>$3K... the thing about these Prestige models- the list prices are rather prohibitive.

other worthy guitars
SZR520- discontinued 2009, perhaps one of the better sounding Ibanez (with default pickups) & much ignored. the SZR was the final evolution of the SZ model before it's phased out. be informed it's not the typical, thin-necked Ibanez. in fact, it's quite the contrary; thicker neck profile + gloss finished.
SA260- if you wish for simplicity & the occasional opportunity to whammy (nothing excessive), not to mention, a touch of class; the SA260 is it. the HSS pickup combo means you have tonal variety, even the humbucker could be split to function as a single coil
ART120- a pleasant surprise to me; this guitar sounds very acceptable despite featuring a pair of in-house active pickups

in this case (forgive the pun), you can try generic models by SKBs which are available. do have the guitar handy to see which case best fit the instrument.

i tried that bass the day before the sale- superb! FYI- pink finish is regional exclusive; meaning: released in selected countries only.

Oh.. Wasn't the case when I asked for a quote for a guitar. Maybe the salesman liked me or something. Haha.

yes... that would be the case sometimes, especially if you have clicked with them over the years.

RGA321- available but the bridge a little oxidized... the RGA321 is a superb guitar, pity they don't make these any more. the current RGA range feature Ibanez's in-house active pickups which could have been better...
Yesh! The first gen RGA321 is a SUPERB guitar! Very comfy, fast neck and versatile. I love mine to bits! Too bad they stopped production. I wonder what's going on in their heads.
