Which hard-tail Ibanez guitar has similar RG470 features? My RG470 is letting me down again, in that the high E and B strings are not staying in tune. This is despite a really good setup by a very good tech, the one who gets $125 for a Floyd setup. I guess I should check the locking nut...

Hello All, Are either of these guitars suitable for a beginner? One of the reasons I am looking at either is that that have quite thin necks. I already have a Gibson Studio, but the neck is too thick and the guitar is way too heavy

I have recently been getting into Shred type stuff and my favorite tone is similar to Paul Gilberts. I currently have a Marshall JCM800 2204 50watt 1982 and an Avatar closed back cab w/ 2 vintage 30's. I use a Carl Martin Plexitone pedal. While I cannot currently afford a new amp, Is...

I am looking at one in the catalog and assumed they were made in Japan. I was wrong. They are made in Indonesia. These necks are called Wizard II but are thicker than the Wizard necks. I just bought another (my second) RG470 and love the neck, but want a fixed bridge for emergency...

I want a fixed bridge model like the RG321, but with a single coil pickup in the middle. I'd love the PGM, but they are either expensive (worth it I am sure) or difficult to find used. I want H S H on a fixed bridge Ibanez RG style guitar. Am I up a creek?

By Fender style I mean like the Ibanez hardtails that are not tuneomatic: RG321 RG2EX2 The current Paul Gilbert model... Benefits as I see them: Tuning stability is same same unless there is something I don't know about. The Fender type can raise individual saddles. TOM cannot. Fender a...

I used to think that all the current 6-string RG necks have the same same measurements at the neck pocket, but apparently this isn't the case. You probably knew it already but anyway, when I found out about the 56 vs. 58mm difference, I tried to figure out if there's any sort of pattern. Like...

RGA new pickups.... F-spaced bridge? normal neck? help I am going to order some new pickups and I was wondering what the RGA needs.... even though it's a fixed bridge model, I'm pretty sure it needs an F-spaced bridge pickup... is that correct? also, should I get a standard spaced pickup for...

After much debate and playing TONS of different guitars, I am ultimately back to Ibanez once again. I really am considering a PGM as my next guitar purchase since it has a similar body shape and pickup selection as the JEM, but with a few fixed-bridge options. I think I'd love a PGM500, but...

What do you all think of this? I have great respect for the instrument. I also realise that this question could flow onto other guitars such as the Les Paul and Strat, but what do you think? I am also prepaired for the onslaught of angry JEM owners :P

Hey guys, I've decided to try and trade this baby; basically, I bought it a short while ago wanting a trem, but have realised once again why I stopped using Floyds in the first place. I just don't really get on with them! So anyway, am after an RGA (at least, I think that's what the fixed bridge...

whats up guys, i havent been on here in a while, but anyway, i was strolling around on one of the korn message boards and came across something in which i dont know whether to believe or not. On some japanese guitar site, some dude found a pic of 2007's k7, titled the k69. It looks crazy in the...

just wanna verify that if im ordering pickups for a hard tail guitar i want standard and not f spaced

Hi Folks, I have major GAS right now, and I am toying with putting one of these pick-ups in the bridge of a mahogany (neck-thru) guitar that I am thinking about buying. I have checked the Duncan for the first time ever, and was disappointed that they don't list the output (in millivolts) or...

So how many new models have stop tail pieces? (excluding the sig models ,Gilbert, Thompson, etc.... After seeing the "reaper" I thought I was up with the times but I guess not.

i really like the pgm 800 and i would loved to at least play one. I wanna find the newer pgm 301 and see if it's really good or not. Paul says it's identical to his.

I'm looking for a RG XL neck without string lock system (like the RG7421XL have). If someone have too a RG7 body (in fixed bridge model like the RG7421XL or execly like RG7CSD2) i would like to deal for my guitar development projet. I would like to know too the diference between the Ibanez RG...

Hello i'm Ardian, I'm from Indonesia I've got Jem77Bfp, and U Know I always wanted an Ibanez Jem 7VWh like Steve Vai, but because the weak of My Country currency the price of that guitar well, become quite expensive too me...(and for everybody in my country) i've got some idea for Ibanez : -...

OK, I've been playing guitar for a bit over year now, and I'm pretty good so I wanted to buy a good quality guitar. I have been looking at the Ibanez RG1570 coz I want a reasonably versetile guitar most suited to hard rock/metal and a lotta soloing. Would you say this is a good guitar to get, or...

Got it on the 'bay for a cool $755! That's quite a deal even for a '99, and it's also signed (3 times). Waiting a week for it to get here will be tough, but I sill have my JS1WH to keep me company...
