Are you small-body semi-hollow axe with a Floyd Rose and a D-Tuner cool?

Eh?

She's an Ibanez AM75 (circa 1986). I also have an '84 AM50 (it's a stoptail version - same body). The neck is so easy to play, she spoils me rotten. After playing this guitar, I have a hell of a time playing any other guitar. The pickups are not EMGs, they are passive DiMarzios that look just like EMGs and they are very high gain, with incredible clean tones.

Very nice Dante, Ibenez made some very nice guitars back then.  My second ever guitar was a 2nd hand Navarra Les Paul, Navarra was allegedly a pre cursor to Ibenez.
I have a similar issue with my Tom Anderson Pro Am, it's so nice and easy to play that all my other guitars are harder.

Oh yeah, went through that on my '78 Kawai F1-Jr.  Prior to that I had some very nice guitars before I got that one (including an Ibanez Musician MC400 & Guild S-300).  But I sold off most every one of those instruments because that neck just made the others just frustrating.  It's my benchmark for all other guitars that I own, and now all of my instruments have good, fluid necks and fretboards because of how thoroughly I became spoiled with it. Easily the most fluid chunky neck ever.  Currently tuned C Standard with 12s.

Dante, I played an '83 AM255 with the original vibrato system recently.  I agree with you on the cleans, WOW they were nice with depth.  I ended up getting a Carvin SH-225 instead though.

I definitely want to see what else pops up on this thread.

Same to you and the Tom Anderson, I wish I could drop the cash on one! I already have enought instruments as it is.

That Kawai looks an awful lot like a Musician ;)

Very sweet guitar, I'm looking forward to what else shows up in here too

I had a semi hollow Les Paul that I wish I would have never sold. Hardly ever see one for sale now days.
