Georgia on my mind

Ibanez makes wood bridges for similar sized bodies (GB models) (quite costly). I tried Göldo HW155 which did not fit my guitar very well (less costly). It is now taking space in my parts box. I...

Ibanez AG95 / Fender Mustang GTX Metallic Sound

Potayto potahto? BTW, there's a clear b13 there too, in case you missed it. Sounds legit! In seriousness that's a profound point about musical analysis. No of course not, and anyone...

o.k., but do we know that he was thinking in terms of a scale there vs. playing b9ths over the Am7b5/D7 chords? - it's perhaps the most common altered tone for these chords.

I would go as far as saying that Ibanez is one of the most cutting edge, large and modern guitar factories out there. Fender and Gibson rely heavily on nostalgia to drive sales. I don't think of...
