Ibanez Prestige for brutal rhythm stuff?

The unfinished necks really are tits. My Carvin is unfinished tung oil; love it.

Definitely give the Tone Zone a fair chance before you pull it. Is a great pup for that wood combo imo.

Ibanez is not my thing due to the skinny neck but those Prestige guitars are really well put together. The few I've played felt pretty nice on the fit and finish and sounded great. Equal to any ESP in the same vein that I've played (Horizon, MII etc.) I do wish someone like Ibby, ESP or Jackson would offer a thicker/rounder neck option without going custom shop.

Ya I'll give it an honest run, but from the specs seems like too much bass for me. Who knows though right? TBH though I haven't been all that impressed with the dimarzios I currently have Dominion, D-activator. Don't get me wrong there ok, just no wow factor like i've gotten with the BKPs I've tried/owned.

Yeah, have to see how the neck feels? That was something I thought about but figured I'd just give it a shot. Buying from Sweetwater, so there's a great return policy.
