So, I saw this battered old Ibanez RGR465M on ebay, and bought it for £150, thinking it would be good for parts or a project to learn how to strip and repaint guitars. It arrived with plenty of cosmetic damage, but I changed the tuning to my usual drop C, adjusted the floyd rose and intonation just to see how it sounded, and I was blown away! The strings look at least 6 months old, but it sounds so damn good! It just "feels" right, play fast and the harmonics are gorgeous. I've already used it on a couple of pre-productions for my band's album (with the same old strings), and I'm sure this is the guitar that'll be used for all tracking on our next album.
I own guitars that cost 10x more, and they dont play this good. It's left me scratching my head...Pretty pointless post, but I thought I'd put it out there.
