If it has a tummy cut then maybe. Otherwise it's not much different than a lot of other similar guitars.

The Prestige line is pretty solid. To me that model is cooler than most Ibanez guitars because it doesn't look like you need to be wearing spandex to play it.

I like it. Clean lines, simple controls, and a nice woodgrain finish :AOK: Yay

It probably looks better this way with the pickguard removed.
Cheers :beer:

Do you still need to stuff the sock down the crotch to play it? :rotflmao:

Sure, but then you don't refer to the back of the guitar as having a tummy cut, it's then a tool cut.:D

Cost?

Cost?

About a grand at for basic black on most online sites. I cannot find a price for the more ornate/attractive finish model I posted.

Tantalizing in its simplicity, but $1,000+, I would buy one of their other models or go with another manufacturer - but that's just me (here that squeak, that's me too)

i have to agree....for a grand i'd be ordering a gibson sg classic with p90's....but that's why they make more than one guitar! :dude: :beer:

That's a bit much. If I really wanted it I'd wait for a deal. I got my Prestige 1570 for a bit over $600.
