hehe... Phil COLLINS! hehe...

anyway,
the same is here in Italy: ppl hate Ibanez and Japan-made stuff overall, and they only like Fender & Gibson.

look my point is most of the world prefers gibson and fender and other traditional guitar like those from above...

so maybe we ,all of us whom in this forum are kinda blind or def of smth'...

cause it kinda strange that we are about 100 ppl here approx
and the rest of the world are all stupid?
that's my point...

ofcourse it's a matter of taste but still..

I would say that people who like ONLY Fender and Gibson are people that cannot think for themselves. They are just going along with popular opinion. Just about every guitar I've played has it's own vibe and is cool in it's own way. So basicly it's not about people on this forum being right and everyone else being wrong. It's just a fact that many many people are sheep and they simply follow the crowd and regurgitate what they hear others say.

What you need to do is get yourself an Evo, or a TZ for your RG. Then maybe a Kick @ss stack of some kind. Go to your local amateur night and get onstage with someone who is playing a "cool" fender strat (the more vintage the better . Then crank up and blow them off the freakin stage.

And the RG range is a metal/heavy rock guitar.

My friend plays an RG in a punk band and sounds great with it. I play all sorts of stuff with mine, from blues to thrash. Seems pretty versatile to me.

Who cares what anyone says. When I'm talking about my Ibe's, and someone goes "Dude, those are planks of junk. You gotta get yourself a Les Paul. Now that's a real guitar!" I usually sarcastically respond with "Oh crap, you're right. I better sell all my guitars and get Gibsons just because you told me to!"

I'm gonna use that one!

When I think of Ibanez, I think of Shred/ any kind of lead guitar playing. I live in east Tennessee, and I've put up with some crap about my Ibanez's as well. Most people around where are either hard core Gibson, Fender, or Jackson/Charvel/ and or ESP. One Jackson/ESP guy I know actually kinda scoft at my JEM7V when I first got it. Mainly, people are USA made guitars only all the way, around here. Oh well, I dont really care, because I privatly know that my guitars smoke theirs
