Glad to see you got something from it Bro. Once again, that's just my opinion. You will know the right choice to make that's best for you. Just follow your instinct and weigh out the balance. Seeking out more knowledge to make your decision is proof enough for me that will make the right decision that's best for your circumstance.

I'm just relieved that I didn't receive negative rep points (the Dreaded Red) from the snide River dance remark!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They giveth and then taketh away occasionally.

The reissue of the Ibanez RG550 (popular Metal Axe in the 80's) would be my choice. I believe it's called the RG550XX, 20th Anniversary Edition.
