How much in euros? Our soon to be currency lol.
£205 is okay. I had a GAX 75 that was quite awesome for the money, never tried the Jet Kings though.

yeah i know wat u mean the pound hasnt got a pot to piss in lol atm.

one pickup though. could do a bit of routing if i got bored of it lol

i'd like to play one. they played a show at the beaumont in march 07 and i got to hold the one that he actually played, and the neck was ultra thin. he has super small hands, but alien fingers. he gave me a high five and felt dead.

do want playz tho.

robroe said it was a cool guitr like

they have had one at my shop now for about 6 months or so.

its amazing. it just has that shortscale "feel" the second you put your hand around the neck. not exactly like a mustang or jag, but more like the supersonic. ill bet anyone money that he gave ibanez a supersonic neck to copy for it because its perfect.

for someone who grew up learning on a jagstang back in the mid 90's and now has grown to play guitars of all shapes and sizes, this guitar just feels right in my hands. like an old baseball mit or whatever you want to make it out to be. its a very relaxing feeling for me to go into any random guitar shop and pickup the one 24" scale guitar they have in thier inventory and say to my self "ahhh this is it, this is what i grew up with"

the omar guitar gave me that feeling immediatly and when ever i go in the shop i take it off the wall and walk around with it until hilary makes me put it back

didn't he play a duo- or super- in atdi?

If it does that for you, buy it! Imo that kind of instant bond with a guitar comes rarely, especially a model you dont know. I got a similar feeling when i picked the Cort Strat up, and still do.

he played a Squier Supersonic which he modded at some point so it looked like this:


(thats not his actual guitar though, someone's made their own based on the one he used.)

What makes no sense is the ibanez signature guitars doesnt come lefty!

What? When did that happen, I remeber checking the Ibanez website and they only had it in righty.
But thanks for the correction.

Eh it always has been. When it was launched at NAMM they had it left and righty. It appeared in the Ibanez brochure as lefty.

I even saw it on the website as lefty.

I should know. I'm a lefty.

i liked his AX styled one better
don't think they mass produced that one tho.

ROBROE. It comes in white now.
