That reminds me, nothing trips me up like seeing Cb on a chart.

Playing melody in thirds, fourths, etc.

I have a AMH90. The setup was pretty nice and the action was not an issue. I did replace the tuners and pickups. I actually replaced all the hardware, but mostly for aesthetics.

Has anyone seen the new Ibanez AMH90 yet?
