...used to hate IBANEZ's... until NOW!!!...

[jwoods986]

Actually, I've gone the opposite direction. I used to love Ibanez, until now......

I was in high school when the Jems, RGs, 540 series, etc., came out and loved them (I even still have a '88 catalog). But as I played various models, either from friends or at stores, I realized that what I liked were the looks and maybe the features. I tried everything - Jems, RG550s, 540Rs/Ss, and even a UV77MC when they were new (fall '90 at Chuck Levin's). But I still liked my Model 6 better. I never ended up buying an Ibanez and stopped playing around '92. When I picked it up again in '02, I kinda went on a GAS-spree over the next couple years and bought various guitars that I always wanted in H.S. but couldn't afford. Including a couple Ibzs. I wanted to try the 7-string thing, so I got a RG7420. And I still wanted a Jem, so I tried a 7VBSL and later a 7VWH. I have none of them now. They just don't work for me and now I just look at them and appreciate them but don't GAS over them.

Exhibit #1:




Headstock, control layout, flame top, binding, string-thru body design......in terms of looks I think the Schecter blows the Ibanez away...I played the Schecter years ago it was a nice guitar, haven't played the Ibanez though.

Soone to be known on ebay as "pre Schecter lawsuit"? lol

I've had plenty'o Ibanez guitars. I currently have an Iceman IC500BK and an RG7621....I like both of those guitars....especially the Iceman. I just haven't been much into the 7-string thing lately, so the 7621 hasn't seen much play time.

This came out before all of them, Heartfield by Fender Elan II. Arch top Strat with set neck.

I am only joking ... as always !!! Very nice guitar !!!

Wow...a total Schecter rip-off....

Ibanez was building guitars like this long before Schecter completely changed their operation from Fender copies into what they are today.

This came out before all of them, Heartfield by Fender Elan II. Arch top Strat with set neck.

And this came out before the Heartfield. Look familiar?

[quiksilver]

I was anti-Ibanez for years. My 7VWH completely changed my views, and I'm now up to 4 Ibanezes. Some of their guitars are really excellent, IMO.

[Jackson-Charvel]

Quicksilver try some of their early 80's guitars and even older late 70's guitars. They made their claim to fame by making the best copies of the US powerhouses Fender and Gibson, and they did it so well..... well you know the story.
