NicP Posted January 11, 2009 Report Share Posted January 11, 2009 Ibanez GAX30Looks like a SG sounds pretty good, necks not too bad either, lead guitarist of my band had it as his first guitar and loves the thing.Can get them new for around 120 quid aswell.

Revolver Posted January 11, 2009 Report Share Posted January 11, 2009 I'd concider an ibanez if i was you, depending on how much you have, in comparison to the low end strats and epiphones a low end ibanez will kill them when it comes to heavy stuff.i mean my ibanez cost £300 has the neck of some of the £1000+ and a seymour duncan blackout pickup.I don't like the way it only has one pickup.2 minimum! My ibanez has 3, I never really use the middle one though. If I changed it I might use it more.The wizard III neck feels silk smooth, it makes my other guitar feel horrible.

If I changed it I might use it more.The wizard III neck feels silk smooth, it makes my other guitar feel horrible.Wizard II is even better. I acctually like the single pickup, for looks anyway.When the strat finally arrives, has the custom work done etc. it'll have some dimarzio stacked humbuckers so that'll be my main player.

Revolver Posted January 11, 2009 Report Share Posted January 11, 2009 Well, single pickup is certainly more simple. It's less likely to break! Hehe. I like the sound of my neck pickup thoug, especially on clean.It would appear my guitar has the wizard II neck on it, it really is nice. I can't imagine a nicer one. Funny, but I reckon even though we have the same necks they'll feel different. I have a schecter blackhawk, I played one in the shop a while after buying mine and it felt totally different.

So do I, do you have the unfinished version of the wizard, or silly painted varnished poo version? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revolver Posted January 12, 2009 Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 I think it's unfinished.Certainly not painted, and it doesn't feel varnished either.One great thing about the ibanez is how hard-wearing the paint is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Revolver Posted January 12, 2009 Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 Yeah, its just smooooooooooooooth...I've not done anything horrible to my guitar, dropping it and the like, but its not chipped or scratched at all! I'm really happy with it, especially with the super distortion pickup. I find that the INF one sort of tops out on the high end of the neck, where as this sounds awesome all the way up.

Revolver Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 It sounds great. As for the other one, I'll get a pic unstickered. That guitar isn't as nice to play, or nice sounding, but for some reason it sounds better than even the demarzio superdistortion pickup when you play powerchords on it. It sounds more raw and powerful. I sorted it to sell to my brother, but I might end up missing it because of that strange character of it.Sure you don't want to un-quote those pics?

I'll get the ray and the strat out tomorrow for you, I'm still unpacking my studio so I don't want to handle/move/risk damaging them twice if you know what I mean. The Strat's a Japanese Fender with red sunburst to give you an idea, which is quite nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
