Hey I have been playing guitar for about 5 years now and I know I will never stop until I die. I spend a lot of money on my guitars and I don't regret anything.
I own a John Petrucci 6 Music Man(my favorite ), a Gibson Flying V and an Ibanez RG370DX which I am currently modifying.

My Ibanez story goes like this... I purchased a 1987 RG550 for $50 a couple of years ago. An earlier owner had stripped the Flare Red paint off (probably because of road wear or abuse) and stained it instead. A subsequent owner put about 60 stickers all over it! It had no strings so the Floyd Rose was loose in the box and needed springs and whammy bar. The 5-way switch was replaced with a 3-way and the middle pickup removed. I got the stickers off, replaced the middle pickup, installed a 5-way, put on a set of .009s, installed new springs & a Trim Setter and whammy bar and bought a gig bag for it. I was told that this guitar had been through every metal band in Unicoi County so it's has a lot of character and actual road wear (not relic'd). It's a GREAT guitar and plays and sounds GREAT!!
I also bought an used Ibanez Artwood AW100 Acoustic for $100 (barely played) several years back that I play often.
I also own a Telecaster, a Stratocaster, a Peavey TL5 bass guitar, a Guild 12-string acoustic, among other oddities!
My amp is a Crate Palomino V32 for electric and an old 1967-ish Peavey 200 watt bass amp with 18" reverse reflex cabinet!
Life is GOOOOD!

Hi! I'm Mike, been playing about 25 years - since I was 15. Playing has just been a stress-reliever & hobby for probably the last 10 years, but I was asked to join a friend's band about 18 months ago & now I've contracted GAS again (had 22 guitars at one point ). Had a few Ibbys over the years, but found this site a few years ago while digging around for info on a "bag of parts" guitar I picked-up for $50. A friend had his room-mate skip out on him & asked if I wanted to buy this guitar that the room-mate left behind. I've been an ESP guy (currently have 4 of them) for years & just didn't know much about Ibbys (except that the 1981 Destroyer that I used to have was one of the best guitars EVER & I should never have sold it). Unimpressed by the silver guitar in a trash bag & expecting a warped neck, dire need for a fret-job, cheapo LFR, etc., I offered him $50 & thought I'd have a cheap guitar with a Floyd (all my others at that point were fixed-bridge. I got burned-out on the whammy thing in the 80s) for noodling around on & not have to worry about the finish & stuff (this thing is beat-to-hell). So, I slapped it together, rewired everything, and was instantly amazed with the playability . Wondering just what "prestige" was all about, I went on a hunt for info and a few missing parts & landed here. Found out it's a 2002 RG1570, what the "F" in the serial signifies, what an Edge-Pro is, spent $17 on parts, and fell in love with Ibbys. Now I also have a 1999 RG7620VK, and plan on buying my old Destroyer back (or another just like it), and I really want a puzzle-top & probably another RG of some sort (as long as it's blue. Somehow, I've never owned a blue guitar in almost 25 years of playing LOL). I've lurked here on & off for the past few years & finally thought to introduce myself...so "HI!"
