Ibanez S470

I know 2 people who own the RG320FM, I'm not a big fan of the RG sound (Unless it's a mahogany body) but it's a great all-around guitar.

Yeah, the basswood is a sort of compromise and sits between the two ends of the tonal spectrum, which means it can do all types of sound. But is not particularly good at any of them.
 
Which's pretty much the reason why I'd choose the S instead. But that just me, you should try both and decide what feels/sounds best.
 
If that was the case, I'd prefer a custom made guitar. Jems are overpriced and have that corny monkey grip...

For much less I can have a better guitar made to my specifications. I'm afraid that only works here in brazil though
 
Custom is great, but I'm just gonna wait till I know exactly what I want in a guitar before getting one.

It'd be a damn shame to dish out the dollars for a custom that ends up feeling like a factory guitar.
 
My old guitar teacher had a JEM and let me use it during lessons, and i'm not kidding, the monkey grip is the most handy, practical thing i've ever seen on a guitar. It's AWESOME.
 
No you don't :)

And about me "not being able to afford it", you don't know absolutely ANYTHING about myself. Learn to respect opinions different from your own. Just because you were born licking the guy from bkp's bawsack, it doesn't mean other should as well, so you might as well shut that obnoxious arrogant english piehole.

You can't say i don't respect peoples opinions when you attacked myn in the first place. And i could say the same about your obsession with DiMarzio. So you my friend are a class a hypocrite.

LOL! That won't work, sweetie. I haven't gotten even CLOSE to attacking you, quit playing the victim. On top of that, I don't have an obsession with dimarzio - I just DON'T LIKE BAREKNUCKLE. Is that so fucking difficult to understand?

I just can't stand you being prejudicious against me because of my location or whatnot. So do this board and thread a favour and rid them of your presence.
