Played on a Crate FXT65 today with an Ibanez and Jackson. Not sure of the models on the guitars. It was a low end Ibanez and a $500 Jackson. I can honestly say I like my Strat better than the Ibanez, but as I said it wasnt anything expensive or special. I did like the Crate though. Sweet effects. Ill prolly get it unless you guys steer me somewhere else and the price is right.
