My first electric guitar

This model was used by Andy Timmons before he had a signature guitar. It is a 'Fender Stratocaster-type' guitar but with Ibanez's a very thin neck

I acquired it in a second hand store when I was 16, year 2007. I knew I wanted to buy an Ibanez but at the time even a regular RG seemed too expensive for me. Looking back, I am convinced I took the right choice with this RT, because this is an straightforward, affordable guitar with no Floyd Rose, perfect for an initiated; but since it is made in japan, you know it is better than the low-cost Indonesian and Chinese axes made nowdays. I sold it early this year.
