TributE · 28th October 2006, 20:14

Okay, Bhpians. I need some help. I'm buying my first electric guitar and I've narrowed down to these two.

Ibanez GRG170DX

Ibanez JS100

Please help??

I'll be playing mostly metal like Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer but there'll also be the ocassionally the classic rock like Scorpions, Pink Floyd and Lynyrd Skynyrd.

turbo_v12 · 28th October 2006, 20:36

How long since you've been playing guitar, dude?

Good chioce anyway, since Ibanez guitars have a good metal tone, which will be good for the bands you wanna cover.

The GRG170 has got 24 frets, while the JS has 22 frets. The JS though, has smaller frets, so that's gonna be more comfy playing leads. So it depends on what you want to play (rhythms or lead).

Either way, dont think there is gonna be much of a difference in feel. You could go in for either of them....

Do let us know when you buy one....Cheers.

TributE · 29th October 2006, 10:59

Been playing for over an year now...I'll be playing mostly lead.

kooldude · 29th October 2006, 12:15

TributE · 11th November 2006, 14:57

Okay.....the Js100 has been dropped from the options and replaced by the:

BC Rich Warlock Platinum

Boom Shiva · 11th November 2006, 15:33

I'd go with the Ibanez. I feel it's more versatile.

My all time favourite is still the Strat.

So who all are in bands here? I used to have one a long time ago.

navin · 11th November 2006, 20:39

Tribute, Ibanez makes great VFM axes so stick to them.

kooldude where in mumbai are you there are quite a few good teachers around esp. in Bandra.
