finally! Today I bought an JCRG-5. Incredible beauty and so fine to play.
I also picke up an RG-art. Couldn't leave her. I had to buy this one, and so I did.
Give me a few days to enjoy these two pieces of art and after that I will sens y'all some pictures.

Wow. It will be empty when I visit Kees Dee next time, I guess.

Congrats!

[another one to spend his end-of-year bonus wisely?]

Bonus spend wisely?
Are these really instument that will hold their value?
Ik basically bought them because of their tone and playability and looks
The JCRG5 is build incredably stable. Compared to my Strat it feels like a rock, but plays like silk. Compared to an 3120 (which is an incredible instrument for the money) it is even better, mostly due to the neck. I think this will be my daily 'driver'.
The Art is different. I would love to hang it on the wall in the living room, but.....

I suppose they won't hold their value, just like almost any ibanez guitar. *Once it is out of the store, it's used. I wouldn't pay new price for a used guitar, especially on Ibanez guitars. Espcially when you concider the new prices here in Holland. I go to Kees Dee often, his prices are thru the roof, with for example over 800 dollar for a used rg-550, or 3500 dollar for a beat to crap Japanese swirl UV MC. That's way it's been in the store for ages. If you see the prices some people ask for their Ibanez on places like marktplaats, it's just humerous.
