    I personally don't like the way JEMs look. I prefer my guitar simple (hence the purchase of my RG). I will agree that most Jacksons look way better than Ibanez guitars. But quality-wise and price-wise you cannot go wrong with an Ibanez (preferably go for RGs...GRXs are not worth the money);

    a JEM plays really well.. and sounds awesome (i think its got dimarzio evos on it) rgs also play really well - but nothing beats the super wizard II neck on the prestige Rgs.... thats really good.....

    i think Rg prestige rox mostly bcoz they got dimarzio pickups....than the simple PNS 1s of Rg series.

    i think JEM looks amazing, especially stevai vai's one where it has wonderful looking inlays.
    jackson definitely rock on looks however, even BCRich warlocks r incredible.

    dats a real beauty...thing is even if u work hard and make some hard cash for these guitars. u would think twice before playing on it....and keep thinking "it looks so beauty in dat case, let it be inside i dont wanna make it dirty"....u know wat i mean.

    like i bought this very expensive shoes...however, i was hesitating for a while to wear it and go outside since it will make it a bit dirty.:shock:

    i don't know man...to be honest i have never seen a string through body in my life!!..very rare these things...bass guitars with string throug's are pretty common but i never go to the bass guitar side of the shop :) so can't say anything..

    strangely ive been coming across many string through body systems in the last 2-3days onlne - doubt that there is any locking system in place..... i think its just got a hook in the body...... some might have a tension spring.

    Man, Strats and Teles are string thru body right? And dont tell me you have never seen a Fender!!!

    NO!!...they are not technically string throughs...thier strings pass through the tremolo unit... :) lol i know what you mean...it is very close but there is a difference..

    i have heard ibanez guitars wid tremolo system and locking nut really suck ....wat do u guys think?

    I don't know where you get all this (mis)information. I have an Ibanez guitar with a tremolo system and locking nut and it's great.

    i have checked reviews of ibanez rg series....wat i came to know is dat many ibanez rg owner were not happy wid the sound of guitars when it comes to "clean" mode. wat do u guys think.

    of course, it might be bcoz it has pns pickups not gr8 ones like dimarzio.

    if i had money i wud defenitely go for jackson or higher ibanez like JEM.
