Did Ibanez Saber inspired MAYONES S series from the early 1990s?

This Mayones was the first electric guitar I've ever played. It belongs to my good friends.

      This fits my narrative about Korean guitars. The quality you get is a bit more random. You can get very well done guitars, and a bit worse. But if you find a good one, they're great bang for the buck. 4 MTM1s is quite a collection! :D

      I kinda see them as "too nice for Ibanez" - given the Ibanez genesis as "cheaper import alternative". In this way, I feel like mid-tier Korean/Indonesian guitar are much better representation of that spirit. But Fujigen guitars, especially modern, are amazing.

      From my limited experience with painting, I feel it didn't dry in proper conditions. It's a very deep colour, so really have to look against the light to see it, but I don't think it would pass quality check at Fujigen for example.

    • @Ibbyhead
      @Ibbyhead 2 місяці тому

      I think they're all great, but each has some upside. Usually people say that Lo Pro Edge and Original Edge are equally "the best tier" and Edge Pro is slightly below. They have slightly different feel, because the force arm is longer on lo pro and it's a bit stiffer, but I find it very comfy with that low profile. The biggest problem people have with the Edge Pro is that it doesn't have locking posts and this can lead to tuning issues. This is an easy upgrade.

    Thank you for sharing your videos!... I'm coming back to play my guitars after 12 years of being out. For problems in my hands and arms I couldn't play for all those years. Now I'm in therapy and also exercising and stretching every day and every time I can, and it's been working good, and now I can play for a little while without feeling a lot of pain. I bought an Strandberg guitar that's been amazing for my hands, worth the money hands down. But also I want to buy an Ibanez, I've alway loved those guitars, but I don't know as much as you do, in fact I'm absolutely obsolete aahahhaha, being out all those years, now a lot of things are different. I have 3 options that interest me the most (used), all japanese made. I've watched your video about the floating bridges and that helped me a lot!!... to decide mainly which models I don't want, based on the bridge they have. I was so lost before watching it, and your video was by far the most helpful of all the ones I've watched... so all my initial options went to the toilet and now the ones that call my attention are the ones with Edge or Lo-pro Edge bridges.... Prestige RG3120TW 2000 (about U$1.400 case included) / Prestige RG652AHM AWD 2018 (about U$1.050, only guitar, no case) / RG550 Genesis 2018-2024 (about U$680-880 only guitar, no case). I have no problem to pay $1.400 for a prestige guitar, I know they are great, but still the genesis is about half the price and I don't know if the quality difference is that much to cost the double. What do you think about those 3 options and wich would you choose my friend? or do you recommend any other model? (the guitar case is not that important to me bc I' wont play with bands anymore,...also I don't really need to save half the money buying the 550, but it also would be great to save half of the money aahahahah... I guess I'm trying to say that Quality is important, but if it's not that much difference...). Your videos have been so helpful, so I trust 100% on your knowledge and judgment. Thank you so much!!!

      I'm so sorry I've missed your comment! All of those are fantastic options. Genesis will give you this 1980s flair. They also cut some corners on them, to keep the price low and have them made in Japan. From what I saw and heard, there are some minor issues with fret finishing and general quality issues around cosmetics. They were also sold without case. RG3120 is amazing guitar. But because they're so cherished in the community, the prices are pretty steep. RG652 would be slightly lower tier in comparison to RG3120, but I really love that blonde finish on ash body. It's a beautiful guitar. Also consider what you like visually. If you like the guitar, you'll be more eager to pick it up more often :)

      @@Ibbyhead don't worry my friend, your videos have already been very helpful to make my choice. I've decided to go for the 3120TW but it was sold before I contacted the seller... so I've decided to wait a little, and then I've ended up buying a japanese RG570 from 2000, and I like it a lot. I have about 12 guitars but I use a lot the Ibanez (the only one I have). I was worried for the thin neck but this one has the wizard, and it's not so thin as the superwizard I think, and it's not uncomfortable for me at all... maybe because I have 2 ESPs and 5 LTDs so the necks are pretty similar in thickness. Thank you so much for taking the time to reply to me and share your knowledge.

    I only own one RG with a "cheaper" EDGE and that one is my RG350MDX. all my other Ibanez guitars all have the original Edge or the lo pro Edge. Even though the Edge III is no where near as good as a original Edge it is not complete trash either. I have used it for over 7 years now and it still stays in tune even with extreme Vai / Satch type Bar stunts. I mean how bad can they be? I can only go by my own experience and say the EDGE III has never given me a issue in over 7 years of use and think it deserves to be a bit higher on your EDGE tier list.

    • @Ibbyhead

      I say the same thing to people - even though it's one of the lowest quality trems Ibanez put in their guitars, it is still super solid.

    Looks to me like a more affordable RG 3120. I would much rather have my 3120 but this would have been a great option for those that could not get a 3120.

    • @Ibbyhead
      @Ibbyhead 6 місяців тому

      There are some similarities. The biggest difference is probably the baritone scale. Everything else is more or less modifiable. I'd rather have 3120 too, tbh :)

    bushing hack : use cigarette lighter to burn/heat up the bushing for around 2 seconds, bushing should expand a bit to have more firm grip when popping in into the arm slot. i did this all the time and it works like a charm 😊

      Hi! JS2400 had Ibanez Edge stock, so that's good news - it's fairly common to find. The bad news is that Joe's guitars have different fretboard radius then for example Ibanez RG - they're much rounder, and the plate on that tremolo have to resemble that. Where are you located? I'll try to help you find what you're looking for!

    @ibbyhead, I got that deep red 3120 a few hours ago and it is incredible! overall it is in mint condition except for one small paint ship on the back at the bottom near the jack. More importantly the frets are like new? Did the guy even play this RG? It is a 25 year old guitar and has no fret wear??? Well that is good for me!😁 I love these 3120's and plan on getting a TW Blue or VV next. I paid $1000 with case. It still has the stock Tone zone and PAF Pro thankfully because i love that combo.
