First Ibanez!!
I used to be a Schecter guy, mainly because they weren’t too expensive second hand and I was broke, but I was doomscrolling marketplace and saw a really cool Ibanez, which was way out of my price range. I first asked my parents if they could but it for me, but they refused, saying “this is your 5th guitar this year yet I keep hearing you play the same shit you did 5 years ago.” So I had to get some extra money by tutoring my juniors some math and using that money and betting it on the World Cup, thankfully I didn’t lose the parlay and I finally found some time to get the guitar, and without hesitation, bought it on the spot. This will certainly not be the last ibanez I get. The flame on this thing is insane, no photos do it justice, I honestly should’ve went for a worse finish so I actually practice my guitar instead of admiring it.
