Mine has the smoothed of neck join to enable additional shredding.Armistice wrote: ↑Tue May 16, 2017 5:53 amPossibly the difference is the thing I also remember that I don't like - the scratchy fretboard - worst fretboard by far of all my guitars.JD01 wrote: ↑Tue May 16, 2017 4:36 am Woohoo, looks like I have the highest spec pointy Ibanez. Not sure what the difference is between mine and Armistice's though. The pickups appear the same. Mine is MIJ though.
Since getting some more guitars I found the Ibanez a little scratchy sounding, which is probably dues to the pickups in combination with the Floyd Rose and stuff. I really don't like the Floyd Rose though, just makes simple things like string changes a pain in the arse. It does have amazing tuning stability and is really well put together though, I don't even mind the neck that much. I hate the way it looks though.
I got it in the late 90s. We were playing a lot of Metallica covers at the time.
From what I'm reading (what have you made me do??? ) the other differences are minor and to do with the neck and join.
Yeah, that's what I read.JD01 wrote: ↑Tue May 16, 2017 5:56 amMine has the smoothed of neck join to enable additional shredding.Armistice wrote: ↑Tue May 16, 2017 5:53 am

Yeah, 24 frets. You use those extra 10 for completely wanking yourself dry.
I saw one of those guitars at Hermes music in Houston. Mike Angelo Batio. The lol'est guitar shred retard ever. 30 frets on each neck.
So what's your point..rayc wrote: ↑Tue May 16, 2017 7:24 am Pointy guitar and a pointed narrative that had a point, up to a point that is.
Personally, I'm quite interested in Pointillism and some Pointillists as well as Harry Nilsson's The point - which, surprisingly, made the point that possession of a point isn't the point at all. It was pointed out to me recently that harry was moved to write The point after some LSD - the stuff that makes one's pupils rather like pin points.
That applies to any guitar shredder. They don't play songs. They play scale exercises with drums.
I'm trying to think of someone who you'd normally think of as a shredder but that also plays music where you can actually draw some sort of melody out it it. Struggling actually.
Just thought, Randy Rhoads stuff was actually melodic and expressive instead of just mindless shredding. What Bob said just reminded me of him.
He was just a guitar player in a band. I'm talking about those guys that are known just for being solo act guitar players. Yngwie, Vai, Satriani, Buckethead, etc...unlistenable crap.
yeah .... I can't listen to any of that shit ..... after 90 seconds I get the thousand mile stare.
Yeah, fair point. I can't think of a guitar-player solo act that writes stuff that's listenable. Guthrie Govan maybe... but that's not so much a look at me play guitar thing, its more of a rock/jazz/fusion collective playing really weird music.
LOL - it's funny, I can't listen at all to the stuff he does with his 3 piece band - impressive technically though it is, but he's got a couple of absolutely great solos in Steven Wilson tunes. Guitarists need to be told when to play and when not to pla sometimes, for their own good.
