Thats right..... just another shameless guitar plug..... I know we have more than a few guitarists on this site.
I FINALLY (after 17 years) found the Ibanez RBM that I've wanted since I was 12 years old. The guy I bought it from on ebay allowed me to buy it early.... for $450.00. Its worth over $1000 (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/beerchug.gif) He didn't know what he had. Nevertheless...... I bought it, and left immediately for England to visit my buddy, and after $10.00 packs of cigs, $8.00 gallons of gas, $50.00 meals at Fridays, and $150.00 a night hotels in the ghetto..... I really depleted my savings. This thing was $1400.00 new..... it was Ibanez' top-of-the-line "Prestige" model.... with all the "fixins" (mohogany body, quilted bubinga top, etc). I've got a lot of people watching it, but no one is bidding yet. I'm hoping for some snipers, but I figure a little extra advertisement cant hurt. Even if you're an old guy (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) and stuck on Gibson and Fender... you've got to appreciate this Ibanez... take a look. Thanks!!

Nope. I gave the repaired remnants of the last pink one to a friend a couple years back.
I used to be in a band sponsored by Miller Geniuine Draft, I got a string endorsement (Ernie Ball), and 3 RG 450s. I would rasp the backs of the neck down another 1/8th inch, and scalloped the fingerboards, very deeply. The necks had a habit of breaking on either side of the luthier's joint. I can still play an RG faster than any other guitar... very slack tension, and super low action. I use a .010 set now, then I used an .008 set. I mostly play acoustic though, and that's a .012 set, so I can smear any .010 set from the high E, all the way off the bass side, starting at about the 5th fret. -heavy lifting- M |
