Idiots

I just wanted to share this and maybe this has happened to other people as well, well it got me really pissed and I'm glad I'm South African. I recently bought a second hand Ibanez S540 guitar. I love it and as with everything I love I need to know as much as possible about it. So today I joined the "Official" Ibanez forum because that makes sense, and posted a thread asking questions like what it retailed for back in the day etc. Then I got a reply from this guy (cough, cough American cough) telling me to research stuff properly and use the search bar before a post which I always do. After searching I didn't find appropriate answers so I opened up a new thread. It came down to that I'm lazy and want other people to do my research for me. I mean really, what is the point of a forum then? Referring to Google searches? My view of a forum is to get opinions from knowledgeable people and people who had previous experiences with similar problems. To get to the point, South Africans have a lot better manners and I'm very grateful to the creators, moderators and contributors of this forum. I don't know if I'm allowed to post the link to the thread, so if you are interested in reading it, PM me and I'll send you the link.

That's a fine looking guitar Wantzchas. I really wouldn't care what anyone else thinks. She could live in my arms anyday. ?

Thanks a lot Mojo, you've pretty much answered all I asked and given me insightful info. The only other things I'd still like to know is what current S-series is similar to the 540S in terms of specs? And where will I find this Carnuba Wax? Hardware store?

I have the tremolo arm with the nylon crommets. R3500 is what I paid for it, so in my opinion a very good buy then.

I'm not 100% satisfied with action yet, my SA160 plays a bit easier UP TILL THE 15th FRET then the S540 just comes into it's own. So effortless to get sound out of high frets. I remembered always dissing Strats for the simple reason that everyone had one or something that looked like it until I one day played on a real American Strat then understood where quality begins. When playing on my S540 I experience that same feeling.

It really sounds good too. I'll upgrade the bridge humbucker one day I can get my hands on DiMarzio and have the money for it.

I won't do it myself, not at first anyway. I'll take it to a tech to do it for me.

O snap that is a nice guitar. :-] Interesting knobs on it as well.
