should i get the ibanez S470bk or save some bucks

[savage]

and get the kramer striker?



I want a slim bodied guitar and the two i have my eye on are the ibanez,


or this kramer,

the ibanez is $480 and the kramer is $300
both would need better pups(EMG 81/sa/60)
the ibanez has a better trem i think and is mahogany
the kramer is alder but both are super slim profiles?

I'd go with the Kramer, but you shouldn't be spending $300 when they list for $229.99. I've owned 4 of the YoKramers, and as long as you get a proper setup and change the pickups to something decent, they are great guitars. And unless you're a heavy trem user, the Kramer Floyd should be just fine.

get the ibanez. the kramer is okay, but the ibanez is great. i have an S and i've had the striker. too much needed to be done to the kramer. the ibanez is pretty much it right out of the box.

I'd go for the ibanez. that body shape is so comfortable and they sound good.. even better with the emgs probably

If that has a zero point trem, be warned that some trem options are off limits unless you take of the ZP option. Warbles won't work is what I've heard.

The only Ibanez that I really liked was the Satch model. Good guitars and play nicely, just wasn't my kind of sound.

i like the Kramer better, i never have liked the overall specs on S-series Ibanezes, only their tone...plus, i think i like the Alder better than I would an all mahogany, especially without the maple top...

I'd go for the Ibanez over the Kramer.
