The new ibanez guitars

[Artfield (Artfield)]

 hi fooks

finally i checked out the new Ibanez series
they have 2 Am style red with a bigsgy trem and a blue one , well if you ever had a basebal bat in your hand...........terrible , but thats my taste
oke they cheap but the feeling , balance, sound
not my cup of tea....the glued in neck to the body
construction feels very strange.
Oke the looks are good but they never will beat an  
orginal Am series.
what i understand they made  in China( by a famous guitarfactory) and they produced for the low end of the guitarmarket.
the jazzguitar from the same series was alittle better.
Overall dissapointed !!!!
If they after cash instead of inventiveness and creativity than they will lose a lot of followers.
these guitars cost overhere in Holland 375,- euro  
so just think about what the musicshop owner is making, shipment etc etc, and what the poor chinese factory maker gets, i even think these guitars leave the factory for about 50,- euros
so it never could be a good axe !!!!!!!!!

 Hi Patrick,

Did you play one in some Amsterdam shop? (Dirk Witte maybe?)

 So Artfield, are you saying the neck feels similar in shape to a baseball bat, or that you'd like do do something to the guitar with a baseball batt?
