Hi guys new here so thought i would start off with some pics of my new shortie, first off let me say that i have had em all (guitars that is, not women) Epi's Gibson's Squier's Fender's Paul Reed Smith, to name a few, i have wasted a small fortune on guitars that i initially thought were the right choice but in the end i always found something to cry about when it came to comfort until i came across the Ibanez ORM1, this thing is super comfy and at present i can't see me wanting anything else, this thing is definitely a keeper.
I had planned on switching the pickup for a P-90, preferably from a PRS SE One (in my opinion one of the best sounding P-90s out there) but the stock pickup is actually pretty good, i am in the process of switching the tuners out for Sperzel type locking tuners but the shop sent 6 tuners to fit the low E side of the headstock so i'm waiting for the high E side to be sent out, anyway here is some pics.
BTW, I have also fitted a strap button to the upper horn.
Welcome to the forum.
I imagine that plays nice, Ibanez quality is awesome even on budget models. The black/red tort model caught my eye a while back.
Do you miss the Tone control at all?
Well, i kinda got used to no tone control when i had the PRS SE One, just fiddle with amp and pedal settings to compensate, having said that there is plenty of room under the pickguard to add a tone control. i still wouldn't mind the PRS P-90 but finding one is proving difficult.
Thanks Thomas, why not go try one out, i've got to say.... these guitars are a perfect example that you don't need to spend big bucks to get good kit, the Chinese are upping their game i reckon.
I really like these. Way more than any other recent new guitars I can think of. There are some Squiers that have tempted me and a few others but this one seems to grab me by the balls and shout 'buy me.
The problem is that I really want to only have as many guitars as are necessary, a properly stripped-down setup. There are already some guitars I love and can see myself buying at some point that I'm trying to ignore. I don't really need another on that list.
It is nice though, and the colour combo is pure win. I think I may just prefer the natural/tort version that Omar guy had but there's not a lot in it.
