I ordered an Ibanez RG1570 from Rich (http://www.ibanezrules.com for those that don't know) last week. He's still waiting for a delivery from Ibanez so in the meantime I'll just twiddle my thumbs patiently! I bought my last electric guitar about 16 years ago - a Washburn MG-34 (same colour as this one http://www.daddys.com/detail.php?itemTitle=washburn-mg-34&itemNumber=WAS0301). I bought my first electric guitar about 21 years ago - an Aria Pro II (something like this http://www.wikizic.org/Aria-Pro-II-Mega-Metal-Series/gallery-1.htm). So I keep my guitars a long time but these days I only play at home as I'm not a good guitarist by any stretch of the imagination. I'm very excited, so hurry up Ibanez! :)

I only got to play mine for 3 days before I came to visit my sister in South Carolina, and I've been thinking about it ever since lol. I've only been able to play a Schecter Omen 6 since I've been down here, and as you can imagine it just doesn't even compare to that shiny ibby.


Luckily though we'll be reunited on Monday at 4:00pm.....

rosewood hides the wear/grime
maples can't
if the maple has urethane on it it can be pretty rappy as the finish wears off and the dirt builds up simultaniusly.
not much you can realy do to stop it.
cleaning just accelerates it
still I love my maple neck
but yes, more maintainence

Not so easily obtained here. I want one that hasn't been hanging in a shop for months and hasn't been played by lots of people. There aren't that many stores here and they said they'd have to order one anyway.... And yes it's hard to be patient!

Sorry, but you are arguing. Not only will a local tech not even get close the the extent of the work done at the level he bought, but he could also have had it for WAY less if he wanted it flipped [inspection only], and don't discount that level, because currently my rejection rate is at 18%. Want to guess what GC's rejection rate is? I'll answer just for the helluvit. ZERO.

Add to it at Silver he gets MY full warranty coverage, and any purchase level gets tech support for life. Customers are loyal for a reason.

Not that this was supposed to be this long a wait, those guitars should have been in 3 weeks ago.

Shipping not included, but warranty is..... It's also actually been physically inspected and passed, which nothing from GC is [even though it might pass]. Nothing AS IS ever goes out at that level anyway, really. I do enough to make sure your first impression is one in which you love it instantly.

Know where all the neck joint crack guitars, bad necks, etc I return go? And they go there because they know nothing will ever be inspected or returned.
