No. Way too overpriced.

I like Ibanez guitars and I even use two (these [http://cachepe.zzounds.com/media/quality,85/brand,zzounds/JTK2BK-542b97a45117f2a6c467c13882ca85cd.jpg] two [http://www.drumza.com/images/IbanezAF75TDGHollowElectricGuitar.jpg] to be exact) but I like the more non-shredder type guitars personally, but that's because I don't really play metal too much.

I do have a guitar specifically for metal (even though that first Ibanez I posted is great for it) but I prefer more power poppish or hard rock playing styles to all out metal.

I'll admit that it's nice but I wouldn't buy one because it's pretty much the exact opposite of the kind of guitars I'm into. I'm a pretty diehard Danelectro fan, which I own 3 of, and I have a 60's vintage Teisco Tulip that I adore, and those guitars about as far as you can possibly get from that Ibanez tone-wise. I like guitars from Sears that are made from plywood and plastic-coated cardboard that make wonderful plonky, shimmery, jangly noises. For that kind of money I'd be able to get an absolutely perfect example of one of my two dream guitars, a 60 Dano U3 or a Teisco K3.

Also you don't need a guitar like the if you want to play loud, heavy music. A 3-pickup Dano put through a Big Muff can blow holes in reinforced concrete walls.

I'll pass on the Ibanez thanks. Personally, I tend to prefer more mellow guitars, like my Michael Kelly Patriot Custom, or my Jag-stang. If I'm going to go for a thrashy-shreddy guitar, I've got more of a preference towards Jackson and ESP than Ibanez. There's no real reason why, I just prefer those over Ibanez.

I've got mine. BEHOLD.

I love this fuckin' thing. The only drawback is that it doesn't have a floyd rose, which can also be a considered an advantage, as those things are a massive pain in the ass for maintenance, but having a whammy bar is always nice. I would like to get a few more guitars for different types of play-styles though. Was actually thinking of an ibanez, because they have a floyd rose tremolo and 24 frets (the latter of which I think should be standard) but I know next to nothing about the models as they all look very similar and have names that are some jumbled string of numbers. Was also thinking about a Gibson explorer with EMGs for when I want extreme crunch. Plus, I think every guitarist wants one of these to some extent.

Just because it's fucking awesome, though probably nowhere near awesome enough to justify the pricetag. But if I ever become rich I'll get one.
