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!!
Agreed on the RG, I love mine! Awesome guitar.

There we go.
I love buying something then talking it up. increase the resale and gloat like a bastard at the same time.

Win 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.

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'd have had an RG550 about then I suppose. I think everybody did.

In my circles it was an RG570, which I also once owned.
The older I get, the more disappointed in myself I become.

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

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 :P

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!

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.
