I think you should try before you buy, and i agree with what the last guy said, humbuckers are better. I've had 2 ibanez guitars; 1 cheap $150 giutar with S-S-H pickups, and the one i have now is a $600 ($400 on sale) guitar with H-S-H setup w/jumbo frets. Check out the Ibanez RG-series, they're in the same pricerange as the AT-200 you're thinking of buying. I like the colour of that guitar though. You should go to the Ibanez website, and try to find the guitar you like the most, and then try to find it in stores.
