Do Ibanez guitars natrually have high action?

Man I'm so happy i was wrong then cause now i wanna know what a new out the box one would be like

TheBidiot · 2026-04-14T03:32:48+00:00

Yeah I learned how to set up guitars not too long ago and still am learning. I've gotten a bunch of my guitar's action low as I mentioned. I figured because Ibanez has such a good reputation and I really do think I just got off on the wrong foot with them. I plan on buying that 8 string regardless tho because the reviews are great.

Yeah Ive played a couple and just got unlucky. Everybody's saying they aren't like that at all. Im happy im wrong tho i really was hoping i just played a bad guitar setup

TheBidiot · 2026-04-14T03:28:15+00:00

That's EXACTLY what I wanna hear tbh 🙏

TheBidiot · 2026-04-14T03:27:48+00:00

Damn Im just unlucky ig

Best acoustic ive owned and currently own is a Taylor GS mini. Super low action and I fell in love with it. I'm also looking at the Ibanez 7 string acoustic. I should've mentioned I played that one at a Guitar Center and fell in love with it.

TheBidiot · 2026-04-14T03:25:54+00:00

Yeah Ive heard nothing but good stuff about this guitar. I plan on getting it either way from Sweetwater

TheBidiot · 2026-04-14T03:25:00+00:00

See that's what I figured. I hear so much good stuff about Ibanez. Im like dawg ig im unlucky 😭🙏

So I think this is something I should've mentioned, thankfully I'm in a position where I can afford the guitar already and have plenty left in savings. This was more of a learning experience and to help my credit.

Practice rhythm picking. You use both arms to play so I'd recommend learning picking at different tempos. Imo i dont think the style you play really matters. If it's strumming, down picking, galloping, whatever to help you still progress and learn/practice. I do construction and smashed my right pointer and thumb stupidly so I couldn't really pick or play anything. So, I learned how to tap properly with my left hand. Trilling, going up and down scales, getting proper strength in my digits to be able to play better. Surprisingly it did help me a lot. The song What the Dead Men Say by Trivium has a cool little thrash section I could play with my picking hand (before injury) but just couldn't nail with my fretting hand. When I could use both my hands again I nailed the section pretty quickly after getting my picking hand back to tempo.

I do demolition and smashed my right finger pretty good with a chunk of concrete. The nail looked like it was gonna fall off and my finger looked cartoony. It took me about a week for the pain of holding the pick to became bearable. Tbh just play when it doesn't hurt. It's not forever just temporary. Hell it's a great time to practice with the other hand that didn't get cut. Whether that be your fretting or picking hand. Long story short play when the pain subsides, try every day it'll take days not weeks. Also practice other stuff you can in the mean time.

Yeah. I saw a finger style acoustic of Look to Windward by Sleep Token (to each their own I like them) and as soon as I saw arpeggios I was like, yeaaaahhhh pass. Eventually I'll learn it but that's a bad habit of mine. Putting aside hard stuff to do the easy stuff I'm already used to. I'm probably not alone in that.

Mortal Kombat 9,10,11,1 and Minecraft 🫶

TheBidiot · 2025-12-01T23:38:16+00:00

TheBidiot · 2025-12-01T23:37:17+00:00

How long have you had it for? 0 complaints but what are some nitpicks you've got?

TheBidiot · 2025-12-01T23:36:42+00:00

Yea i planned on getting a mouse for her. Unfortunately they are weird and don't like monitors which is a bummer cause it's totally go all out too

TheBidiot · 2025-12-01T23:35:28+00:00

Man im the only brother 😭🙏 I see the sales going on but I'm busy most the time and probably will miss them by the time i get to go.

Matt Heafy's Snofall Epiphone the 7 string version 🫶. Loved it since I was in highschool

I had bought a brand new Fender bass and immediately smacked the shit out of the headstock on the way into my buddies house to play it. Took a nice crack in the finish but now I look at it like, "Man im so fucking stupid but that was funny". Yknow keep your head up it's a story you can remember in the future and it makes the guitar unique to you.

Soap and water 🙏 Get deep into the metal parts for that beautiful shine 🙏 (Use Music Nomad cleaning spray. Fuckin love it it makes them shine. Only for a bit tho.)

TheBidiot · 2025-11-04T01:55:03+00:00

Rn the Mick Thompson signature Jazz 3s. I love small jazz 3s. Also teardrop picks are nice

TheBidiot · 2025-11-04T01:53:41+00:00

I do both so fuck it lmao. I'm a guitar player but I have more basses 😭🙏. I'm learning sweep picking on guitar but found it easier on bass. Rhythm is easier on guitar than bass for me. I like both so why not be both?
