ibanez has the following ash bodied guitars:
RGT220A (available @ swee lee, review @ SOFT database)
SA160AH (not available in S'pore...)
eh the JEM JR isnt that bad ok! after modifications la
i bought it for $560 due to its looks (was n00b when i bought dunno how to buy :lol: ) but then its playability is great! the neck is thin and smooth, the frets are great, the basswood is great too. but only the bridge sux, the pups are that bad but if upgrade even better
so now i have a gotoh trem and a TZ in neck and DS in bridge. it's a mean machine now! :twisted:

alder tends to be a brighter wood, whereas mahogany tends to be more tone neutral.
Edit: my single sentence tends to be a bit oversimplified, so here's a link with a more detailed description.

Why, bro? Why are you so aggro these days, bro?
Hey Edder...
Really, you have been getting very worked up other this matter abt ppl not doing their research but rather giving comments/advice based on hearsay.
Even if you were to do a search online, and find the required articles, you still will not be able to get as accurate a description of the difference in tone among different woods. Reason being tone is just relative and personal. Words cannot and will not convery the facts as well as you would like to have it do... they will only give a vauge description.
Then if you were to have immense experience with tone woods, what you hear as eg. more pronouced midrange, to another, he might say slightly middy... and you are back to square 1.
Anyway, I'm sure you know all the above...
Thing is... we don't have the good fortune of being able to look thru countless pedals, know the schematics of various pedals and gain the amount of knowledge that you have. Hence we rely on what we hear or read. We really need ppl like you to correct us and guide us along should we post erroneous info... on the other hand, you gotta chill man... i can see your impatience seeping thru your words.. hell, you even leave the other thread where we were in mid discussion abt ts808 and their "tone sucking" attributes.
I hope i'm not sounding angry or anything... but truth be told... ppl of your calibre arent around the forums often... and laymen/newbies want to know answers... so those who have read up or heard things on relavant subjects will try to chip in to the best of their abilities. Granted, there are those who don't do enough research or just assume things (like me)...but isn't that how an open forum works?
Its good that you are still here commenting and giving reliable info.. but you got to chill man. Getting fed up over this will only make you leave the forums and that would be a lost indeed.
