Ibanez RG550 40th anniversary edition! The striking red / yellow finish and matching headstock is the ultimate 80s superstrat! Personally, I'm gassing for the red one.
Which Ibby to get?

Well, it'll probably get some playtime... But not as much.:mrgreen: It's the piece to occasionally take out to whack once in a while.
And in the bigger scheme of things, it's really not that much damage...:twisted:

Not really. I actually almost bought this when I was in Japan in dec. But it's this, or a EBMM Silo 20th... Guess which one won?:twisted:
But this one comes in 3 colours. Orange, Black, and Red. The Orange one is the nicest... (Or was it orangeburst?
)

Then again, its nice to have varied guitar bodies for different sort of sounds. Unless you're dead sure you like a certain body... (for me, its strat like)
Though I don't see anything wrong with trying something new...

I find the RG body a fair bit thicker and 'clumsier' feeling than a regular strat, but perhaps its because the RG I took care off for a short period of time had a mahogany body and neck. Heavy! :mrgreen:
But the playability is awesome, and the neck is really as fast as it claims to be.

The key reason why I didn't buy this was the sound. It was like screwing a dead fish. No matter what I did, I could not get a good response from the guitar. And it's not just one piece either! It's every one I tried in the store. I dunno why. The RG550 my friend bought at the same store responded much nicer.
And the EBMM? Well, that one just screamed... And it's got the LOWEST pickup output of all...:mrgreen:
