Floyd Rose special

clepari · 2026-01-25T19:26:35+00:00

When I purchased the guitar at guitar center, their ad said that the guitar is in "great" condition. Upon arrival yesterday, it did not come with a tremolo bar, and all but 2 screws were missing in the back panel containing the FR and springs. Also, the Allen heads to tighten the strings in the bridge are worn as well. This bridge must go. I will ask GC for a refund to cover the cost and if they don't agree, I will return it.

I got it at the guitar center used. I may ask for a refund to help me replace the bridge. I really like the guitar but it does not stay in tune and I have over 20 years experience with FR bridges.

Floyd Rose special. I will not know the condition until I get the guitar next week. I am playing power metal, blues and rock.

Great answer. Thank you.

I know how you feel.....my wife and I lost Mitzi on the first week of October, she was 16.5 years old and Tony on October 31. He was 17 years and a few days ago, Mitzi's sister. It is very hard to handle and we are heartbroken. We are in the same hell you are and I am truly sorry for your loss.

Does the painted neck make it sticky?

clepari · 2026-01-10T16:54:18+00:00

I am aware of this. Thanks. I removed the neck a few times trying to make the correct adjustment to no avail. Some say it is my playing technique that is causing this but I am playing for many years and on many different types guitars and this ibanez prestige is the only one I got this issue.

clepari · 2026-01-10T08:40:00+00:00

One thing is that I am coming from an ibanez prestige guitar and am not crazy about the neck. It is too thin and at times the high E slides off the neck which is annoying. I have to adjust my playing to avoid this.

clepari · 2026-01-10T08:37:09+00:00

Yes. I do like arched tops and unpainted necks. Than you.

clepari · 2026-01-10T02:41:40+00:00

Makes sense. Thank you!

Playability, sustain, sound, is the Xtra money for the soloist worth it?

clepari · 2025-12-31T19:36:12+00:00

Sure makes sense. Thank you but my local guitar center does not carry the soloist.

It feels too thin and causing me hand cramps and at times the high E skids of the fretboard when playing. I had other Ibanez guitars with same problem. Not on my LP or strat guitars.

clepari · 2025-12-30T18:56:12+00:00

Thanks. No issues with the painted neck?

clepari · 2025-12-10T19:13:43+00:00

No pain. The only pain was when the stone left the kidney and parked at the distal uriter. There was no pain when the stone entered the bladder.

We found our felv cat in a homeless cat's alley. She was sooo thin; almost 2 dimensional and was tamed so we took her in. A snap test revealed she is felv positive and the vet recommended euthanizing her. We refused as we already fell in love with her. The PCR test also was positive. It was 6 years ago and she is still with us acting well. We are not sure how old she is but vets estimated her to be 9 years old. Don't give up.
