I appreciate your feedback Frank, you are an awesome guitarist and composer. I have listened to many of your tracks over and over and am always blown-away. Hopefully, someday things at work will slow down and I will have more time to work on my recording skills. The problem is I know what I...

Just strum, the neck is very thin I believe it is the wizard III neck. I haven't played many older RG's but I believe it is a tad thinner than the older models. Spudman, yes the tremolo has a backstop sort of like the hipshot trem-setter on some Strat models. You can remove it though and have a...

The body is ash, while the neck is mahogany. The fit and finish are really impressive and it has a good deep sound which I was missing from the Yamaha slimline. The neck is very slim, similar to an electric.

I just wanted to add that I did at one time have the 2550E that I purchased from a major online retailer. However, when I got it home they had sent me one that had been previously owned. The case was broken, the plastic zipper bag was torn open, and the frets were not edged properly. So I sent...

Spudman, it is a little different from the edge tremolo. I believe it is just a tad more stiffer, if that makes since. You can control that somewhat by using the thumbwheel on the back, which is nice to have. But after playing it I have gotten used to it so the tension difference isn't that...

I just received my new RG2550Z last week. I ordered it about six months ago, so it is almost like Christmas came early this year! This guitar is amazing, it is definitely my favorite now. I also have a 90 Strat Plus, but the Ibanez is just a whole different animal. The Ibanez branded Dimarzio...

I have never posted in the Acoustic section, but I just bought an Ibanez EW20ASE the other day and I am pretty impressed with it thus far. The fit and finish is very good for a guitar in the $350-400 price range. I did change the strings, polish the frets a little, and added a little lemon oil...

Thank you for the kind words. I have to admit I kind of got into a zone when I was recording the lead part. Like I said I used my RG2550, which I ordered six months ago and finally received it last week, and most likely got a little too solo happy. I use Ableton and have been a little too lazy...

Hello everyone, I know it has been a while since I posted any songs. But I finally got some free time and I decided to try out my new acoustic and electric on this recording. Please forgive the sound of the mic, it would sometimes clip and my vocal recording skills are not that great. Mainly...

I just bought an Ibanez RG2550E Prestige guitar and cannot wait to get it home. Has anyone had any experience with the Ibanez Prestige models?

Thanks for the tip, I am newbie when it comes to changing pickups. I wasn't aware of the naming differences but glad that I know now. Thanks

I have been thinking about a screamin' demon myself, I just wish it was easier to try out different pickups in your guitar. I just know I want to go with Duncans.

It just says MH-53 in the inlay.

Here is a photo of the guitar and the stock pickups

I just bought an ESP LTD MH-53 the other day. I have always been a Fender man and I just wanted to add something different to my collection. I saw the guitar in the local music store and thought it looked cool so I thought I would try it out. For the price I thought it was an awesome guitar, and...

Thanks again everyone for all the comments. Recording these tracks makes me miss playing in a band. Recording is fun but just doesn't compare with the rush you get playing live with your band. I will post some more later as they become available:) Thanks again, Chong

I centered the vocals and added a little reverb to the lead and vocals. Ableton is really an amazing piece of software! Let me know if that sounds a little better. Again, thanks for all of the comments! Chong

Thanks for all of the kind words! I have just started experimenting with home recording so I still have a lot to learn. I am recorded everything using my laptop with an M-Audio Fast Track Pro through Abelton Live 6. I used a mic through a preamp and plugged the XLR cable in the Fast Track...

I uploaded my first recording with some vocals. I am not very happy with lead part but here goes. Also, I am not the best singer in the world so please excuse your ears. But this is one of my first so any advice good or bad would be greatly appreciated:) www.myspace.com/elysianfieldsrock...

Thank you very much for the comments. I got the piano sounds using a EMU XBoard 49 MIDI controller through Ableton Live. I have just broken the surface experimenting with all I can do with MIDI, and those piano lessons from when I was a kid payed off too:D. Hopefully, as I get a little more...
