Damn... its all abalam and self adhesive foil? shame on you ibanez...

Double Shame, those guitars cost $4000 new :D

...and then people are so quick to say "Shame on Gibson" for charging $2000 for a guitar with REAL binding.

I know. I stopped buying Ibanez guitars. My last one was in 1988 - a JEM77RB. I wanted another one two years ago and just made it myself (assembled) with a Korina body from Jim Donahue and a Wizard neck.

I do think that Gibsons are overpriced though. Look at the quality of the finish on the headstock and where the neck joins the body on a LP. Orange peel everywhere. Up here, in Canada, a decent LP Standard goes for 2400 new + 14% tax. Too much for a mass produced guitar IMO.

:D
