#

PRS for sure.

#

i find the wizard ibanez necks to be too thin to play w comfort

#

and the prs se i have got like a sweet spot for playing fast and comfort

#

tbf most of these things are personal preference u should play them first

hollow comet
#

thats because im making a band o algo

misty fable
#

what

#

aint no way

#

this was a comparison in the first place and that prs "won"

#

you're comparing an indonesian built prs with a mij ibanez

#

straight up better trem

#

and workmanship

hollow comet
#

whatever

#

i still didnt decide

misty fable
#

what is there to be shocked about

hollow comet
#

i was hoping you werent a guitar snob

misty fable
#

yeah so its a superior guitar on paper, you may just not prefer the neck profile

misty fable
#

lmfao

#

no its just the truth man

hollow comet
#

chill gng i gotchu

#

mij guitars can be better

#

but...

misty fable
#

well they're better most of the time, i would also play a 200$ chinese guitar if i happened to find one in store that received a good setup or something

hollow comet
#

i also saw a mij jackson guitar

#

and i was

#

hey? is this real?

#

lemme find it

#

ts.

#

@misty fable what you think?

#

sorry for ping randomly

#

i was also hoping you werent dying on the debate

misty fable
#

its fine

hollow comet
#

aight

misty fable
#

i mean it certainly is cheap but i dont know much about the 90's mij jacksons to confirm

#

i meant fine with the ping

hollow comet
#

ik

misty fable
#

still thats almost as much as a rg550

#

and its always better to have a brand new trem

hollow comet
#

brand new trem

#

wha?

misty fable
#

floyd edge

#

whatever you wanna call it

hollow comet
#

oh

#

i guess so

misty fable
#

they still use the good trem on the ibanez so it wont wear out

#

or squeak or whatever other problems arrive

#

but the thing with ibanez is that the neck is indeed very thin and i also find it too thin to practice hours on until my hands cramp

hollow comet
#

well thats great they make affordable mij guitars, but doesnt ibanez stick with affordable indonesian guitars too?..

#

same thing goes with prs

#

or jackson

#

actually jackson sells 1800$ chinese made guitar

hollow comet
misty fable
#

rg550 is the cheapest mij offering that is almost always twice as cheap or more as the nearest other mij that's not ibanez

#

jackson and prs still make their stuff in indonesia up to more than 2000$

hollow comet
#

crazy

misty fable
#

yeah

hollow comet
#

💔

misty fable
#

and jackson is riding the china bandwagon with chinese custom shop hand made or whatever

#

yea

hollow comet
#

still its weird

#

like

#

you can get a cheaper 200$ chinese made harley benton than 2000$ chinese made jackson

misty fable
#

it will definitely have another level of work on it and different woods, probably brand pickups

hollow comet
#

i guess so

misty fable
#

i mean if i wanted an evertune or whatever i would definetly go with the 1000$ solar or whatever than the 2000$ mij ibanez with that option

#

for stuff like that

#

but if you can get something you know 99% of the time will be spotless compared to addressing other issues then ofc i would go for that

hollow comet
#

solar is like a goddamn gaming looking guitar

#

and its lowk modern

misty fable
#

i dont like the looks its too metal

hollow comet
#

wait..

misty fable
#

schecter is the borderline between edgy and actually cool

hollow comet
#

then you might like fender in that case.

misty fable
#

i like how they look but i dont like the brand itself

#

its too pompous

hollow comet
#

true

#

i have a mexican fender stratocaster i just plan to trade it

#

for whatever guitar

misty fable
#

i would buy an fgn its the cheapest mij you can get but its so rare to find

hollow comet
#

imo i dont think a country can define if its bad, it should matter the actual qc on it

#

if its bad, not worth it.

#

if its good, alright

misty fable
#

definetly i love yamaha and the indonesian ones because its a different factory where they actually care

hollow comet
#

prs indonesia also care..

#

i msan

#

mean

#

theyre not like

#

epiphone

misty fable
#

prs is a good deal if you get a cheaper one like the cst 24 or whatever thats called

hollow comet
#

squier

#

custom 24? or a custom 24-08?

misty fable
#

the cheapest one

#

the se 24

hollow comet
#

i see

misty fable
#

because its in the masterwork factory or what thats called like the rest of them up to the american made ones

hollow comet
#

yk custom 24-08 does it all and its also cheap

misty fable
#

but if you have 1000$ and have to choose between a prs and an mij ibanez then yeah

misty fable
hollow comet
#

like

#

08 stands flr

#

for

#

8 different tones

#

like

misty fable
#

im not that huge about tones, you can always swap pickups or get something with fishmans

hollow comet
#

yh or duncans

misty fable
#

and the v8 and v7 on the ibanez is pretty timeless

hollow comet
#

yh

hollow comet
#

man forget ibanez.

#

prs or charvel?

misty fable
#

what happened lol

#

also kinda late oops

#

charvel if you get a good one

#

otherwise prs

slim dragon
#

PRS for sure
