Sammy Andrews - TonyMac was at the Orlando Fl G3 show too....what a monster eh!
Guitar Buying - Guitars are built too inconsistently these days (my opinion) and I wouldn't buy anything without playing it first, including a Fender Strat. So many hot looking botique guitars out there that make better fire wood. Decide what you want your guitar to do for you and then make some considerations based on that. Ibanez rocks as do many others but, even Joe has his extensively worked. So, are they really Ibanez' after all that? Bottom line for me...get something you love and to hell with opinions.
