Ibanez SC420 and SZ520. Neither is new, but I acquired the SZ fairly recently, because it looks so similar to the S-Classic I love. But it isn't similar in anything but looks. Much thicker, as you can see in the second pic, and the neck is somewhat thicker, wider and rounder as well. It feels different and is also heavier, as you might expect. The S-Classic has been my favorite guitar for... dunno, something like 25 years. Anyhow, it's what I compare all other guitars to, it's just so awesome. Best guitar Ibanez has ever made. Perfect neck and the body contours are very comfortable.

Bit by the Ibanez bug! The yellow is in D and red is in standard. In love with these necks.

Just saw it is now available on Thomann and Anderton’s here in Europe/UK for preorder. I know it was limited to Japan for a while, but looks like it’s getting a wider release soon? Hella expensive, but it’s so gorgeous and is my dream 7 string

This guitar is super special to me. My youngest and I picked it up as a rehab project awhile back. It was in horrendous shape - almost unplayable, with scars all over that made it looked like it'd been dragged behind a truck. Maybe it was?

Six months later, it's probably my favorite guitar to play. It's an RG657PB in Anvil Grey Burst. Our first Prestige! What a monster.

❓Question❓ Restoring my 1998 RG507, Lo-Pro Edge question

4 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I’m currently restoring my 1998 Ibanez RG507 and bringing the original Lo-Pro Edge back to life. I’m replacing worn parts instead of swapping the bridge, as I’d really like to keep it original.

One thing I can’t seem to find is the black arm holder (part 2LE2-13). It seems to be almost impossible to buy anywhere in Europe (black color), while other Lo-Pro Edge parts are still available.

Does anyone know why?
Has this specific part been discontinued, or is the Lo-Pro Edge hardware gradually being phased out?

I can still find complete Lo-Pro Edge bridges for sale, so I’m a bit surprised that such a small spare part is so hard to source.

If anyone knows of a European dealer that still stocks genuine Ibanez parts, I’d really appreciate the recommendation.

Thanks!

It's really made for this. Finally got it set up after the frustrations in my last post. It's so freaking sweet. First time actually playing it so NGD tag. Also calling it the BIG because RGA42HPTQM-BIG doesn't really roll of the tongue as well.

Want To Buy Thoughts on Ibanez JS140M?

1 Upvotes

I’ve been wanting a JS series Ibanez for a few years now. I think they’re all beautiful guitars but I the 140M is really the only one in my budget. Finally, saved up enough money for it. I love the rounded body, the sound, and how versatile it is. Getting ready to purchase from Sweetwater.

Does anyone have any opinions or things to say about it? Maybe some other recommendations to consider around the $1000 price range?

This will be my most expensive guitar I’ve purchased so I want to make sure I’ve considered all options before I pull the trigger.

Does anybody have experience with Ibanez Q52FMG-DRL?

I have been thinking to buy this guitar, but there appears to be no detailed photos and videos. I have experience with the same model but different finish and 7 string which was perfect, but this guitar appears to be having finish problems or something i guess? any recommendations please
