Re: iron label or premiun? If I was in the market for a new 6-string and lived in the Philippines I'd be looking at a 520D. Hell I might even import one if I can't shake off this gas. http://www.ibanez.co.jp/products/eg_...1&series_id=72 |

Just my opinion. |

Re: iron label or premiun? EMG's and the Dimarzio in Iron Label are realy focused around a High gain "metal" tone. I think you might get a more versatile tone with a Premium. Even more if you can install a split coil system in there. |

Re: iron label or premiun? See if you can try both out and get what you like. I would personally go premium. Black/white and active pickups bore me. |

The fixed bridge S with the Dimarzios for $700 is probably the best deal I've seen from Ibanez in a while. It makes an old RG guy like me even consider getting an S.
Otherwise I'm willing to bet the same difference in quality between regular Indo and Premiums exist in the Iron Label to Premium comparison. if you you where to pick between the two which one will you choose sir? |
