Question what is the most common ibanez brad nowell played? Most importantly where can i get one he played?
Answer Ibanez s-470..he played a custom .but you can still get a s-470 for about 600-700 bucks.I bought one about 6 months ago and i love the thing.I put in a semour deuncan JB-1 in the bridge(jeff beck) and a semour duncan jazz in the neck position and the thing sounds great. In brad's custom guitar built by his tech dan macdonald he had a JB in it..so i went with it on a whim..i was not let down.
Actually semour duncan himself thinks the jb/jazz humbucker combo is the best...and i'd have to agree with him...i love the sound of my s-470..plus it's a fun and fast guitar to play.
Go ahead and get one...play it stock and if you feel to upgrade throw a JB in the bridge for sure,..hope this helps,,.,.take care,.,.,.andy=}
Check out sam ash or guitar center..they should have one in stock or a model real similar..the RG series and The S series are pretty similar and i'm sure any guitar store you vist will have one or the other model wise.
