Reply With QuoteMy opinion, the Ibanez by a mile. I have an Ibanez S520EX and, as far as action + fit + finish, Ibanez are making some of the best guitars out there, bar none, including Washburn, which I've never cared for...but that's just me.
Regular Fretter
RG Vs. PRO-E
the bassist in my band is convinced that his guitar (regular 6 string guitar) is better than mine. and its annoying because ive always hated washburns, and my guitar cost twice his..
anyway, time for specs:
Ibanez RG420RG:
V7/8 Pickups
Edge III trem
24 frets
Wizard II neck
1 volume & 1 tone
5 way selector
sharktooth inlays
insanely low action
stays in tune like a dream (locking nut <3)
light as air
Washburn W200PRO-E:
EMG 81/85s
Stopbar tailpiece
22 frets
neck= godknows.
2 volume & 2 tone
3 way selector
dot inlays
loses tune on even the smallest bends
heaviest guitar ive ever held, gives me backache.
but which is actually BETTER?
Guitars: Ibanez RG420EG, Harrier Mistral Ice White Tele
Amps: Hughes & Kettner Edition Blue 15R (w/ 8" Celestion), Marshall Valvestate Mk.I 8100 Head, Blackheart BH5H Head
Cabs: Marshall 4x12 (4 x Celestion Pro 12")
FX:Line 6 Floor POD, BOSS 7-band GE-7, BOSS Mega Distortion MD-2, Vox V847a Reissue Wah, Danelectro Cool Cat Drive
Just another Rig Sig Jig, Dig?
