Lols...cant really tell you the exact model cos there are too many I wanna compare...for eg the Ibanez RG320DXFM TG and the ESP/LTD H-351FR.

It's best you do some research before relying on the forums for help. a quick search could reveal a lot more than you expect.
IMO if you don't know what you want now, just get the one that sounds better to your ears. no point asking people what do oranges taste like. everyone has a different preference.
take note of the neck dimensions and also try them out to get a rough feel of the guitar as a whole. my advice is, don't try if you have no money to buy. the store keeper will mark you

Basswood is soft, kinda like Alder. Alder is used in making Fenders.
Mahogony is used in making Gibsons. Mahogony is very heavy and gives a very bassy sound. (At least to me)

What's your budget. If you not going for prestige rg models. You're better off with s series or a ltd

yeah, I agree with that statement. at least for the current line of RG models (unless you are referring to the souped up ones like the RGT6EX or something which doesn't lie within the friendly price range anymore)

I heard basswood very easy dent? Saw some guy said in a forum tt if basswood banged into mahogany, the basswood will dent and the mahogany will almost nt sustain and damages...true? And i thought basswood wil give more bassy sound?

both will get damaged cos the finishing will take most of the damage. all wood will get dent if you apply a significant amount of force. If RGs were that brittle, all the RGs made in the 80s would become scrap wood by now.
in any case, softness of the wood has nothing to do with tone.

well, there is a difference
. in terms of tone maybe not much though. prestige guitars are also near the $1k mark so I would rather you save a little more for a more stable trem.

2k-3k LIST price or what? If you're paying the price for a prestige i THINK you can get an ESP or prob an LTD 1000 Series. Cause i doubt a LTD 351FR is the same 'price bracket' as a Prestige

the perpetual misconception: basswood = bassy because there's 'bass' in there right? so rightfully, rosewood should be a rosy type of wood...

Because the amps, pickups and other variables have nothing to do with the sound at all, right?

hmm... Satriani's Ibanez is basswood, he doesn't sound bassy...
tried but i can't hear that bassy signature from Petrucci- his guitar is basswood...
even Paul Gilbert's baswood isn't bassy, in fact, it's crunchy...
so what is going on here? why aren't basswood guitars bassy? grrr....
