Damn! Stick with one to two questions for one post man! First of all, you need to actually play all the guitars you are thinking about buying before you'd actually start asking our opinions. Trust me, don't ever buy anything just because someone else says it's good. Maybe you wouldn't like Ibanez. But personally, I hate playing anything else unless it's custom made. If you can't play the exact guitars you want, at least try and find another guitar that company makes because they usually play pretty much the same.
