So nice, I love that finish

It's a great looking guitar, but I have a noob-type question since I only play guitars with a H-H pick-up configuration; this might sound silly, but where do you pick the strings when you play? Above the single coil or below? I played one, or tried to, recently at a music shop and found it difficult to 'realign' my picking hand (and therefore my entire arm). Before-hand the clerk asked me not to scratch the single-coil with the pick. Does that mean people pick right over the single-coil on a guitar with this type of pick-up configuration?

Thanks in advance.

WOW Matching Headstock!!??!?
Since when did they start doing this? It looks even more AMAZING with that matching headstock.

I don't think the pickup configuration has much to do with where you should or shouldn't pick. If you move your picking hand forwards or backwards over the pickups, you should notice a change in the tone. Just grabbing my guitar, I noticed that I naturally place my pick between the bridge humbucker and the single coil. I am not professionally trained, so my technique is lacking. YMMV

The real question is why did they STOP doing this? They don't make them with the color matched headstock any more. Don't know why, but I am sure it has something to do with efficiency in production. (that's a nice way of saying they're being cheap)

The matching headstock was taken out prior to Winter NAMM '05. I prefer it without the matching headstock though. It's still very nice, though.

Oww... thats just sad. I'd prefer EVERY guitar with a matching headstock though. Talk about Ibanez's cost saving moves...

Awesome guitar. Have to get one of these before they get rid of them I expect after NAMM this winter.
