It worked perfectly and got me exactly the tone I was looking for! So I ordered another one and some black covers. The only catch was that it had a slight nick on the neck, and the previous owner had set it up with Li'l 59s on the neck and middle - so I got myself one SD Flat Strat to try out. Waited for a couple of weeks till I found a great listing on Reverb and bought it. 7-string Electric Guitar with Poplar Body, Maple Top, Maple Neck, Amaranth Fingerboard, and 2 Humbucking Pickups - Transparent Black Burst.

I preferred this to the Soloist because of a bolt-on neck - I dunno, I'm just used to it. Jackson JS Series Dinky Arch Top JS22Q-7 DKA HT Electric Guitar - Transparent Black Burst. Besides, they are a lot more expensive, even used (and TBH, I'd generally prefer MIJ to MIA). So I decided to go SSH again, but with 24 frets and a floating bridge, and certainly not a Fender: don't like their builds, necks, fretboards, pickguards, switch and pot placement, etc. My first guitar - before the S series - was a Squier superstrat, and I loved the single coil bluesy tones you could get from the neck, and despite loving everything else about Ibanez's playability, often missed that one aspect of my old guitar. The last part was the guitar, which was also the hardest as my budget was ~$500, which limited me to used guitars. The sheer improvement in tone and responsiveness - when compared to all the PODs and Guitar Rigs I'd been using so far - was mind-blowing! It was relieving, reassuring, and exciting to realise that I was on the right path, and had not just thrown away $200.Įventually I got myself a bunch of cheap Mooer mini pedals, which seem to function quite well for this level of an amp. Eventually found one for 20% off at a local Guitar Center. The first thing I upgraded was the amp I'd been scouring the internet for low-power amps for bedroom playing, and had my eyes on both the Bugera v5 and the VOX AC4TV, but leaning towards the former for its built-in attenuator and reverb.

So I decided to set myself a path to upgrade my entire set up and finally go valve/tube amp, after over a decade of using digital modelling.
Over the last couple of years my Indonesian Ibanez had degraded in quality: rust deposits, imperfect neck, annoying volume pot, etc. The culmination of several months of incremental upgrades via buying and selling used equipment.
