    It's even quicker if you just leave the back off.
    You will never understand How it feels to live your life With no meaning or control And with nowhere left to go You are amazed that they exist And they burn so bright
    Whilst you can only wonder why

      But then you play naked and whammy a lot your pubes get stuck in the trem springs and rip out.

        Same here. Always thought Vai turned the classic RG body shaped into a monstrosity. This PIA even more so.

          I thought the RG was the non-JEMed JEM? Development and release was in parallel, right?
          Oh no.....


          Oh Yeah!

            The JEM came first, then the RG.

              The Ibanez RG was originally designed in '87, the same year as Steve Vai's signature guitar JEM 777, and perhaps the RG was received and served as a derivative of Vai's model back then.

              Either way, I've always liked the RG line (owned a '94 RG270, a much missed '96 RG527RLTD, and currenlty own a '15 RG870RWZ), but never liked the JEM line.

                1- trim
                2- change how low your guitar hangs
                3- suffer for your art and enjoy the pain

                      I appreciate that putting on pants didn't even enter your mind as a possible solution. :P

                        That would create more inconveniences than solve them.

                            I'm not a real fan of any of those Ibanez guitars. But now with the "new" and "innovative" features like the softer edges and the forearm relief, they are starting to emulate where Fender was over 60 years ago. New?! Maybe new to Ibanez. It's all hype!

                            I love that there are so many different styles of guitars available because every player has his own unique esthetic taste. But let's not take a VERY GOOD design feature from 60 years ago and hype it as a new creative feature of your very basic and simple/cheap-to-make body design and then sell it at a custom made guitar price. I'd be TOTALLY ok with it if it had a price of $700-900. And, let's get real!!! $194 per pup?!!!! Not only exploitive, but purely obscene!

                            Pooh.

                              "PIA" = pain in the ass. A good name for it. But maybe better would be "POS".

                                Such an intelligent and incisive post. You define deep thoughts when talking guitar. NOT!
