Ibanez USA

I was looking for deals on Jacksons one day and came across these .

Look for the Leopard skin at the top and the Snakeskin towards the bottom.Tommy is a cool guy and gave me a deal on both of them.I am waiting for tax money to finish paying for them.

Anyhow,if I ever played these models,it was a long time ago.What should I expect?I have never been an Ibanez fan,but these really caught my eye.I know the whole story that theses probably are not really "American Made",but anybody have any experience with them?

USRCG - USA Custom Graphic - I had one a while back, they were assembled by H&S guitars in USA. The parts were shipped from Ibanez Japan to be finished here. Basically a nicely painted rg560. Nice guitars for sure...

Thanks.He said that they got them from a store that closed near them.I guess the owner was a total jagoff.These were never sold and are near mint.He said he had a 78 or 79 Ibanez that was never sold before,and some Gibsons from the 50's.Not LP's but still.They may be on the list.I'll have to look.
The burgers don't look too shabby either.

I have actually been in this store. I thought it was a very small guitar selection until I was told there was more in the back. I checked the place out because they are the only place in Illinoise that carries Dillion guitars and I wanted to check one out. The guitars in the front are handcuffed to the wall! The check was just as nice as some of the guitars.

MountainDog-How are the PU's?I hope it has big frets and plays remotely close to a Jackson.

Rich-How was the food?Tommy said he would buy me lunch if I ever take the trip out.MapQuest says about 8 hrs on the nose.My friends want to party in Chicago,so you never know.

Sorry didn't eat anything, I was just checking out the guitars. Lock your doors!

It's been a while since I've played it, but construction and hardware and quality is 1st rate, kinda equivalent to the current Prestige line. Can't remember what the pickups are, but it sounds great. Frets and neck shape are close enough to Jackson so you should feel at home on it.

Didnt know Indonesia declared its independence from our solar system: "Worldwide shipping, no Indonesia"

American Master Series and the USRG series were the best US Ibanez guitars.........
