I saw that. It does look pretty cool, but I was wondering about tone and pickups... That has single coil, and I don't trust myself to install new ones, if that's what it comes down to.

Maybe. I dunno yet. On the first page, it says of what I'm looking for...
Basically, a bluesy-type, full sound, but also a versitile guitar. So would humbuckers be it? I don't know much about pickups; this will only be my second guitar xD

You're probably going to be happy with a strat, but it would be a good idea to check stuff out around the Ibanez site. Some of the guitars there are built with the humbucker-single-humbucker configuration and they include a 5 way switch that lets you "tap" the coils as you go through the positions. Other guitars let you tap the coils with a push pull pot. It makes a guitar so much more versatile this way.

Sachi_x What about this, then; A standart strat, standart strat HH, or a standart strat FR? Since tone has been debated a bit here, I'm just curious; the bright, clear tone of single-coil pickups, or the "darker", fuller sound of humbuckers? Maybe both? I really don't know much about pickups, so what do you think would be better for the bluesy, yet versitile, sound I'm looking for? That is to say I'm going with the strat, which hasn't been decided. I just want to consider more of my options. Maybe you should consider the Fat strat, which is HSS. That means you have a humbucker in the bridge, and you can have the bluesy, single coil sound in the neck position.

Metal_Maniac Why don't You check that 60th anniversary Strat, It Looks GORGEOUS! (however you spell it) If I had the chance I would but it. Well my strat is a 60th Anniversary, but it's a standard. It;s weird because my strat has the 60th anniversary medallion on the back of the headstock, but the serial number says that it is an '05. Does anyone know why this is?

Either that or it was sent off with the 06 batch and got sticked. Or they're just trying to nab a few bob off yah.

Ibanez is cool, but I don't know where to look. I know more about Fender, their prices, levels of guitars (good for beginner, good for more advanced), etc. Also, I know the strat is good, and pretty cheap, too. But with Ibanez, where would you suggest to look?

Fender, eh? You've got good taste wink
Well, if your price range is 400-700 dollars, you might be able to get a standard Stratocaster and have some cash left over. The American Standard Telecasters run about $900 or so.
I would definetley go with the Standard Strat. Just because it's a copied design isn't really a good reason not to like it. Just remember, even though it is copied, you've got the Fender name on it. It's the real McCoy, friend.

whee It was the same price as a normal standard, but It'll be worth more than normal standards in a few years. wink

I know it is xD And I certainly don't not like it; Ive wanted one for awhile, but wasn't sure exactly where to go. And thanks for all the replies; I think I'll end up with the standard strat for now, and the 60th anniversary is cool... I still have muhc time. Thanks again!

Entry level Ibanez would be one of the lower models of the RG or S series... If you're looking for the strat tone, however, you'll probably want to lean more toward an S model.
