Re: RG350m: better than prestige models?
The 350M is a good axe, but the fretwork is nowhere near that of a prestige or an older MIJ guitar. The INF pickups are also lack a little cut and character under high gain, but are feasably workable since the maple neck helps it cut a little bit since it's so dark sounding.
If it's good for you then hop on it, I love the 350M! But better than a prestige? Nope. Not without reinvesting the entire value of the guitar towards pickups, tremolo, and fretwork. Then you might as well have bought a RG550DYXX reissue.
