Ibanez MTM2 + EMG81/85 any good?

loktide · 11-27-2007, 11:37 AM

i really liked the mtm1 i got to play once, but i simply prefer the finish of the mtm2. I would be installing a 81/85 set in it for sure, so that's not an issue. I'm mostly concerned about the overall quality of this guitar as its almost a third of the mtm1 price...

so how does a mtm2 with a 81/85 set compare to the MTM1 (besides the neck-joint obviously)

thx, dudes!

i'm curious about this as well.... i'd take either the 1 or 2, but the mtm1's inlay i just cant get past... yet

Hard to tell, if the wood isn't shit it will be nice

i've been using one to test amps and stuff lately when i havent brought my rgt with me.

its a suprisingly good guitar for the $.
the fretwork was excellent, and it just played near perfect.
granted, i doubt all of them will come out this way, quality control isnt as excelent with the mtm2. but that doesnt mean you cant find a good one, and it does mean that if you get one that isnt as nice, it can be made nice with a good setup.

personally i think the cherry red on the mtm1 is eye sex(the good kind) why don't you just get the mtm1 and have it resprayed?

ibznorange · 11-28-2007, 02:57 AM

lol expensive + expensive = expensive. and its a seven 6 string.
its confounding!
that would be my reasoning.
lol and haunted, wtf is your sig?

loktide · 11-28-2007, 03:17 AM

i dig both finishes, so i wouldn't be respraying a MTM1 anyway. The only thing i dislike about the mtm1 is the retarded inlay. I could live with it, though.
My main argument for getting a mtm2 over the mtm1 is the price and that i already own a good 6-string (duncan-loaded rg3120) that'll most likely remain my main anyway...

ibznorange · 11-28-2007, 03:30 AM

oh. is that a jcustom? cause i hate you if it is.
psh. yeah get the mtm2 dude
its solid, worst case scenario youd have to get the frets crowned and shit, thats only 100 including a full setup.

loktide · 11-28-2007, 04:19 AM

no, it's a '99 prestige rg3120 (mahagony+maple top)

i believe if was one of the first (if not the first) prestige model made by ibanez

MTM2 is an awesome guitar. I agree with ibznorange, in the fact that the fretwork is fantab and there are no fucking dot inlays!
