which ibanez is better for playing pop, blues and jazz
dun like heavy metal
sa120 or rg321mh or rg321ex? all around rm1k
or is there other better model/brand out there?
i just wanna start learning guitar... thanks

Get something other than the ibanez . Maybe get a strat/tele copy?

With their pointy cutaways, I think RG looks a bit extreme to play pop, blues and jazz. If you like jazz, and you want Ibanezes, you can try the Ibanez Artcores, or the Artist series. That's personal preference.




Otherwise, strats or teles will do fine.

Yeap agree there too

But if you really have to choose between ur 3 choices for pop, jazz, blues.. I'll go for the SA120 .

i dont think ibanez is built with a tone meant for pop jazz and blues...
same as other posts, tele/strat, or the SA120

If you're not into metal so much, try out the S Series instead. I find the tone warmer for rock and the RG is just a little bit more metal........

thanks guy... i think i will buy sa120
maybe sooner or later i will like rock

and the Ibanez god shall smile upon you, and you will rock...

The SA is quite a versatile guitar, i'm using one, and it can play from metal to rock to some nice clean passages..

plus the guitar is very thin and light, so no burden no your shoulders when you're playing for an extended period

hands up for SA

Hands up for the RG7 series mou! Universe, Apex, RG1527, RG7321 etc...

How can you play jazz without a 7-string mou? Extended chords FTW!

sharkie i recommend u to go for the Rg7321 axe. like rusty said. 7FTW

asura86, which SA are you using? I realize the nowadays punya SA series like the SA120 is so much heavier/neck thicker .. Than the older and discontinued SA's.
