u carry rgt42dx ?
those are pretty good too it seems

After much consideration I decided to hold out a little bit longer to see whether I can expand my current budget or not. Any other guitar makes to consider in the meantime people?

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.

Yuppers. I did say to throw in some extra for the RG1570...... Although my original price point for the Ibanez was about RM2200 for the S and about RM2800 for the RG Pres.... But still..... I was alluding to the fact that maybe he should save up a bit more (since his budget is already RM2500) and get a much much better guitar.

And good luck on your guitar quest man!

About the Prestige 1570 do I need to swap the pups?

The pickups are decent enough...... better then the regular RG pickups definitely.



And common! It just looks..... so..... darn...... good!

Looks nice but I wish I could have the S body though.

Anyway, since I'm holding out to expanding my budget, just how much do I need to get a decent axe? 3.2? 3.5?

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.

yeah i do bro, the one neck thru model MIK with sharktooth inlays.
indeed it is good, and worth the price as well

ouch... u shud've ask him to haggle me, he'll save more

Haha, i told him to go through you. He said he'll ask me to contact you when he wants to buy it. But he went and bought at Bents without telling me, grr..

Try Ibanez RGT42DX
Maple NTB
Mahogany body
Edge Pro II
24frets

699USD, should be around 2.4k

PM Deadeye I think he can give you a good price

Discontinued model? I couldn't find it in the site.

Woh? Just checked the newer ones removed the Edge Pro II and replaced with an Edge III
heh tough luck =/

a random review of the older RGT42DXFM, doesn't look like a shabby review
seems like they didn't like the pups, but that's swappable. heh

Are fender guitars advisable to play like some acoustic songs?

Or should I use an acoustic guitar?

Best would definitely be a acoustic. But if you want to play acoustic songs on a Strat once in a while, it should be no problem since they have great cleans anyway.

Okay thx, i would be using the strat for like Pink Floyd songs,..

Or why not Epi Les Paul Ultra II with the Piezo pickup?

the only acoustic i want now is this...


but my budget ran abit cos i bought the boss micro BR and razer mako recently...bah...
