In my opinio, I don't enjoy playing many Ibanez-es much, especially the Prestiges because of the "flat" neck, as compared to my ESP and other ESP I've played and owned before. But between the options that you've put up, namely, an RGA Prestige versus the Schecter Omen and the C1, I believe the Prestige may be a way more satisfying guitar. If your budget can't reach the Prestige pricepoint, do consider the new Ibanez Premium line.

Hi All,

Thanks for all your comment and opinion.!

yes, i need to look and test it out first before deciding.

additional information here, im looking for a guitar without tremolo/floyd rose . coz im not into guitar solo type hence im more in guitar riffing and technical stuff.

yesterday i go to bentley damansara and look around on Ibanez section, try to do some survey which guitar suitable to me. i found an Ibanez DN530K *i think* (purple color) that match with my style (the weight, design, the curve neck just like LP) BUT im not tested it.!!!!! im afraid if i call the assistance and tested it out consider that i would buy it on the spot.! i still haven't test yet on schecter. oh mai oh mai...... sad.gif

What's your tuning? I'm guessing in the range between D Standard to C Standard? Schecter gets a plus point in this aspect where most of their necks having a 26.5" scale - slightly having more string tension - better riffing/strumming hard/PM-ing.

But if you're talking quality/playability/overall feel over brands/wood/whatnot, the RGA prestige is far more superior (to me of course). But those Prestige Ibanezes supposed to be 3k above, no? Unless you found a used one  whistling.gif

My tuning is C standard.
Yes, that was what i tot, but i still haven't try Schecter guitar and for now i try to collect all of you guys opinion first, adding my knowledge about both brands.

Thanks yo.!!!! appreciate it.! biggrin.gif

Not all Schecter necks are chunky. For instance, the earlier C-1 models have thinner necks, suitable for most Asian grips. Sales plug or what, you are free to test mine. See my sig.
