Ibanez: S420 (Part 1)

The current generation of RG & S-series now sport the deserving neck profile which made them very desirable back in the '80s. No, the current neck carve isn't that slim but it loses the chunk of the Wizard II. I'm very happy with this S420 & it was an unexpected purchase since all I wanted to get when I stepped into Swee Lee yesterday was a microphone for my daughter's use. I DID buy the microphone, of course.

PS: Thanks brother Faizal for the assistance.

Nice guitar!

Any plans for a change of the pups in this one?

the INFs in the current batch of S-series all sound good, surprisingly... might be keeping them :-)

i knew u would buy another ibanez when i see ur msn name yesterday =PO

subversion.sg said...

no bro. that wasn't the implication. i was questioning whether there were any worthy ibanez guitars here (in SG) to acquire since prices had increased :-)

gosh, i don't get why people have to say such things like "oh, you've got a long way to catch up" and blablabla. that is being such a wet blanket. i think it would be better to bring the point across in a more polite manner and show some respect for the blog owner. or at the very least, leave your name behind.

sub, i appreciate what u're doing so far, sharing your personal knowledge and experience you have with your guitars. and as always, keep up the awesome work!

Hey bro :-) there will always be such people around, sometimes their intentions are harmless but they way they do it reflects their manners quotient.

Thanks for dropping by & reading stuff here! Appreciate it.
