Ibanez, USRG, 3120, 3120T etc.

[img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] I thought I'd start a thread in the "Other" topic as the poor guy's request was getting muddied up in the classified.
The questions where about the Ibanez Prestige 3120 in particular and went on to include the 3120T,USRG and others.
I have a few of the guitars in question but I'm no expert. The best place to find stuff on Ibanez is over at
http://www.jemsite.com/
The JFC for Ibanez. I'll try to answer any questions and others can chime in too.
Here's a few pics of my collection:

How do you like that USRG20TP?? I had one and I miss it terribly. It was absolutely my GO TO guitar. It did everything great.

Actually both the Trans purple and the orange (Trans Amber?) are USRG30s. They have bound necks and maching headstock. I LOVE them. they are as close to a Les Paul sounding guitar that you can get and still have a superstrat body and thin neck. It does almost everything well. The neck is dead stable yet thin due to the tension free neck.PBC Guitar built these for a limited time for Ibanez.

Mine was a 1996. It was #69.

Re: Ibanez, USRG, 3120, 3120T etc.

What is the average price of a USRG in excelent shape?

[Donovan]

Re: Ibanez, USRG, 3120, 3120T etc.

Anywhere from about $700 to $1000 for the more rare colors.

Re: Ibanez, USRG, 3120, 3120T etc.

I used to have a USRG30. It was a decent guitar, but the DiMarzios in it kind of blew chunks. Everytime I see USRGs they are marked USED for some reason. I dumped mine because I just didnt like the neck that much, but it was still a cool guitar, and maybe I'll get another one someday but put in EMGs.................

I want one really bad. I kkep checking ebay and jemsite everyday for one, but so far nothing. One in purple would be fantastic.

Re: Ibanez, USRG, 3120, 3120T etc.

You're in luck, as Purple is the most popular color.
The pickups in the guitar are fantastic as long as it's the sound you want [img]/images/graemlins/headbang.gif[/img] That's why there are so many different pickups on the market. [img]/images/graemlins/toast.gif[/img]

Re: Ibanez, USRG, 3120, 3120T etc.

Yeah, but the thing is finding one. What kind of pickups come with them?

Thanks..... Me too [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]
As a side note the EMGs where installed by myself, they're quite the pain in the ass to install into a direct mount setup where the stock pu's are not as thick. I hade to do some serious routing to get them in there.
