    Hi ^^

    My boyfriends birthday is coming up and i want to buy him an electric guitar... he really wants an Ibanez but i cant figure out which one is nicer... and then i dont know what kind of amp to get as well..its all very confusing :(

    i also dont know where to get it from.. i know of two shops.. both in khadda market in Defence phase V... I heard that one of the shops, V-sels is an offfical Ibanez dealer.. should i get the guitar from there...

    my budget is around Rs.25000.. maybe a little higher or a little lower.. but round about that much...

    thank u in advance for the help ^^

    ma'am u need to wait for a day or two before da real replies come in.....

    if u can raiase ur budget to 29k u can go for an ibanez 350dx,well if u wanna buy an amp too u can go for an ibanez rg 321ex for about 22k...dese two are da only models i have played....

    personally i dun like ibanez prefer greg bennetts over them any day......but its ur choice........

    rg321 costs arnd 18-19k, as in furtados banglore. U can get a roland 15x cube wid it or a laney35 D or R, depending on if he has got a processor....
    Ummm,,, but laney will go outta budget i suppose, roland will fit if u strtch yr budget a lil bit, n its rly gud.
    Or u can get a 270dx instead of the rg321.

    Unless you're playing ONLY black metal and want your tone to be ear piercing....don't get a spider.
    The distortion on them is truly horrible.[like a can of bees]

    I'd instead suggest an amp with a decent clean channel and a high gain pedal.
    [maybe a boss mt-2 with some gain mods...]

    Of course, if you're only playing clean, the Spider's perfect.

    ^Sorry mate, I dont agree wid u...
    I dont think the distortion is so piercing... Its simply awesome, just get the eq ryt... delay is good... N i dont think they r meant just fr metal... I found them rly versatile n extraordinary fr rock n metal... Its nt lyk dat m an over excited owner, but the amp is just too good. I hunted fr loads f reviews, but u get to know the real thing only aftr trying it out...
    @leopole: as said, i found the amp superb... Thou a bit costly, but worth the money... Effects r good, vil cater to most of yr needs. I dint try 15watts, just telling u abt mine, must b similar.
    There r 4 channels: clean/crunch/metal/insane. A control fr chorus flange/ phaser/ tremolo, another fr tape echo/ sweep echo/ reverb. Quite simple to work on, n i found most of the tones i need quite easily... But i'll still suggest u to try out the amps yrself b4 settling fr anything, dat vil give u a clear idea if u r getting wt u needed exactly...
    N yeah did u get yr guitar frm tulsi? Evn i ordered one, due on 20th... cross fingered... Hope it turns out good.
