This (Fire)man's worth

The last time I mentioned this Ibanez Fireman FRM100 here, its list price wasn't released yet. But be informed that you can purchase this wonderful instrument (yes, the guitar per se is awesome) for slightly more than $2K (list price). You'd read in many advertisements the affordability factor of the FRM100; let's re-think what 'affordability' means.

On fire

The Chinese Ibanez Fireman (FRM100TR) is now available at Swee Lee (BB showroom), managed to play it today & I must say that it gave a different single coil experience. That's partly due to the fact that the DiMarzios in there are functionally humbucking but the single coil character are definitely present & delightful. All 3 pickups sounded thicker than an average twanging unit & I'd say they have lots in store when it comes to drive/ distortion.

PS: The list price of this instrument is still pending; patience...
