Ibanez: Body survey...

[Xypher]

The knobs are really huge looking..

 

[Ized]

love the S-series shape. looks sleek without looking too sharp and radical.

 

[Whitestrat]

i really like the S, but it always comes with floyd... i wish they had fixed-bridged S guitars.. hahaha.

Don't you get that with the SA?

 

[keithC]

thats why i got an SA loving its weight and tone, but it does seem like the SA is thinner than a standard S right? but well i'm not sure if it affects tone that much.. should be swapping out the stock pups soon, thinking of putting 2 phat cats in there!

 

[Ized]

the SA is thicker. I used to have a SA 120.

now using a S470.

 

[subversion]

the new SA120 (latest version featuring the covered humbuckers) features an even thicker body...

anyone tried the new FR model? what's your opinion on the singlecut body?

 

[EugeneSmasher]

SA for me I also like the RG's shape though, but cannot vote twice huh. I own a GSA but not an RG or GRG unfortunately, but I've played my friend's RG321 and loved it lots. But between the two, SA for versatility. I can see myself using an SA for blues all the way to death metal.

 

[subversion]

he he... there are people who use the Telecaster for blues to black metal as well...

 

[EugeneSmasher]

Does Swee Lee bring the FR range in? I'm quite curious to try.:mrgreen: But I have a feeling the price is gonna make me jump out of my socks, the prestige on the headstock already tells me its gonna be many years later that I can afford one, and by then Ibanez might have discontinued it (like it did the SZ. I seriously don't know why they had to discontinue it... At least the new SZR isn't too different.)

Nice to know Ibanez is releasing more hardtail models! Never liked tremolos...

he he... there are people who use the Telecaster for blues to black metal as well...

Haha ever since Fender started releasing H-H Telecasters :mrgreen: I think they're wicked! I'm having trouble deciding between another SA series and a H-H Tele for my next guitar!

Does Swee Lee bring the FR range in?

if you refer to the Ibanez 2008 thread, you'd know

 

[hatecrew]

For me its the S or SZ.

 

[subversion]

it seems that the RG body shape has a strong following...

 

[Hydrofly]

it seems that the RG body shape has a strong following...

can see why, it's light and very shreddable, not the GRGs though. If not because I don't want to play a guitar that's not weirdly shaped, I'd go for one. Hence I use the iceman!

 

[subversion]

people aren't attracted to the light-weight feature per se + not all RGs are lightweight. my RG560 is as heavy as my RG7...

 

[Godspeed64]

it seems that the RG body shape has a strong following...

RGs are so darn sexy! White RGs (350DX) make me drool..
The RG 2550Z looks darn sleek too!
How bout the PGMs? Are those considered RGs too? And the JEM?

 

[subversion]

the PGMs are RG-based.

the JEM gave birth to the RG

 

[KissMyAxe]

Certainly JEM is my favorite. It is light..

 

[Godspeed64]

For the look, Ibanez has it all!
Reversed headstocks, brilliant tree of life inlays, the super strat shape, a floating bridge..
Man, the only thing keeping me away from em are their necks.. I prefer fat, chunky necks.. :???:
