You can read all about the axe here:
http://music123.com/Product/Product.aspx?sku=158861

I replaced the crappy Ibanez INF pickups with the Seymour Duncan hot-rodded pickup set (SH-2 in the neck and SH-4 in the bridge):
http://music123.com/Product/Product.aspx?sku=153721

Also installed a DiMarzio ClipLock strap (camoflauge pattern).

I bought the guitar brand new at Guitar Center. I am the only owner and comes from a smoke-free environment. No scratches or dings. The guitar with the upgraded pickups and the ClipLock strap is all worth over $725, but ever since I bought my Schecter I haven't picked this guitar up, so Im letting it go to someone that wants a new Ibanez with killer pickups in it. I just cleaned it and treated the fretboard with lemon oil, changed the strings (GHS boomers 10's) and adjusted the neck last night. Comes with a fabric gig bag.

Local pick-up/drop-off only. Pictures here: http://dimebonics.com/ibanez/

if it was the floyded version, i would be much more interested.

i dont dig floyds, I bought the fixed bridge on purpose. Besides, Ibanez guitars don't usually come with a real Floyd Rose unless you are spending thousands of dollars.

those seymours are crappier than the inf's.
they are just stock seymours, no big deal.
Also...Ive never seen that guitar w/o a floyd, so thats strange, but the edge lo pro is a sweet trem system, as good as any floyd, imo.
Ive owned both.
I own a rgt42fm.

You must be on dust to think the Ibanez INF's are better than Seymour Duncans. Fuck Ibanez and their shitty guitars.

stock duncans.
theres a big difference, smart guy.
duncan jb or screamin demons are better, but stock duncans are junk.

Fuck Ibanez?
You just bought one.
with a junk bridge.
whos on dust?



toggletoggle post by porphyria at Aug 13,2006 12:09pm
kok, that's not a real edge, or a lo pro...They don't make the lo pro anymore, it's now the Edge PRO.

The trem on that guitar is the EDGE II which is lower end. They are made of cheaper metal than the edge pro. If it hasn't become unstable yet, it probably will, if not then you're a lucky one. heh. My giger had the Edge II and it turned into junk a month or two after using it.

No probs here.
Had the guitar for almost a year.



toggletoggle post by blue nli at Aug 13,2006 1:07pm
yeah, its downright crazy to ever think that a stock ibanez pickup would ever be better than any duncan pickup, ever. you make it sound like duncans are horrible pickups.

and ibanezes dont come with floyds, period. no matter how much money you spend, ibanez makes their own trems which in my opinion can hold up to a lot of original floyds.

I had stock duncans in my old esp....compared to the inf's they sounded shittier thru my rig.
Im all about EMG's anyway, so it dosent much matter to me.



toggletoggle post by dimebonics at Aug 13,2006 2:24pm
if you read the first post you would see they arent STOCK pickups, they didnt come with the guitar, I installed the hot-rodded set (SH-2 Jazz in the neck and SH-4 JB in the bridge)... and yes fuck Ibanez, there's a reason I'm selling mine, understand?

Ibanez makes decent guitars if you feel like spending over $1500. Even then they arent as good as they used to be.... the Steve Vai Jem has gone up in price and it doesnt even come with an Ebony fretboard anymore.

EMG's are hotter.
The rest is up to your own ear.
I like 81's, and I believe that they are more expensive for a reason.



toggletoggle post by blue nli at Aug 16,2006 1:49pm
the EMGs are more expensive because of the technology used in them.


the duncans are going to have less output than an 81/85, but still work extremely well for metal. i have the duncan JB in 2 of my guitars, i think theyre great pickups.

Every time you buy ibanez, god kills a kitten.
