I use to only play Ibanez and have owned an Axis and an Axis Supersport. I now have a Parker Fly Mojo Flame and a Fly Classic Vibrato, for what that's worth. Now I really struggle to gig with anything heavier than a paperweight  :lol:  :oops:

Superb guitars, though admittedly I've changed the pickups in both - if you want to put BKPs in it, it's a nuisance, though completely manageable.

Out of the choices, it would be a musicman EVH or Axis every time. I've had half a dozen EBMM and they were all fantastic.

I'd say the parker - they are fantastic guitars with a great neck, light weight and a distinctive sound! (think Martone)

I didn't go for the Ibanez because i think they feel somewhat tacky and i don't like Floyd Roses (restringing etc is no fun at all) and the EVH annoys me because you can only push the whammy bar down and not pull up.

However the necks on the Music Mans i tried were amazing!

That's pure Danelectro, that finish.

Needless to say, I love it.

You'd have a bloody palaver getting one to the uk, well, you could buy it in the US and get it shipped over.

But SOund Technology are not really on the ball when it comes to anything from the custom shop - also, the second Fly I bought, they lost  :roll:

Hell, the last time I saw rep from ST he was asking me to tell him all about their guitars  :lol:

The beauty of it is, it's not a custom shop. A seller called grandcentralmusic (which I assume is a shop) on eBay sells flys with a load of different colours. This one is about $2300 IIRC.

I'd be all over that if my money wasn't tied up elsewhere!

I took the step and put my Lester on Evilbay. I will check back in when I have some cash to spend to make my final decision!

I'd try and find an Ibanez JS1.
