Let me ask you this,out of the 2 choice, are both made in Korea or is one of them made in Japan??

that would be my first indicator for choice.
Pups etc can always be swapped out.

Things to look for:
MIJ guitars, Edge trems or Edge Lo Pro
Colors not specifiic
Ebony or reosewood board preference,,
22/24 fret preference
Fret board radius sculpted to your style of music
etc

Things to avoid:
MIK or MI China,
Lo TRS trems or TRS II trems
poor grain in the fetboard wood.

For an extra 100-200 you could upgrade to a prestige japanese Ibanez with MUCh higher quality than the 2 you are considerring.
And minty ones have been had on ebay for 450-699 range...

Just a thought

Wink

Well I decide on the RG350DX and put a Seymour Duncan JB in the bridge.. I think I made a really good decision..

The top five songs were done with the rg350dx after the pickup change..
