looks like stormy is swearing off shoes for awhile now

i am mostly content with my shoe inventory at this point and have moved my attention onto clothing proper, however this is forcing me to reassess my priorities

[Lavabug]

an RFR rg550 would be neat to have, probably the most versatile 6 string thing ever made

my only experience with ibanez is the RG350M (which i got from lavabug), how much better is the rg550 model?

[jawn galliano]

i believe the RG350s were all made in indonesia and have the wizard II neck, so basically worse build quality, cheaper hardware, and a fat neck.

i've had an MIJ RG570 for close to 20 years and nothing can touch it in terms of playability, the RG550 is spec'd almost identically except it looks a lot cooler

[shadowalk]

Those reissued 80s RGs come with super wizard necks. I wonder how they compare to the original wizard necks. I'm really down for that fixed bridge prestige though.

[jawn galliano]

the neck profile should be identical, it's just a five-piece as opposed to the original one piece

[deckard]

it all sounds the same

[agony bagony]

tool?

[deckard]

yeah pretty much
