Hello Marty,
I just wanted to say first of all i'm a big fan, enjoy your music...I know you mentioned in one of your previous answers that you have been playing different ibanez guitars like the SZ and RG and others..Since you are know to play mostly neck thru guitars is the RG you are using a neck thru or bolt on and what do you prefer...The SZ is awesome guitar in it's self glad you picked to play on of those...Last question since leaving Jackson did you approach ibanez or did they, and how did it happen...thank you, and ROCK ON!!!

While I was recording Music for Speeding, I approached and was approached by several guitar companies, and had the unique opportunity to try a massive amount of different guitars in the studio. I wanted a guitar that could fulfill all my needs WITHOUT being custom made. That is a big point for me. Ibanez came out on top for me, and after tons of touring and recording with them, Im confident that I made the right choice.
