lo pro.
Cheers,
