Harmony Central in another light

[drop_d]

I was just over at Harmony Central reading the reviews of the Ibanez K7 Korn signature guitars. If you're having a bad day, I recommend checking it out. The reviews make great reading. It will make you glad you're an EBMM player and perhaps make you reconsider telling people you're a Korn fan.

'course you never know, now that EB has made whatsit from good charlotte a signature guitar we may not have to go over to HC for kicks anymore. . .

HaHa, I just looked up the K7, hillarious reviews.

Direct quote: "I have been playing for quite a while- I feel lucky to be able to afford top of the line gear. I love everything about it. Head and Munkey's patented U-bar works very well.
i bought it from ibanez through a local merchant- also where i take lessons. When the guitar came in and i went to pick it up, there was a large crowd of people- students and teachers alike- admiring this fine guitar- Few of them had ever seen one- only heard about them. They all wanted my guitar."

" . . . The glow in the dark dots…well there a bit crap really. In fact I
think they’re just stuck on. The lack of markings on the neck had had
me missing a few notes, and makes playing while drunk really difficult
(as I found out last night)


Nice and simple, but reassuringly expensive shall we say.

Sound: 10
Well I got mine second hand, and I think the strings are nackered. I
need to resting it, but never get round to it. I’ve played it mainly
unplugged, as I’m at uni and my amp is at home. Sounds nice. I did plug
it in once and it sounded amazing! One day I’m going to plug it in
again. Well it’s got DiMarzio and so it rocks. Wow, that sounds so
pretentious!
My amp is a bit on the crap side…actually my amp defines crap, so to
get a guitar to sound as good as this did is a bigger miracle than
waking on water. Oh, unlike every other reviewer here I DO LIKE
KORN!!!!!!! And yes, if you play korn on this guitar with the right
setup you will sound like korn. So if you want an idea of what it
sounds like with some effect put on it it sounds like this:
CHUG, CHUG, EEEEEE, CHUG, CHUG, EEEEEE
Which is nice . . . ."

Uni? Right . . .

"The only reason i got this guitar is because the petrucci 7strings and universes were going to take 3-6 months to be made and they had a K7 at the factory. I think its better than the universes but if there was a JPMM 7string with piezo sitting somewhere in the country i think it would win over."

She chose this guitar over a Petrucci, even through there was a 3-6 month wait on one, l would still have waited, l would wait 1 year (even longer) for a EBMM guitar than to take any other guitar they have in stock. But she did say she wanted one, but in my experience you are better off waiting for the guitar you really want (EBMM ), than some peice of **** guitar (Ibanez ).

My mate has an Ibanez, and it's cheap, it feels like crap, sounds like ****, and wouldn't even take one even if it was free.

Just my take.

EBMM FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Scott.

Until those peeps play a real MM, they'll continue to be lost puppies. They need to be converted immediately before they hurt themselves, or someone else.

I've never ever played an Ibanez that I liked. Either it felt strange, sometimes cheap, sometimes like a toy. Or if it felt passable, the tone was really dead to my ears.

When people say they love Ibanez I just have to take their word for it because I don't really get it. A new friend of mine told me a couple of weeks ago said that he's always been an Ibanez fan and the first thought in my head was, "Have you ever tried another kind of guitar?"

To each his own. I'm glad those folks have someplace to go to find their 6 or 7 string bliss.

I've always felt that "good Ibanez tone" was an oxymoron. I'd never buy an Ibanez, but I had several given to me over the years (usually a couple or three at a time as replacements for a "real guitar" that I loaned someone and they subsequently "lost"). I try them out, but end up just giving them to my kid. He plugs them into a metal zone and plays through a solid state amp (he also trashes guitars with astonishing regularity). Perfect. No need to use bone china at a picnic when dixie cups will do.

Wait a minute. . . I wonder if that was my kid writing reviews for Harmony Central . . . Alex? . . . Alex . . . ?

I take it then, your son doesn't get to play with Ernie?

Sometimes. But he doesn't take them out of the house.

An on the seventh day GOD created Ibanez,
