Imagine that, let’s say, Fender or Gibson or Ibanez or whoever you would like would approach you and ask you for a custom electric guitar design because they would like to start a new line featuring John Doe’s design (no offense, I hope, we are all great people but probably compared to those ones putting their names on guitars, we are John Doe). What would you put into it? I know you look up to those custom guitars of some big shot player, but did you ever think about what would you put into you own custom electric guitar?

First of all, who would be the manufacturer? Will it be Fender? Will it be Gibson? Will it be Ibanez? Will it be Danelectro? (I put it here since I had reactions on the post about Danelectro Longhorn)

Second, what would you put on it? This post could also be called build your perfect electric guitar! Let’s see a few people answering that question: Jon of GuitarNoize.com, GuitarMX.com, JP of Strat-O-Blogster (by the way, I don’t think he would chose an Ibanez or a Gibson, I just have a feeling), Lori of Play like a girl, if she finds the time, GLW from guitarz.blogspot.com and everybody else.

By the way, Stumble this please!

This article could have been named “How to buy an electric guitar” but it isn’t. It isn’t because I have no clue about which would be those great things to check when buying an electric guitar, because I consider that no matter what, the sound comes before anything. I just know that I tried to find out from the internet, I have tried to follow my heart and still I can not make up my mind. So I have named my article How NOT to buy an electric guitar! So:

For a long time, I am a big fan of Ibanez electric guitars. I just love Ibanez guitars, for me they are like the best thing a guitar player can have. Of course, if you love electric guitars, you have such a fetish too for some brand or an other

So, after fantasizing about Joe Satriani’s models and about Vai’s JEM 7V I lowered my expectations a bit and I kind of made up my mind about what guitar should I buy. I decided on Ibanez RGX350DX, white as milk and beautiful. It won in front of Ibanez S520EX which was my next choice. However, I could not just buy it without listening to it. Unfortunately, here in Romania, there are not too many places you can go to really test an electric guitar before buying and more than this, to test a particular model would be kind of a great chance.
