Joe... i was wondering if u have any sugestions for helping me to figure out if i should either replace the pickups in my guitar which i have been playing for the past 3-4 years or should i buy a new guitar? its hard for me to part with my guitar because i love the perfect size of the neck and if i had to replace it i would only replace it with an Ibanez. im asking this because i need to know exactly what should i do before i invest my whole summer counting weekends working like 10 hour shifts, just to get that nice Ibanez JS series guitar.
