Jackson or Ibanez?

[marty_the_westie]

I'm possibly in the market for a new guitar. More specifically, a bolt, 2 humbucker, floyd equipped one. I've looked at the Jackson DXMG. Very nice, priced at about only $460 and made in Japan, which is definately worth something. I also just today looked at an Ibanez S520EX, which is a new model I guess. I'm not sure, but I assume it's Korean, plus it's about $80 more, but it also feels very nice. I've yet to play either one plugged in yet, but anyone that can offer an opinion on either one, please do.

I'm an Ibanez man.. I've recently tried a Jackson Kelly model.. it was good, but every Ibanez I touch has that.. "something" But that's just me. Ibanez has developed pretty good trems over the years, as well.

Check out the G&L Invader Trubute (MiK). Available in mahogany and (I think, Alder). It will run you about the same money.

Do you need a floyd? I'm selling my DXMGT, it's the hardtail and flametop version of the one you're looking at. Check it out in my sig, let me know if you're interested!

Let me think about a little. I was kind of looking for a trem. Plus I would like some more imput from fellow forum members before I make a decision.

Definatly go Jackson, I've got a DXMG and it has held up pretty well. You'll wanna get a real Floyd Rose for it.

That's cool, but it'll be going up on eBay tonight or tomorrow, but it'll have a BIN if you change your mind.
