Love the Ibanez.
Now to make you jelly, my first guitar is still at my folks home in the UK. It's a Shaftesbury Les Paul with DiMarzio pickups. Got it second hand when I was a kid, that guitar is like 40-50 years old.
I suck at guitar though so it's now my Dad's toy.
There is a large amount of jelly!!!
Huge fan of les Paul's (hence Gibson's name lol).
One day I'll have a proper American made Gibson.
I had already assumed that was the reason for the name lol!
I was looking at getting one last year and be aware that they don't ship the coolest ones to Australia, I tried contacting them...
I designed my custom fender instead which my partner stopped me buying as she was like "indisin, you don't even play your current guitar why are you buying another?" haha.
My current is just a semi acoustic Fender California Newporter Special in black.
You'd also love my partner's drum kit...
Do you find that the fender bridge is a bit "faster" than the Gibson one?
I don't know if it's the size of the gap between the strings that are different but I always seem to have better accuracy at higher tempo on fenders.
I was looking at that semi acoustic but the ibanez does the job. Surprisingly good for what it cost.
What's the kit? Man drummers are so fucking hard to find lol
