Why I Would Rather Gouge My Own Eyes Out Than Play An Ibanez

Hmmmm. After much consideration & many years of playing (Mostly Fenders), I've come a simple conclusion. I will never, by my own free will or choice, choose to play a guitar made by Ibanez. For a few reasons.... Build quality. Having seen many many RG model electrics I just think they seem inferior? And the two buckers one single coil 'versatility' these things claim seems like a 'Stuff more bits in to fool people' philosophy. As for their high end models. One word. Ugly. And as for who plays them. Weeeelll, that brings me to the Main gripe I have with these things. Image. Image. Ibanez as a brand overall just speaks to me of 'heavy metal' wankery and overblown cock-rock guitarists. When I picture Ibanez I picture uncreative, speed obsessed, non-musical 'bands' making bland & uninteresting noise. (not good noise as one would find being thoughfully constructed by the likes of Sonic Youth, Battles, Mogwai or Slint) but rather terrible noise as you might hear from those mighty twats Vai & Satriani. I picture that self obsessed wanking when I picture Ibanez and it just puts me off. I might consider an entry level semi hollow like one of the Jet Kings as a spare guitar for kicks, but i guess if I really was that way inclined I would just do an epiphone casino or dot. I dunno man. Fenders for me. Some Gibsons, maybe a Rickenbacker. But no no Ibanez. ?

Positive statement: "Give that man a Bells."

Negative: "Give that Man an Ibanez"

I think you've just hit on a GFSA idiom.

If it were beers, I'd rather gouge my eyes out than drink Castle Lager. ?

If it were towns, I would rather gouge my eyes out than live in JHB ?

Maybe Mika can tell us how old Hollow axis is doing? And if he owns a nice pointy Ibby yet? ?

+1 Me too! Grew up there and don't miss it at all. Centurion is so much nicer but I dream of a coastal retirement in a year or 2 ?

I would rather have someone else gauge someone elses eyes out while I sit and play an Ibanez guitar. ?

I would rather eye out someone else gouge than drink an Ibanez while driving. ?

This going to end up with somebody saying "first gouge the Ibanez from thine own eye."

So I said it.
