New guitar...

Got my new guitar today...a 2004 Ibanez Prestige RG2620QM...from the Fujijen factory in Japan, has maple cap on mahogany body, Edge Pro trem, DiMarzio/Ibanez pups, Ultra neck...unusually for Ibbys has 3 way pickup selector. Anyhow, it's gorgeous and plays pretty good too, very low action...with hard case, no blemishes and it only cost me £299 from eBay (would have been 3 times that new!) Can't wait to get it recorded!

    ha i know, having looked around i couldn't find a nice guitar in my budget - i don't like the sound of active pickups, and getting a decent 7 string with decent passive pups i was looking at £600+...so decided to keep my current Washburn (which is already tuned to C) and tune it down another half-step to B, in other words make it the bottom 6 strings of a 7 string, then buy a better 6 string and keep it at normal tuning...so use the Washburn for rhythm playing and the Ibby for lead. We'll see how it goes!

    Very pretty.  Looks like fun.

     In order, then, to discover the limit of deepest tones, it is necessary not only to produce very violent agitations in the air but to give these the form of simple pendular vibrations. - Hermann von Helmholtz, predicting the role of the electric bassist in 1877.

     Sweet!! Kind of resembles a Schecter to me. I hope to one day pick up one of these. The whammy stability on those are hard to beat. One of the best designs out there in that regard. I wish I knew your ebay secrets. The stuff I like usually has tons of competition driving the price up.

    What does it howl like?

    Have you jammed it in front of your cab yet?

    It has a whammy bar that's a good thing.

    my ebay secret...err, none? i got very lucky here. there's one for sale at guitar village, used, no hard case, reduced to £750 at the mo...but it is just luck. one tip is go for ones which are 'pick-up' only, but then use your own courier (i paid £11 for mine to be brought from newcastle to essex...) - need to make sure the seller is willing to parcel up though!

    as for locking trems, what you wanna go for is a floyd rose original (not 'special' or 'licensed') or kahler or gotoh or if an Ibby an edge/lopro equipped one. not that the licensed ones can't be good but they are made of an inferior metal so MAY not be as good.
