The Ibanez models you're talking about all have thin bolt-on necks, totally different from the Gibson type guitars which have thick set-in necks.Embarrassed


The Ibanez guitar I have (Guitar synth model) has a neck that is thick and goes all the way through the body.

its been 2 years from the day that I was posted that topic!

now I have a PRS singlecut and a VOXad 50 v amp


I have a 2001 Epiphone Les Paul Custom, and while I love it, I have had problems with the wiring practically from the start (bought second hand). The volume cuts out without warning. I've had the pots cleaned, the P/Us checked, the wiring verified & even changed the plug (that thingy where you put the lead cord in). THought it was all solved, but I'm starting to think I'll have to tell my guitar tech to go through all the wires & re-wire if necessary.

I know the feeling, as I have broken two of my guitars. What kind of guitar was it? Is the neck replaceable? My gibson actualy holds the tuning better, after I reglued the broken neck.

 
It is said to be the first Test-pressing of the corean release??

You should have listened less to some videos of The Who, or Hendrix at Monterey festival

No, seriously, I'm very sorry for you...
