Re: The Guitar Topic - B
Ballard:
I've got no hate for Ibanez guitars. They sound great and the majority of them look fine (take notice, B.C. Rich). I personally wouldn't buy one, 'cause I am not even close to Ibanez's target demographic, tonally or aesthetically. But I wouldn't mind playing one at all!

^Yeah, you know I think people have this idea in their heads that "Uh, Ibanez, those is metals guitars. If you don't play metals, then those is so stupid." But I really think that both the rg and s series' are plenty tame in looks and appearances to fit into any genre of music. Hell, I met a guy who used a rg770 to play country. I will say though, that although the new ones are great, they still don't quite have the mojo of the ones from the late 80's and early 90's.
Another good one that they made in the 80's that's really overlooked is the roadstar series. Those apparently had a nice strat style "C" shape neck, and they looked really nice and reserved.
Really, I think Ibanez's bread and butter through the years are the ones that are the most "standard," like the rg, s and even as far as the Satriani guitars.
They make very affordable hollow bodies, too.

Hagstrom make affordable hollowbodies AND respectable solidbodies. Best of both worlds.

I have a friend who has a vintage Hagstrom (before they were bought out), of which we can't tell the year. It's the most beautiful sounding acoustic I've ever heard, and truly a beauty to look at. Also really quite heavy.
Radical AC:
I really don't like basswood bodies, which rules out the majority of Ibanez guitars. On the whole the brand isn't bad, it's just that for the money I would rather get something else in almost every price range.
When I saw The Thermals Wednesday Hutch Harris was playing on a 72 tele thinline. The lo-fi fuzz and twang was so amazing I really, really want one now.
