I just want to inherit a vintage hollow D'Aquisto and create inventive, yet mellow, yet incisive fingerstyle ballads that will herald (and also come to define) the coming age of peace and justice.

Really want to buy an ibanez and just shred
There was an Ibanez or Jackson something or other with a pointy headstock and a Floyd Rose and a 15" fingerboard radius for like $150 on Craigslist that I thought pretty hard about. If I wasn't moving soon I might have gone for it

I still love the Ibanez RGs.
I ordered an offset Duo-Sonic at the back end of last month and the dealer thought it might take three or four days to come in. Over the course of the last five weeks, they haven't received a single Fender guitar or accessory. There's a new EU restriction in place on the import of rosewood - it was announced mid-2016 and brought into effect in February this year. From the sound of it, Fender haven't got their act together to confirm their CITES license so can't import anything with a rosewood board to Europe. They have kept shipping them though - so everything is getting seized by Customs - including non-rosewood guitars / accessories in the same packages.
Other companies seem to be in the same situation - so there are tens of thousands of guitars held at the UK border with no suggestion of when they might ever be released.

I've just seen that Fender will now manufacture most of their guitars with pau ferro rather than rosewood - so goodness knows when they might be ready.

Of course, having finished typing, i got a call that it had arrived.

Yeah, the CITES thing is global. The stores that were sending used Japanese Fender and Gibson copies to the American market got stuck for quite a while unable to ship.

Love the RG series and this marketing copy: "Three decades of metal have forged this high-performance machine"
