Members THEE HAMMER Posted October 3, 2010 Members Share Posted October 3, 2010 For the last 2 years the S series prestiges have been 24 fret. Sorry about that. Brain lapse. And personally even though it only has 22 frets I'd take a s540 over a s5470 any day. The sv that came out in 07 was a beautiful model. But rg>s for shred. Not for chunk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members eudaimonia02912 Posted October 3, 2010 Members Share Posted October 3, 2010 IMO, the JP6 rules them all, at least, rules over all the other guitars I've tried. The higher end Ibanezes are nice, but they don't compare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bish0p34 Posted October 3, 2010 Members Share Posted October 3, 2010 It really depends.... Do yo want it to look like the ultimate shred guitar or be the ultimate shred guitar? I mean, Paul Gilbert can shred on anything, Yngwie uses a Strat, and Greg Howe has used Strats and currently a Laguna....Honestly, the best and fastest neck I've ever played on is from my Parker Nitefly. Literally, it's like greased lightening. Truly, you may not like the looks, but you probably can't find a faster playing guitar anywhere. Yngwie also uses Les Pauls in he studio, thus reinforcing the fact that you can shread on any guitar you want. I have a s540fm, and I love it. It's a real fun neck to play. Still, I love my old BC Riches the best for their necks. Raw, and shaped like a Strat...sort of like an old friend, who's glad to see you . Play them all, and you'll find the one that suits you most.

Members angusjohnftw Posted October 3, 2010 Members Share Posted October 3, 2010 I quite liked the design difference in the s having 22 frets. I find it weird them having 24 now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not for chunk The 2010 model S5470s have the super wizard neck so I would take one of those over a standard RG for shred. Plus the S bodies are SUPER comfortable.

Members THEE HAMMER Posted October 3, 2010 Members Share Posted October 3, 2010 The 2010 model S5470s have the super wizard neck so I would take one of those over a standard RG for shred. Plus the S bodies are SUPER comfortable. Have had dozens of both models, and in my original post i said MOST s series have 22 frets, not all. The RG is the quintessential shred guitar to me whereas I view the S series as a chunkier/darker alternative due primarily to construction. The original 5 series Rg's and S's have the exact same necks/trems/etc. For shred in the Ibanez camp you can't go wrong on most Japanese models however the fastest Ibanez neck I've ever played was a 1990 rg770 in pink that I bought and sold to Arkohor's last year. it was dead mint and probably the finest example of an rg i've owned. Over 3120's, 550's, PGM, Jems, Jpms, Voyagers etc. etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
