Happy Belated NGD - Ibanez/Gibson content...

[chrisolson]

Picked up a couple guitars recently!

BEAUTY is a Les Paul Standard Plus from a trade over on RT:







...and a killer extended scale Ibanez RGD2120Z. Thing is "used" but you'd never know, and play sooooo nice! Crunch Lab/Liquifire pickups. I have it tuned to D, and may go lower...we'll see.

For the Ibanez.

For the Ibanez.

If I told you the Les Paul had an Aldrich in the bridge and is tuned down a half-step, could I get a half- ?

[roodyrocker]

Both look good and the LP with Aldrich gets a full what year is that LP?

I put the Aldrich pickups in my black 68 RI Les Paul Custom

It's fun to play! The trem system on these is truly remarkable. One of the nicest I've played.

sweet LP, congratulations on your HNGD x2

NICE, i guess your days of gunslingers and ST-3s are over.

[Ward]

Very cool.

That Ibanez looks dangerous!

The good ones are just too hard to find!!

both very cool, Chris. The Gibson is hotness. How do you find the extended scale on the Ib?

I notice it a little, but not enough to impede my horse-shit playing. After a little warming up, it feels "normal" to me, and that's after coming from an LP. The thin profile of the neck helps to take that edge off as well. I also have a 7-string, so I have a pretty wide array of necks. I've never been one of those guys where scale length really caused me issues; my issues have always been more with profile.
