Sorry I should have said thicker. I don't have a lot of experience with anything thicker than a Gibson style neck on my Explorer.

I guess I misunderstood you, I thought you said don't buy that guitar its metal, but you said "don't go into the store expecting that guitar, by all means try it out, but leave with the one that speaks volumes to you." Which is excellent advice.

To the guy saying about Ibanez quality, Both my Ibanez are Japanese (Hoshino), so I can't really comment on the quality of the other factories. I've played some Indonesian models which are crap, and some which are excellent (with a pickup change). The RG Premiums do feel a lot better than your run of the mill RG.

Just as an aside


I was under the impression that the Classic Vibe necks were fairly similar to the American Standard necks, which should make them thin-ish? It depends which model we're talking about I guess but Fenders have never really been on the thick side in my experience. It certainly gets a lot thicker.

But he mentioned that he was originally playing on an acoustic, so a thicker neck might suit him. Again, it's something you need to find out by playing different instruments.

Yeah, the premiums have mixed reviews, i just think they could be a tad cheaper. As for the rest of the indo ibbys it's really just hit or miss.

Well i'm back !

After the advice you guys gave me I just walked in the store and after a few hours came out with a Fender Squier HSS Strat , a very basic guitar indeed , however I played te Ibanez i was intrested in before the Fender and the Fender just sounded/played better. Another small advantage was the amp that came with it , the amp that ibanez provided didn't really sound good at all.. So , a basic guitar that plays/sounds nice (to me that is :p) thanks for the tips a few posts back

this is not a great way to have gone about it. if you are a noob the salesman can sucker you into whatevers making them a good cut and the resale value on low end guitars is really bad so you get jipped if you want to replace it

We touched on this earlier. He was already wary of being swayed by the guys in the store and it doesn't sound much like he relied on them. If he spent a couple of hours trying stuff out and left the store happy then I'd call it a success.
