Hi.

Just came back from Tosin's clinic at Rumours.

How much would you be willing to pay for a prestige 8-string Ibanez?

That dude can play. Wish I video-ed it so that I could watch in Slow-Mo what he did afterwards...was so fast, it all went over my head. Very cool dude though.

Lethe

Was super impressive. Super technique and some crazy ideas he has. Rad looking guitar too and it seems he's a really nice guy. He was really suprised to see so many people there for his clinic.

Can't wait for Cape Town ?

If you could get your hands on a Prestige model signed by Tosin; how much would you be willing to pay?

As someone who owns an Ibanez 8 string prestige I can say that I did pay a lot ? Took me almost a year to pay the thing off. Doesn't matter though cause I love the living shit out of it! ?

Why do you keep on asking?

I find this fascinating as well, do you think he might believe that Tosin's signature makes it more valuable? Cause if he does then he is sorely mistaken.

Yeah, it was awesome. Like most of you have said - ridiculous technique and he seems like a really cool guy too. I thought he answered the questions really well and it was cool that he gave just enough background info to make the technical stuff (especially about the gear) a bit more accessible to the group in general.

I am not sure what an Ibanez 8 string goes for, but if he's scribbled on it I'd like a few thousand rand to be taken off the asking price.

It sounds like he won the Prestige they were giving away? What is the process for the competition anyway, simply show up, write your name?

yup

(quite a few replies)...

The axe that was given away is apparently actually a 6-string at each venue... The prestige models are his backup guitars. I was just interested in checking how much people would pay and IF I find one; how much I should set my "budget speech" for.
