Thanks for all the advice thus far guys.
I have a good offer from a friend, whatcha think?:
"I have a nice used Ibanez Iceman IC300 with a Ibanez hard shell case and a loud nice sounding Randall 75 watt combo amp w 12" speaker . You can have it all for $250 cash . I have a new set of strings for the guitar and the ones that are on it are a few months old . I even have a good quality cord and some pics to toss in . I also put in a $100 . DP100fbk pick up in the bridge slot . It's their super distortion pick up and it's great for hard rock Heavymetal . I even have a guitar stand too"
The Ibeenhads are actually pretty good playing guitars a buddy of mine back in the metal years played one . He loved it , ah the old DiMarzio pickups they were good i preferred the EMGs personally . That sounds like a pretty good deal . you can always have a fret dress done and it will maximize the action on it unless its satisfactory as is. I don't know what it cost to have those done now a days and its been so long ago i would not remember anyway
