when strat players discover Ibanez

The fact that the jack plug is angled up just shows Ibanez understands guitar players struggles...

I cant wait for next week video "When Strat players discover Gretsch"

When I, a humble strat player, first discovered Ibanez, my heart burst out my ass and exploded in my pants…right there in the guitar store

Dude... Your playing has come a long way. And the best part about it is that its not just in the technical sense. You're developing a genuine expressiveness, which is always great to see happen. Keep going!

G&L is Leo’s final idea of fender. The Comanche, Skyhawks, S-500 are all fender double cut conclusions, the Asat and Espada are the fender single cut conclusions, the doheny and fallout are the conclusions of the offset fender guitars.

I absolutely love the Ibanez "S" series. Great tones and super light.

When strat players discover Ibanez (specially the AZs), they never come back. Most comfortable neck around.

Pat Metheny and George Benson play Ibanez. Nothing wrong Ibanez.

I bought literally this AZ last week after only playing RGs. Great guitars. Excellent quality

Out of 12 guitars in my house, 5 are Ibanez. Love the quality, price, and innovation. Would love to see a show on the Jemm Steve Vai's guitars.

Decades ago, I became an Ibanez player. It was a bit less the guitars themselves and a bit more WHO was playing them. Satch, Timmons, Petrucci,Vai, Gilbert - all among my all time fave players. Throw in George Benson, Gambale, John Scofield and so many others. Good enough for them, good enough for me. Then, after owning a few Ibanezes I discovered what great instruments they really are, at often super competitive prices, especially back in the 80s/90s. Fact: Ibanez has the finest, most plugged in and aggressively effective A&R team in all of the guitar universe. Bar none. Recently, the Ibanez AZ, Josh Smith T style, Lari Basilio T style and Nita Strauss' S series axes are objectively superb, highly versatile instruments, with the AZ and the Josh Smith T basically outdoing Fender, with both approaching Suhr/Anderson quality at the higher tiers. Facts. @Mike: Do a double vid on the latest Vai Pia and Satch Golden Boy models.

I have an Ibanez Prestige az2204n and the most recent rg550 and they're my favorite guitars. From the factory neither have required the first bit of maintenance besides string changes. Definitely not the budget approach but they feel and play double their price range imo

School stage band back in 1977 - the other guitarist came in with an Ibanez LP style and it was beautiful. I recently moved from Am Pro II Strat to an AZ2204 and I love it.

Just ran across your channel.... Very cool .. love we are just sitting here and talking vibe....love the playing

Jeff Beck said of Ibanez something like they’re great guitars but it’s hard to know which ones which, there’s that many models. They send me one every so often.

It's another story of discovery when you tried that Gotoh bridge and its whammy bar compared to a strat bridge, that thing can be abused almost like a floyd rose when setup properly, and the pitch up and down is super smooth.

A premium AZ is the best value in high end guitars. Period. Ibanez now has there own factory in Indonesia for their premium/mid-tier imports. They have 100% caught up with the fugijen factory. I mean astonishingly good. My luthier(a real luthier) was SHOCKED how nice my AZ242f was built and asked my permission to take it apart to check out the work. The dyna-mix system is a game changer. It does everything! It's so fun to find a new patch/amp-setting and then play it through all the 10 positions(HH AZs have 10 positions). I recently acquired an Ibanez Q52 which has a lot of DNA from the AZ including the factory. It plays so damn good. Anything from Ibanez's Indonesia factory is amazing.

My first guitar teacher introduced me to G3 when i was like 8/9, he was a huge Malmstein fan. I gravitated towards Vai and Satriani, it's helps that Vai did the guitar for Halo 2's theme. So yeah, I have a soft spot for the Jem.

Thx Mike . Great content 🎸❤️ I’ve been playing for over five decades now and and still improving. I enjoy and share many of the same things that you do. Excellent ❤ SOUNDS BEAUTIFUL

I bought my first Ibanez when I was 14 years old. Fell in love with the feel and tone. I bought a prestige when I was 43 and just last year at 57 I had to buy another. They are so fun to play. Ibanez makes great guitars.
