Members JoshuaLogan Posted February 13, 2008 Author Members Share Posted February 13, 2008 That's awesome. Congrats. Thanks, d00d. Indeed. It'll be really nice having a guitar perfectly suited to me. The EBMM petrucci is a really nice guitar, but there's just something special about getting a more personalized guitar like this... having work done on it getting it setup perfectly... having custom pickups made specifically for you by someone who plays guitar themselves and knows which guitar they'll be going into and what kinds of music I'll be playing with it.... just having it setup all personalized to match my specific tastes.... never had anything like that before, so I'm pretty excited to be getting this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I once ordered a custom ESP and didn't like it. I like their standard models better than their customs. The custom was made to my exact specs and everything but it just wasn't right... so I guess I don't know exactly what I want. Maybe one day I will.

Maybe one day I will. I was actually going to order a custom guitar until I saw that ibanez was doing these 24 fret MIJ versions of the S prestiges for 2008. I've always liked the S's, but avoided getting one for a main guitar because of the 22 frets.... Then I saw these and they're coming with a bunch of the features I wanted in the custom guitar: mahogany body, HSH pickup config, 24 frets, etc. + the fact that I already liked the S series, so I just decided to get this instead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Drago Posted February 13, 2008 Members Share Posted February 13, 2008 I really hope they do the 24 fret S in a prestige 7 string version. I alwyas loved the S series too but was put oiff by the 22frets! Nice guitar man, anyone know what the new bridges are like? I like the fact they have included an intonation tool.

I like the fact they have included an intonation tool. That bridge is the ZR2... basically a smaller, lighter version of the ZR with a few differences... trem bar now has a torque adjustment on it so you to can set the angle you like, and the ZPS system thing on the back has something new about it too i think... I forget what exactly. I think they have the info on the ibanez site now though if you wanna check that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well you can get any sound an HH guitar can get with an HSH guitar plus a bunch more. I wanted the guitar to be really versatile, from full on death metal riffing and smooth shred to warm jazz and strat cleans... So, having a single coil in the middle was important to me.

Members JoshuaLogan Posted February 14, 2008 Author Members Share Posted February 14, 2008 i'll hopefully be getting the 5470SOL if i can ever sell my amps. Noice. I think the SOL finish is kinda plain, but if I ever get a second one of these I might get the SOL and take it somewhere and have them refinish it with something cool. It's just too light and plain looking for me, but I bet something like a dark oil or satin finish would look really good on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members wwhhaatt Posted February 14, 2008 Members Share Posted February 14, 2008 How much are those going for? I love how the s guitars play and with 24 frets I could actually use one now. The only problem is the volume knob placement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
