I'm after playability.
As far as I'm concerned.. Jackson has produced one guitar in the last 20 years that I like (its fantastic of course).
Ibanez on the other hand, has made the...
Ghostrider (my favorite)
Artist
FGM (Frank Gambale)
And of course the Universe, which although isn't exactly my favorite.. its one of the best 7 string guitars you can buy.
Of course, all the RG/S series type models aside.. I'm putting my money on Ibanez because of the Artist, and later the awesome (but rare, and not made anymore) Ghostrider.
