i used to have a really nice roadstar superstrat in the early 90's right when i was in highschool and just to play guitar
my pal's fave bass for years was another 80's roadstar thingy
i've recently (last year) done some recording with another friend's new orange single cut hollowbodied artcore,a very nice guitar

Can't beat a good RG for a shredder axe.

UV isn't on the list so I went with JEM. I'm more of a fan of Vai's 7-string line up. I miss that UV777 every day...should nevah have sold her...

This is another one of the "I wish I still had it" guitars.

I owned one of these and one of the Rocket Rolls.

D. Amn. Those were nice. Yeah, the biggest gear sell of my life was that UV777GR. I thought I'd outgrown the 7-string shred thang. Doh. Mine looked just like this, with the maple board, apparently that's rare on the UVs:

Voted PGM, but my overall favorite is the real old copies they made. The LPs and the V's rock, which coincidently Paul Gilbert has a huge collection of.

I really like the S series

I think the Artfields and American Masters are the ones that stick out for me. The high end RGTs look cool too. Out of the 50 or so Ibanez that Ive had, the USRG would have been the best.............

I like the "lawsuit" era ibanez. the modern ones aren't my thing.

i actually wanted an S series guitar when i was purchasing my first guitar...
it looked soo nice hanging up on that rack that i really wanted to try it out, but it was too shy to try since i was a complete noob and knew nothing about guitars..
the Ibanez SZ320 i really wanted that... it was withing my price range, but i dint want to spend that much as my first guitar at the time, now i wish i did.

I'm going with the SZ serie too. I'm really glad I bought a SZ520 as my first guitar.

this one is mine a 01 RG320QSTR,i believe its the last year they produced
this combination,mahog body with a bolt on neck,this version is a neck thru
now,and the bolt on is basswood,she has taking some abuse over the 4 years ive had it,the frets need some serious work done,ive upgraded to pups to
dimarzio X2N's,the paint is still in fairly good condition,with a couple of minor nicks,still my main player though

Artist series. Very cool old guitars.

I am an RG fan. haven't actually played the prestige line to see if there is much difference. S series are fun too - they may even release a 24-fret S!
I also enjoy the earlier PG series - where Paul had various shapes to his line...
Darn it, now I'm GASing...

And for people who have asked me to post my gear, (still working on that), that Iceman isn't mine, but it looks almost identical (I have gold speed knobs on mine--for some reason I think they look better than the black ones.)

I had 2 Roadstars back in the 90's as well. Wicked guitars:rockon2:
I've bought 3 Ibanez guitars since then (Mushok sig., Ergodyne, RG)and wish I hadn't!

I gotta go for the RGA series. Fixed bridge, dual humbuckers, 25.5" scale, 24 frets and a thin as hell neck. Not to mention it looks bloody god damned awesome!

I really love the SZ serie! Love the looking and features of them. Fixed bridge, two humbuckers and a neck-thru! Looks really sweet. But I have to admit a special mention to the Icemen one of the best design ever!

I'd say Artcore...
I've always thought the Ibanez stylings were ugly...but I bet they play great.

I love the RT series, I have an RT450 and an RT 150 currently, I want to eventually have at least one of each model and finish.
BTW if anyone has one of these that they would like to sell or trade gimme a shout.

I like the Artists from the late 70s/early 80s best.

So hard to choose.. I love the SZ somuch, and I recently got a S470dxqm that is awesome and im modding. But Ive had probably 10 RGs in my lifetime, so I must go with them.

wow, would have thought the Jems would be higher up there. It was my pick anyways, although I'm not really an Ibanez guy (some of the older Artists are nice, but play more like a Gibson.).

Me too!! I have a 1976 Les Paul that I love.
