Anyone have any experience with either of these? I've got a chance to trade for either...

Sterling by Music Man JP50

Or, a MIJ Ibanez RG470

Re: Question...

Anyone know what those Petrucci Trems are like? I'm no Steve Vai, but I like to do Eddie Van Halen stuff, 80's hair metal, with the trem...
 
Re: Question...

Get the Music Man!!!!!

EDIT: Almost forgot!!! The bridge is better on that guitar. Who wants to mess around with allen wrenches every time you do a string change??

Yeah me likey the Music Man. Honestly I have not played either, but my my feeble that gathers bits of information over periods of time likes the MM.

Re: Question...

The Sterling isn't Musicman's budget line is it? I can't remember the names of their different lines. The MIJ Ibanez in general are very nice guitars.

Musicmans tend to have narrower necks although this is a signature model so it might be different. The Ibanez on the other hand will have a very wide flat neck. I would be inclined to take the MM if the price of each was roughly equivalent based on the fact that I don't like floating trems but this is really a subjective call as the guitars are pretty different, it's not a question of which is better really.
 
Re: Question...

If you're into EVH type trem work I would think the locking trem on the Ibanez would be better for you. It depends what this guitar is going to be used for, really. They're so different...
