i,ve never understood why Ibinhads dont have individual bridge string hight adjustment, you have 2 Allen keys that lock either side of the trem n thats it! if y do a 2nd compound radius job on the neck & just one string doesnt feel quite low enough t the fretwire theres bog all y can do about it but add shims under the other saddles "bad idea btw kills the tone" or shave a slice off under the saddle of the string that needs lowered which takes forever, someone needs t wrap the trem designers knuckles at Ibanez methinks
they also need t do what Vigier have done & Yamaha b4 n place 2 carbon fibe rods either side of the trus rod t keep the neck from essing.My last Ibanez was terrible when it came t temp change, the carbon rod idea would stop that prob stone dead and save a lot of headaches for many

happy new year t you 2 Dave & yup Ibanez make a great playing/sounding instrument & then pull the rug from yer feet by denying you complete control t set it up
furthermore that rediculous bottom cutaway needs cut off 3 or 4 inches.If yer into big stretch single string intervals especially on the low E past the twelfth fret the back of yer hand is restricted by wood, strewth.... why dont they lob it off?
Cube:good choice bro but not sure if i prefer the Shawn Lane Vigier model hmmm

yup Suhr are fab no doubt but cant help think the lads at Vigier are more on the money with their design for the modern player AND they lobed off that honkin bottom horn i see which is helpful, ind string hight adj & carbon rods either side of the truss t boot, somethin about the headstock n fret inlays tho that make it come across cheap lookin

lol, choices choices, Cube am i right in sayin you bought a Cornford recently if so how is it?
ibanez_god:the sustainer is an ace idea but imo you cant beat old school crank the amp feedback, not mad on the neck tone pickup either or the fact you cant use the neck pickup for the sustain function as its the bridge pickup that drives the mechanism
there is the option of the other sustainer model that clamps on the headstock, that would remedy that prob but then y got another lead t trip over as it runs from the guitar headstock over yer shoulder n down t floor

Vigier Artist Lapiro de Mbanga in Prison
December 15th 2008
Cameroon artist, Lapiro de Mbanga, a Vigier artist for over 20 years, has been put in jail for political reasons by the Cameroon government.
Lapiro de Mbanga is very well know in Cameroon for his political position against injustice and has been a victim of repression on several occasions, but this time things have gone far.
After Cameroon's president, Paul Biya, modified the constitution in his favor, giving himself the right to run for as many mandates as he wants, Lapiro de Mbanga released a CD and DVD to denounce these changes in the constitution in a new song titled, "Constitution Constipée" ("Constitution Constipated ").
In February 2008, Cameroon was shacked by demonstrations and the government jumped on this opportunity to arrest artists like Lapiro and his friend, Joe la Conscience, accusing both of them of looting when in fact they were helping the population.
At the same time the government confiscated all of Lapiro's CD's and DVDs of "Constitution Constipée".
Lapiro de Mbanga has been sentenced to 3 years in jail and has been in prison since September.
His trial is scheduled at the end of December and Lapiro needs our support.
Please sign a petition at this address to help free Lapiro de Mbanga: www.vigierguitars.com/lapiro.

Cube:ooof, sounds sexy, so much gear so little money... sniff
