Are you more of an Ibanez dude or a Jackson guy? Why?

I would say neither..... In the same class I have a original 1988 Hamer California with 27 frets,one humbucker and one single.
It list for $1600 back then and they stopped making them. It's a shame because this guitar simply kills in tone and playablility.

Neither really, those names just conjour up images of pointy super strats.
Gimme a Fender any day

Really it doesn't matter it's all about the playing!

It's a bit shallow o get all hung up on looks, I'll admit.
But I wouldn't want to play something that I thought was ugly

Im more of a gibson guy however I would play an Ibanez or a jackson if it played and sounded nice and stayed in tune...Im not fussy...gimme a guitar and plug it in man.

I've got both and my Ibanez is much more playable than my Jackson/Charvel. They both play great but my Charvel( made by same people as jackson) is always giong out of tune even though it's like a $1000 guitar.

IBANEZ! :rockout: :4pieceband:

Ibanez Jem 777 and Artist 2000 f.e. are completely different instruments.So are Jackson alder body models and mohogany Scott Jan model.Ibanez or Jackson,Ibanez or Ibanez,Jackson or Jackson-it depends on the tone you are looking for.
The mainstream Ibanez models got a little wider and thinner neck and great playability.Jacksons have the advantage of the compound-radius neck.
So I would prefer to have both.

I think both play fine. Ibanez is my personal perference (although i play a Washburn)...nothing to do with tone or company or anything.just pewrsonal perference.

I say get a few of each. I have a ibanez, a charvel, a washburn, gibson and (I just realized i owned all these brands in the past but they were stolen, and one was sold. ) So I've had 2 of each of them and my favourite is always whichever one I'm playing at the moment! Variety is great

Jackson for life, talk about the flat neck, light solidbody, the perfect sound and don't forget how great it looks over all.

I like my Ibanez S1520BP with EMG 81's....i have played many jacksons and i just love the feel and sound of my ibanez.

i would choose the jackson, only company i know of that even there low end guitars are just as good as there high end....

it depends on many things ....

check the facts
.paul gilbert the fastest string skipper in the world.(ibanez)
.steve vai the the most creative man the electric guitar.(ibanez)
.herman li fast tapper in the world (my oponion).(ibanez)

if all these guys use a ibanez thats got to tell you some thing.

if it feels good get it,in fact buy one of everything but Im a Gibson kinda guy.....

I like the Ibanez Hollow Bodies Myself.

Neither. The only Ibanez I've ever been attracted to was the Jetking 1.
Give me a modded Jazzmaster, Strat or Thinline and I would be set. Maybe a gibson explorer..... Jacksons make me think of metal wankery:s
