Which do you like best of these Ibanez and Jacksons

[jchrisf]

The Ibanez is new and looks like it is coping the Jackson design

To me they pretty much look the same. Are you going to use the extra three frets? I don't even use the extra two Frets on a 24 fret guitar but that's just me. I think the neck pickup sound better on a 22 fret guitar, just my opinion. I think it's up to you what color you like and you'll be happy with either one. Good luck on whichever one you pick.

There's quite a bit of difference actually , look at the knob layout and switch vs toggle comparison .

 

[jchrisf]

I would never use those frets but I've always liked the look of a guitar with a single coil sized pickup at the neck. You might be right though and the pickup might not sound good. I've never tried one like this. I just think these look cool.

I'd probably be better off with this one:

None of them. Like someone said, "they all look the same." ESP fucks the flow of their guitars when they have the 12th fret that doesn't match imo. If u like them that's what matters but knowing Jackson, the only thing about them that make those a Jackson is the logo. They all look like an Ibanez for what it's worth.

Of those two I'd get the Ibanez because I prefer blade switches

For what it's worth the neck pickup on my Hamer USA Californian (27 frets) sounds awesome; Dimarzio Chopper

I hate white pickups.

I’m with Exo……none of these work for me.

This one is way sexier than either in the OP in my opinion

I've been watching this guitar for over a year now..they still don't have any in stock!!!

Yeah, I really like this one.. Might have to get it. I've always wanted a gold guitar.

I wonder how many they have sold even though they aren't shipping yet. I may asked my salesman. I wish I could find one at the store to try.

That's why I would never buy anything that doesn't exist yet ?

Ibanez would be my choice.. better control layout, MIJ and Lo-pro edge. Too bad there’s not a 7 string version.

I’m the same way. Blade switches over toggles anyday. Pinky flicking friendly.

 

[napalmdeath]

Those Wildcards are grossly overpriced.

That said, I'd go Ibanez Prestige any day, but not that one.. Neither work for me either.

 

[Brandonrz]

I like my Jacksons over my Ibanez. Comes down to the neck personally IMO play wise. Ibanez are typically thinner… also neck thru vs bolt on.

 

[mooncobra]

One of the best guitars I’ve played, actually, best super strats, was a j custom that brutally kicked ass in every way.

I have long hunted the Texas special. Rick Graham managed to snag one. 3 colors, only 12 of each color made.

Of those 2, I like the Ibanez.
