    Copy cat :(

    I suggest you buy it and give it to me :D

    It's €1024 or so including Vat and delivery. Does Ishibashi include hard cases?

    Dunno. I'm not too bothered about cases. I want a kick ass guitar with a trem. I'm thinking back 10 years ago, a Japanese fellow I knew called Joe Goose had a Jem which was really quite ****ing sexual to play, so I'm thinking Ibanez RG.

    Ehhhh... when?

    You didn't give me this link either ;)

    The ZR looks like a cross between a Floyd and a Kahler Flyer trem (which I loved).

    You want to move to a higher caliber of beer than Dutch Gold, my friend. Dutch Gold only brings pain.

    I'm poor. I just spent €600 on gear that I have to find money for. 6 cans for €7. **** it, it gets me drunk. Although Aldi are doing Stella Artois, 10 for €10 :D

    i thought stella artois was meant to be "reassuringly expensive" not "cheap as wino p!ss" :confused:

    Looks like a decent guitar Doc, i've never been keen on those ibanez 'horns' myself, but i'm sure she plays beautifully.

    Meh, it's just nice enough beer that they're selling for a decent price :D

    Better than Dutch Gold.

    I like the Ibanez horns tbh.

    So... The Doc is becoming a guitarist!? :eek:

    Whatever next, active pickups?

    Naw, good stuff Doc, and it's quite a swish guitar if I might say so myself.

    You can have a guitar for every tuning you can imagine, plus a guitar with different trems, stop bars, neck construction, pickups.

    Ah, you get the picture.

    'tis very true. I've got my main guitar, the Virgin which has a Floyd Rose, but it's an absolute **** for alternate tunings, so I've got my Mockingbird with it's fixed bridge handy anytime I want to tune down to a D and lash out some DEATH!!

    The need for an array of different guitars is always there. :D

    It's supposed to be cheap, that's the joke behind the ads.

    Was playing a friend's Ibanez the other day, not sure but I think it was a similar model, I say go for it.

    I'm an RG owner myself. The only regret I have is that mine isn't a higher range model. They're lovely guitars. comfortable and fast as hell. It'll do anything for you, so long as it rocks! :D

    I don't have a guitar with a good trem.

    Plus, I like guitars, so I figure I ought to buy another one. Just keep it under your hat for a while though, I'll have to sell the idea to the missus first ;)

    Meh, it's all just thoughts at the moment. They don't seem to have RG's with the ZR trem. I like Ibanez, there's a lot of clever stuff going on with their guitars when you dig below the surface, they continually refine and improve their designs, especially hardware-wise, so I'm looking at them for the moment, rather than ESP or Jackson etc. It's been a while since I really looked into getting a guitar and Karl H's musings got me thinking

    Hmmmmmmm...
