Ibanez BTB Club, Part 2!

@taygunov, I was just about to ask you guys a somewhat related question.
I am not yet a member of this club, but I intend on getting a [Invalid or Expired Link Removed]. I know that you cant get that model in the US, but does anyone have any experience with it?

The question I mentioned before is regarding the neck-through construction of BTBs. How easily are they affected by weather and climate? And how often do you have to setup it because of that?

I figured it would be better to ask here than to make a new thread. :)
 
Here is my beauty, I love her!!!!:p Also, I need a member # please.

I'm considering one what are the holy grail things to look for

A) neck-thru (great sustain)
B) Bartolini MkII pick-ups (& pre-amp)
C) you have some choices in wood/color & #of strings; nice string spacing (wide neck, not very "deep")
Some folks have sworn off the Korean-made versions - don't know the particulars (mine is Indonesian-made).
They are heavy, but well-balanced (no neck-dive); the Neutrik® locking output jack is placed in a way that "sittin' & a pickin'" can be a problem - even with a right-angle cable . . .
But, try one!
If you can - no one had one hangin' on a wall here in Denver.
I risked it on eBay . . .
