when strat players discover Ibanez

The fact that the jack plug is angled up just shows Ibanez understands guitar players struggles...

When I, a humble strat player, first discovered Ibanez, my heart burst out my ass and exploded in my pants…right there in the guitar store

I cant wait for next week video "When Strat players discover Gretsch"

Dude... Your playing has come a long way. And the best part about it is that its not just in the technical sense. You're developing a genuine expressiveness, which is always great to see happen. Keep going!

G&L is Leo’s final idea of fender. The Comanche, Skyhawks, S-500 are all fender double cut conclusions, the Asat and Espada are the fender single cut conclusions, the doheny and fallout are the conclusions of the offset fender guitars.

Trust Ibanez to take an old guitar design, modernize it, improve its ergonomics and the way it's manufactured, make it a superior guitar in every way, and yet never lose the sound, spirit, and feel of the original that makes it a classic.

Jeff Beck said of Ibanez something like they’re great guitars but it’s hard to know which ones which, there’s that many models. They send me one every so often.

I absolutely love the Ibanez "S" series. Great tones and super light.

Out of 12 guitars in my house, 5 are Ibanez. Love the quality, price, and innovation. Would love to see a show on the Jemm Steve Vai's guitars.

When strat players discover Ibanez (specially the AZs), they never come back. Most comfortable neck around.

I bought literally this AZ last week after only playing RGs. Great guitars. Excellent quality

I have an Ibanez Prestige az2204n and the most recent rg550 and they're my favorite guitars. From the factory neither have required the first bit of maintenance besides string changes. Definitely not the budget approach but they feel and play double their price range imo

Just ran across your channel.... Very cool .. love we are just sitting here and talking vibe....love the playing

The first "good" guitar I ever got was an RG550. For me it was the Wizard neck that made me love it. Haven't bought another Ibanez in years, but what they're doing with wiring in recent years really has me intrigued.

Decades ago, I became an Ibanez player. It was a bit less the guitars themselves and a bit more WHO was playing them. Satch, Timmons, Petrucci,Vai, Gilbert - all among my all time fave players. Throw in George Benson, Gambale, John Scofield and so many others. Good enough for them, good enough for me. Then, after owning a few Ibanezes I discovered what great instruments they really are, at often super competitive prices, especially back in the 80s/90s. Fact: Ibanez has the finest, most plugged in and aggressively effective A&R team in all of the guitar universe. Bar none. Recently, the Ibanez AZ, Josh Smith T style, Lari Basilio T style and Nita Strauss' S series axes are objectively superb, highly versatile instruments, with the AZ and the Josh Smith T basically outdoing Fender, with both approaching Suhr/Anderson quality at the higher tiers. Facts. @Mike: Do a double vid on the latest Vai Pia and Satch Golden Boy models.

Pat Metheny and George Benson play Ibanez. Nothing wrong Ibanez.

Just had to comment, it's a while since I've seen one of your videos, and it's incredible how much your playing has improved.

Started with an Ibanez GAX30 (low budget guitar). Then bought an Ibanez S470 and fell in love with how it felt to play it. Tried a different guitar but went back to the S series anyways. Now I own an Ibanez S1070PBZ-CLB and Ibanez AEWC400. I plan on buying the Ibanez QX54QM-BSM. In short if someone wants a clean modern sound then Ibanez is a nice go-to choice in my opinion, outside the shredding-oriented series. It has configurations for everybody, from blues, jazz to hard rock and metal. Side note: in my country most people really aren't huge fans of Ibanez, most of them want to get that vintage sound they heard as a child.

My first guitar teacher introduced me to G3 when i was like 8/9, he was a huge Malmstein fan. I gravitated towards Vai and Satriani, it's helps that Vai did the guitar for Halo 2's theme. So yeah, I have a soft spot for the Jem.

A premium AZ is the best value in high end guitars. Period. Ibanez now has there own factory in Indonesia for their premium/mid-tier imports. They have 100% caught up with the fugijen factory. I mean astonishingly good. My luthier(a real luthier) was SHOCKED how nice my AZ242f was built and asked my permission to take it apart to check out the work. The dyna-mix system is a game changer. It does everything! It's so fun to find a new patch/amp-setting and then play it through all the 10 positions(HH AZs have 10 positions). I recently acquired an Ibanez Q52 which has a lot of DNA from the AZ including the factory. It plays so damn good. Anything from Ibanez's Indonesia factory is amazing.
