The Saber "S" series by Ibanez is one of the best guitars ever made by Ibanez.

I own a 540 Saber (Saber is what they used to call them) In fact mine is a prototype that was made when they first were developing this style. Many had Three single coils some with Two then they did a HB in the bridge with two other single coils one in the middle one at the neck. Mine was among the first to have the HB at the bridge a single in the middle and another HB at the neck. The first Wizard Neck was better than the Wiz II model but it rocks as well, nice and thin with tall Frets.

I bought two more S series about ten years ago 470s each. They have some minor neck issues now but I could tweakem up in moments if needed. All guitars need adjustments eventually so don't let that stop you from buying one.

I am sure many here will have opinions. If you buy one get the middle model, the EX seems to have a different species of Pick-ups I am not familiar with.

Big Bad Moon:

I never took any lessons either. If you want to become well versed at site reading, singing, tempo changes, Key signatures, Circle of Fifths/Fourths, modes, four part harmonies etc. or are thinking of going to music school or something like that then definitely take lessons and study properly.

If you can understand the chord charts, tabulature, scales, keys then just study on your own with a good book that takes you through all the steps at your own speed.

On the other hand you could learn completely by ear like I did and become more unique and original than most. If you love to play music then that is all you need.

Set a goal and stick to it, when you reach the goal, set a new one.

Good luck

Climber:

How about taking your stuff to be mastered at a studio with the equip you need? If you can master it on your software and then keep your mastering settings, perhaps there is some middle ware that can convert the mastered settings to the appropraite application that will also convert the MP3, CDA, Wav, or even the proprietary file within the software application you currently use to the new application. This would be extremely time saving and get you a minimal cost in the studio.

But hey I don't know your budget either. Sometimes we need another perspective to snap into reality. Light Bulb!

cuthbert1776, hola, aquí va la respuesta culinaria número dos: sobre como se prepara la paella tradicional en España, te puedo decir que hay tantas clases de paellas y arroces como comarcas y sí, hay maneras diferentes de preparla. Si hablamos de la genuina paella valenciana, ésta se compone además del arroz, de judías verdes anchas, judías blancas, pollo, conejo y caracol serrano (xoneta). Luego están las paellas de marisco, que en los últimos años han conseguido un éxito desbordante, con calamares, sepia, gambas, cigalas y entre las que destaca la paella de langosta, cara pero muy apetitosa. La que prepara tu abuela, es la que aquí llamamos paella mixta, que combina el pollo con varios mariscos.

(Trans: There are as many kinds of paellas and rice dishes as there are districts in the region and yes, there are different ways of making them. Talking about the genuine Valencian paella, this consist besides rice, of wide-pod green beans, giant beans, chicken, rabbit and white-shelled mountain snails (xonetas). But there are also seafood and shellfish paellas, which in recent years have become increasingly popular, with squids, cuttlefish, prawns, crayfish and particularly the high-priced but mouth-watering lobster paella. The one your grandmother make is the mixed paella, that combines chicken with seafood and shellfish.)

Acerca de "you are welcome", la expresión mas usada en España es "de nada", tambien se puede decir "no hay de qué", pero está expresión es mucho mas formal y cortés y menos usada.
La expresión "por nada" que se usa en algunos paises sudamericanos, viene de "no hay por qué", otra manera de decir basicamente lo mismo.

(Trans: About "you are welcome", the most used form in Spain is "de nada", also you can say "no hay de qué", but this expression is very formal and courteous and less used. The expression "por nada" that is used in some South American countries, comes from "no hay por qué", other way of saying basically the same.)
