However, there is one guitar that I have seen mentioned nowhere: the Ibanez SA260fm. In fact i am a beginner and this would be my first guitar and I spent some hours now looking reading your various and interesting articles. Hi, thanks for the article it's very helpful, and I feel that my heart (and ears ) goes towards the rG for the type of music i wanna play (heavy metal and trash essentially). Be sure to check out the Ibanez website for the latest info on their gear. I encourage you to get out there, do your own research and draw your own conclusions. This article is, of course, only based on my opinion. Plus, you can always have one of each.Īnd remember there are other great guitars from brands like Schecter, Jackson and ESP LTD to consider.

You need to feel comfortable with your guitar, and a thinner body may be better or worse for you. Point is, don't feel bad if your decision comes down to body style rather than sound. Some players love the thin bodies of S guitars, and some hate them and would never part with their RG.

So how do you choose?įor many guitar players, their decision between the Ibanez RG and S Series is about sound, but for just as many it is about feel and playability. So what if you read through all this mumbo jumbo and you still can't decide which guitar has the best sound for you and your style? Or worse, what if you listened to the sound clips and you can't tell the difference? The RG is one of the greatest electric guitars of all time, and the S isn't far behind. It's tough to imagine Ibanez building on their already stellar metal reputation, but they appear to have done so with their Iron Label guitars.
