suggest a guitar (preferably ibanez) for a noob? $500+

Well, to any place for that matter... ;)

Just asking ard before you go lah.... at least there will be someone who know's his stuff before you buy.
 
lol i actually wanted to get sa260 la its very nice to use but too bad la some #$##$#*&$# stole it away during the sale. me too man i am a noob looking for electric. i want a trem too
 
I started with a trem bridge. A Floyd Rose trem at that too. Took me 5 hours to restring and retune on my first attempt.

Then I put in the effort to find out how to do it and I learnt.

Now it takes me 15mins to change strings, tune up, lock. Done.

Personally, I love the Floyd... I can't do without it! I love being able to do all those tricks, and I love the added dimension it gives to playing.

Like what many recommend too, if you are into guitar wizardry, why not take the floyd? Otherwise, if you intend to play different stuff, leave it alone. Having a floyd doesn't make you a better player, it justs gives you more excuses to exercise a greater range of technics.
 
I am using sz320. It is made of mahogany, have 22 frets, set neck, 2 vol and 1 tone control, 3 way switch, pickups are duncan/ibanez.

It is not too heavy for me but it may be heavy for u.... definitely lighter than Lp. It has nice fat sound and can produce very good overdrives tone... the default pickups are good enough for a beginner like me... the construction is good. My version of the guitar is the lacquer black so it may not feels like raw wood (some people prefer that). It has a good bridge that can accomodate thicker strings and down tunning. The only set back I face is the frets seems to dry up fast...

U have to take ur time and test it out or hear it... go try it out too... there is a "feel" factor to it...
 
It look similar to me too but upon close scrutinising, the bridge looks diff... I think the ibanez one is better in terms of adjusting to thicker guage...

Well, wood has nothing to do with sustain.. unless you are using plywood. A well setup guitar is the key.

my SZ320 (above) is a lesson on simplicity & tone. the SZ will please those who are after no frills & a total dedication to playing & improving- it's a no-nonsense guitar.

it prompted me to acquire the Prestige version (below) which is a really good thing that crossed my path.

both versions are a little hefty if you are very concerned on weight, i did mention the GIO version which is much lighter but features a bolt-on construction instead, so the upper fret access is less immaculate.

No offence but getting a guitar for the first time is always a risk ... You should just get the one that your heart tells you too ... We can only guide you so much ... This thread is getting very long over the same topics being argued, i think you should have an idea of what to buy by now bling.

definitely. but the more important thing to consider is whether you are comfortable playing it/ whether it sounds acceptable to you. remember, it's gonna help you learn, so if it doesn't feel good to you & sounds repulsive, it's not gonna help...
