Ibanez Destroyer DT520 Black:

I found a 1984 Ibanez Destroyer II DT555 Hardtail, Black with full Creme Binding, 3 piece abalone fretboard inlay, 3 creme humbuckers and all gold trim....I think I'm a little dizzy...
 
So I run the serial number...built at Terada Musical Instrument Co., Ltd. of Japan January 1984 production #3 artist series
 
I dont NEED ANY OF THEM---- I MIGHT could justify 1 guitar and 1 bass......based on my skill level....HOWEVER --screw "need" , we are AMERICANS.....we WANT poop and we GET poop.......the entire world economy is driven on our ravenous, gluttonous desire for MORE poop !!! ---places to store and house our poop---upkeep our poop--- and discard our poop so we can BUY MORE poop----

if you DONT buy this guitar ----you sir are UN American!

I don't like middle humbuckers or gold hardware but a full-size Ibanez Destroyer with a Floyd would be very nice indeed

Well...its been 33 years since I had my DT555. I don't remember how the Floyd behaved, but I play more dramatic bends now, including bending the 'G' while simultaneously plucking the un-bent 'e' so I don't know how that would work for me now...

I may be missing something (usually the case) but I fail to see how a functioning trem of any model would alter effect or derail your bending G while plucking open E ???? Please enlighten me to how this will make any difference????

I have tried it on my Jaguar (old school fender trem) and on a Lester with hard tail.......and.....sounds the same to me ---or damn close....................

Ok,

When playing AC/DC covers, Angus will often bend the 'G,' lets say at the 14th, then simultaneously pluck the 'e' at another fret without bending it, to produce a harmony.

But on a Floyd, when you bend the 'G' (in this example) the other strings go flat...
 
why do the other strings go flat?????

Do the other strings go flat on ALL tremelo equipped guitars when bending a given string?

NOT being a dick---just trying to learn......

Yes.

The Floyd "floats" so the tension of the spring balanced the tension of the springs.

If you bend any string, the others go flat...if you break a string...the others go flat...
 
So here is a nifty idea.............use the Ibanez with floyd for songs that use/need require trem.......grab the SG for doing that Angus bend pluck thing....on what 1 or 2 songs??? ...problem solved.

The fun of having multiple guitars that due different things......is well you HAVE multiple guitars that DO different things.....no one guitar can possibly do everything 100% all the time........

ANgus does not dive bomb like Eddie.....(he cant) ...and Eddie doesnt pluck open e while bending "G" or maybe he does who knows........
And Charlie Star has a B bender on his Tele......but not on his Les Paul.......

but you get the point eh?
