Could there be anything better?
-
If it had an Edge trem, I would have bought one before I got my Baretta....
-
I'm still trying to decide if it's better with trem or not. I think i like it without it though because it makes it so simple that way. Just pure rock.
-
I want it, I just don't need it :( It's a cool guitar for a great price.
-
add a khaler and it would be a metal beast worthy of Slayer riffage
-
Ima go play it at Coda Music soon, hopefully it's cr@p and i hate it so i won't have to buy it :P

lmao, you're fooling nobody CJ - you're going home with that baby.
I'm gasing for a trem axe for mental riffage, seriously considering a Khaler on my Explorer.
-
Saw this axe in my local, it does look very nice it has to be said, and for someone like me who only needs a pup and a volume knob it's perfect. Just simple rocking goodness! :D
-
Not my kind of thing of course, but the simplicity is attractive. Which is more than can be said about those inlays :| - plain unmarked rosewood (or ebony) would look a lot better.
-
I played one recently for a mate how hates trying guitars in shops, but trusts my judgment. God knows why I love Les Pauls and he Loves wide flat necks. Anyway thats beside the point.
It's a great playing guitar, I found the pickup to be uber bland though, lacking in character and very over compressed and not in a nice Painkiller/Nailbomb way. buy it stick a nice pickup in it and convert the kill switch to a coilt tab and your onto a winner :D
-
Very cool.
I always loved the look of reverse Ibanez headstocks!
To satisfy that craving, I would rather get one of these than a Gilbert signature.
-
not quite my taste, but the spec is great isn't it? cool guitar.
-
There was a kid playing one when I was in a shop yesterday. If trivium/killswitch is your kinda thing, seemed like it could do it well.
-
Change the body for alder.
Change the fingerboard for an Ebony or Maple one, with sharktooths.

Haha, i'll try and hold myself back unless it is truely amazing.
Explorer with a Kahler sounds like a great idea!
-
I don't have Ibanez GAS.. but I do have an RG prestige.. which might be something to do with it..

great for the price, don't get me wrong... but...
single pickup? basswood body? rosewood fingerboard? not a fan =/
-
I had a RG made in Japan. It just was not for me. You should try it thoroughly first, the neck is superflat and thin and it has huge jumbo frets. That was just not for my hand.
One pickup is also not a good idea, in fact I love the 3-pickup setup (H-S-H). It's just so much more options and the middle single coil is surprisingly fun IMO.

Haha, i already have an Ibanez RG though that is made in Japan (i think this 1 pickup one is a korean one) it's got HSH and i love the feel of it, that's why i was thinking of buying this because i love the feel of an RG and i can get a lot of great sounds from it.
If i did get this 1 pickup RG i would probably fit a coil tap to the pickup so i could get some better cleans and more sounds. But tbh i think you're missing the point, you don't buy a 1 pickup guitar if you want loads of sounds, there's a reason why it's 1 pickup, so you can do some straight out rockin :P
-
You can't tap it, you'd need to change the pickup. I believe the only actives you can split are the EMG 89 and their new 81-TW.
-
Really?
Well that sucks, i'd have to BKP it then if wanted to tap it.
-
It's something to do with the construction. The EMGs are in fact a squashed humbucker and a single in the same housing, so you don't really tap, you switch pickups.
-
I'm still gasing for it, doesn't help that i've just had a birthday and have some spare cash lying around :x
