Which model? Because I've got a Revenger-7 (basswood, the cheapest 7-string they ever made) and it definitely doesn't feel like plywood.

So you didn't like it because it was light? So what? Lots of high-end Ibanezes are light too.

sorry... i just didn't like it.

if you handed it to me blindfolded i'd say it was a slapped together, korean factory job weighing in at around $350.

frets buzzed, bad action, it felt like ass, i mean ash.

next time i go to guitar center i'll bring a notepad so i can takes notes and hand you my official review.

Look, you don't need to be so hostile about it.

1) Depending on where you tried it, most guitar stores do a terrible terrible job keeping their guitars set up and playing well. I've played high-end Ibanezes that were set up so bad I would have thought exactly what you just said.

2) What's wrong with ash?

Do you guys think that the Schecter Diamond Series guitar endorsees actually play Diamond Series guitars? I kinda doubt it and would think that they're instead playing LA custom shop stuff with the Diamond Series logo...

I think you guys have to agree to disagree, skattabrain clearly did not like the guitar, and there is no point trying to prove him wrong or right. I played a C1 plus at some point and wasn't all that impressed either. I'd still like to check out that chambered C1...

I have no problem with him not liking the guitar. I had a problem with his hostility and elitist attitude.

That's almost a step too far. You made some wild claims (i.e. go against everything I've ever heard/experienced) and I asked why you felt that way, which you supported with more wild claims (i.e. for some reason implying ash is an inferior wood). I never took it personally, I was just informing you that the sort of comments you were making usually don't hold up to well in this forum.
