Yup, the RR5FR in Bents is 5k.

Haha, if its a used Gibby ZW LP, then it would tempt him.

Haha, why the hardwork and extra cost? Might as well get a RR24 straight.

Well, nothing beats the price of an amber LP with 5A tiger flames maple top too.

SkylineFreak - GC generally jack up their prices quite a bit, not worth getting it from there. For LTDs, just PM DeadEye, he gives good prices. And also, GC aren't the most knowledgeable/honest dealers around. My friend bought an ESP M-II from them 2 months ago, they said it was 2007 model and had SD JB/59 pickups. But after he traced the serial number last week and e-mailed ESP, they said it was i think either a 3-4 year old model and had stock ESP LH-300 pickups. Needless to say, things between him and GC Sunway Pyramid are getting quite rough.

My friend just did a demo of his new Jackson Demmelition V on Youtube. Check it out.

Haha, i find the pink finish on the RR5FR quite cool. Cooler than the Bullseye at least.

Trix, you paid 6k for the 255? Isn't that quite expensive? I tought they should be retailing at RM5K+ at most? Anyway, get it fast and post lotsa pics for us. Which colour are you getting?

I think the Bugera's are in a shop in Cheras, can't really recall where exactly. Its named AEV or AVE Electronics or something like that, not too sure. Also, i just went to Bents Mutiara and played the Demmel AGAIN. Didn't realise it was extremely light. And they sold off the RR5FR and one Demmel. Now there is only ONE Demmel and ONE RR24M left in stock. So anyone interested in them better act fast! Haha.

trix- Did you find out whether GC stocks the RG50TC?

trix- Nvm, no worries. Was just curious on testing it out and seeing how good it is. Might drop by and have a look next weekend.

evalshtog- Yet again, we always want the same STUFF! Unfortunately they only have the red/black bevels. But it looks really cool IRL, unlike the pics on the net.

Dude, the only way they are goin to bring it in is if they know there is a demand for it. Just go by their showroom/call/e-mail them a few times and inquire about it. Ask your friends to join in too, haha. Thats what i did. But when they finally brought it in, i'm broke because i just spent my cash on doing up my car.

Get the S series, its def better than the LTD. But if you aren't using the trem a lot or if you change tuning often, the trem might be quite a hassle. And passive EMGs aren't really good. If you want to stick with passives on the LTD, better you go with a pair of SD or DiMarzio pickups instead. But IMO, the S would be a better choice by a mile.

What is your budget then? And also, what kind of music/bands do you play? Maybe we could recommend some axes in that price range which would be good choices.

True, but the prob with the RGs in that price range is the Edge III trem, i should know. Since you are new to trems, the Edge III would be quite a headache at first, though you could get used to it after a while.

If you want an RG at that price range, get a hardtail. If you want an S, then one with a trem would be ok since they have the Edge Zero IIRC. But as trix said, best you save up and get an RG Prestige!

Well, thats a really good price especially with the hardcase. But you might find the 22 frets limiting if you want to play songs by those bands, especially COB.

You are now my enemy! Haha, jk man. But seriously, if you want something good at that price range, best you go used or sacrifice the 2 frets and get the S520EX. Also, i saw this new neckthru Ibanez with mahogany body and EMG81/85 pickups at Bents. Its a hardtail though, and below 3k IIRC. Should be a good choice if you want to sacrifice the trem for the 2 extra frets and active pickups instead. If not, you better save up 1-2k more to get a really good guitar. ESPs, erm, i mean, LTDs at that price aren't worth it.

sean392- Thanks for the Randall info man.

Are you sure? I don't think there are MII Prestiges, hence PRESTIGE. Unless Ibanez want to intentionally throw away the reputation of their Prestige line.

MIK is still not that bad, but MII?! Cant really register that fact. Haha.

Basically below 3-4k, Ibanez or Jacksons would be your best bet unless you go used. Just save up and inform us of your max budget, then we can look into things. Good luck.

Try 3.5-4k, you should be able to haggle down the price of a few RG Prestiges to below that if you're lucky. My friend managed to haggle and got an RG2550Z with hardcase for only 3.4k at Bents last Friday.
