Another set of heads down the drain...

Another set of heads down the drain...
For this badass Ibanez S2170SE Prestige.
As many of you know, cars are only my hobby and my real passion is music and guitars. For the money I've spent on guitars and amps just since the beginning of this year, I could have purchased my entire Trickflow / Dominator 2 / FAST 92 setup, had installed it, and had it tuned.
Ah well, someday a decent H/C/I package will happen...

And it's a flat natural pattern and the finish is called Swirled Ebony. It's pretty freakin sweet.
Thank you, sir! I've got quite a few guitars (before this the last purchase was a Les Paul Standard Plus) but when I saw and then played this one, it was a no brainer, especially for my band sound- and looks-wise. Plays nicer than it looks.

Nice axe!!! That guitar is a very nice piece
I'm actually looking to get another guitar soon, gonna take a trip up to guitar center one weekend and try out a whole mess of guitars.
What would you rate this guitar at? Like out of 10 what score would you give it? And how are the pickups?

Feel-wise: 9
Sound-wise: 8/9 depending on what you like. I personally like a very hot pickup, and these are hotter than the humbuckers on my strat, but not as hot as the ones on my Ibanez RG570. They're rock/metal, but not total metal, like the other Ibanez.
Most of the Prestige model Ibanez guitars are very nice, especially the Japanese built ones. This one is a Korean built one, but plays like a Japanese in my opinion. And the look is killer.

Joe, you know damn well that BS machine could, with a relativly inexpensive purchase be blowing your doors off LOL.
But you also know, that with about 1500 in parts and a week's time you could be running 11.5x too....
I do admit I love watching you guys go at it.
Nice guitar though, you're gonna have to bring it over for the new years party, I have another guy that I used to work with that might come too, if he does I'll tell him to bring his you 2 can rip it up. He's a little older then you, but was into heavy **** before it was cool, really good guy, and can play like a ****.

Very nice. I'm more of an Ibanez RG fan. I just bought a new RG finally last sunday along with a Line 6 amp. I've been waiting along time to finally buy a new amp and guitar. It was kind of an impulse buy. I know in a few weeks I'll be wishing I waited and bought something else.

It's like if I won the lotto, I wouldn't just go out and buy a Veyron first thing. I'd start off with something similar to my car (only nicer, like an LS3), and then mod it up. Then I would slowly buy faster and faster cars so I could enjoy it.
Or I might just throw an LS7 with an F1 and some juice on this car and be done with it.

And here's my other Gibson - The Paul II (discontinued):

Gibson's rule man. They are so sweet and fat sounding. I use Ernie Ball (green pack). I think they are 10/46's? Its a nice thin string for solos but can handle my picking for heavier stuff. I've never been a fan of a thicker string. Probably because my guitars are set up real low- action.

Which RG and which Ibanez? I have an RG570 that I bought a few years back (see pic below). I LOVE the pickups on it and the really thin Wizard neck, but the finish is blah. I do love the sound and feel of it, though, and that's what's keeping me from selling it cheap. It plays and sounds like a MUCH more expensive guitar, much nicer than any of the other RG guitars I've played. The more I sit down and think about it, the less I want to sell it. I just wish it was a different color because I liked it at first, but like it less and less as time goes on.
It's the RGR421EXFM, it looks like it has EMG pickups in it. The pickups are stamped "Designed by EMG" and at the lower right hand corner of the pickup Ibanez has their name on them. I'll have to get a pic and post it on here.

That's a pretty sharp looking guitar. I could never get used to the reverse headstock, though. Is it in red with the black edges? Those pickups are exactly what they say they are, designed by EMG specifically for this model (and possibly a few other models) Ibanez, but made only for Ibanez. Definitely get some pics!
