I'm an Ibanez Junkie, but have a word of caution on the 350DX... if you're the type of player who batters his kit, the RG may not be the guitar for you.

It has a 3 piece neck, and the headstock is a totally separate piece of wood than the rest of the neck. It will break alarmingly easily at the third fret if you smack it around.

I have 7 Ibanez guitars, and have only had one broken neck (in shipping - I didn't break it). They aren't weak as such, but are not as strong as a neck machined from a single piece of wood.

Not sure it'll cause you a problem, but thought it was worth a mention as you've said you're not too careful with your kit.... The trem is an Edge III rather than a proper floyd - not sure what tuning stability is like on them...
