I been playing Les Paul for many years, but then I found this beauty.

I bought it 2’nd hand for about 240Euro (1800Dkr), and despite being one of the cheapest guitars in my collection, it’s my absolute favourite.

It’s such a relief for my back (my Les Paul weighs around 4.8Kg while this is only around 2.8Kg), it plays like a dream and the fretboard feels just like a Les Paul, just a little bit thinner.

I been using my LP when playing songs in drop-D tuning, just so I can make a fast switch and don’t have to tune the guitar, and the difference in weight is very noticeable, it’s like wearing a thin summer dress instead of a heavy winter coat.

I have only tried it a couple of times with the band, and I already noticed that I move around a lot more on stage when using the Ibanez.

    Such a handsome guitar! Sometimes cheaper is better 🙂

    Also, username checks out if you play anything by The Cult.

      We did play “born to be wild” once if that counts?
      We were playing a mc-club and one of the bikers (as wide as he was tall) came up to us and asked if we played “born to be wild”, when we said that we didn’t, and he just said “well you better if want to leave with your instruments”, we ended up playing it four times :-)
