Agreed on the RG, I love mine! Awesome guitar.Mr Davison wrote:Ibanez. Japanese rg's specifically. Body shape & contours feel like they were custom tailored for me. I'm very picky about which models I like as I'm not a fan of their thinnest necks. Best Floyd's out there according to me but also have a couple of fixed bridge models. Am capable of losing many hours when I pick one up. Feel very confident walking out onto stage with an rg, they've become so familiar to me now I know where every control & note is without even thinking about it. Have given most other brands a fair crack but always end up jamming an rg. An unpopular choice round these parts but it's just how it is! Ibanez rg for the win!!

There are still some that think the neck PU is moved to accommodate the extra frets which only proves they cannot detect the difference in length of each.

Re: Favourite Guitar Company
Ibanez. Most of my GAS was shaped by print ads in Guitar World magazine circa 1990/91, end of my teen years. Satriani, Vai, Gilbert, Beach etc. Couldn’t afford one then. Returning to guitar after a 15+ year break, ooooh, not so expensive. Last 5 years I’ve Molly'd through 30 Ibanezes.
Good times!

I've loved all the rg's I've owned, great guitars, but I'm really a tele guy at heart.

Re: Favourite Guitar Company
The only Ibanez I've ever owned was a PF-30 acoustic with flamed maple sides (probably laminate now I look back, what a big disappointment...). Had a chick drive into the back of my car while it was in the boot, then I had no Ibanez. When they (RG's) were cool to own I couldn't stretch that far, and when I finally had 'real guitar' cash it went on a MIJ Strat that I still own 27 years later...bet I wouldn't still have the RG if I'd gone that way

Re: Favourite Guitar Company
I had an 80s Tokai Strat. At the time considered cheap Japanese meh. Wheels have turned since then and those guitars are somewhat revered now. Not as much as an RG550 though. Those were played by rock stars. With hair!Molly wrote:I'd have had an RG550 about then I suppose. I think everybody did.

Re: Favourite Guitar Company
Unless it followed me over from the UK without my knowledge, probably not. I bought it off the bass player in my band when I was pretending to be a professional musician in London, ended up giving it back to him when the band folded.HappyEnding wrote:I have a 90s Fuljigen RG570.
