Whaddayaknow, I have an RG 350 DX myself. I'm hoping to get hold of a higher-end Ibanez (that is to say, a Prestige or one of the new Premium models) somewhere down the line. Most important piece of gear I own by far though is the Line 6 Pod X3 Pro rackmount unit, very versatile piece of gear. I also have a Marshall practice amp and a crappy old BC Rich that I bought as my first guitar, plus a Yamaha keyboard that I can't play at the moment because I lost the adapter (luckily there's an electric piano in my house that I can use for occasional practice).
Why does everyone have an RG 350 DX? I do too, and so does one of my friends (he accused me of ripping him off when I got mine, even though I didn't know about his).
There are snakes in the grass, so we'd better go hunting!My alto and tenor saxophones are fairly standard Yamaha horns, which are fine for me. I have metallic Otto Link six-star mouthpieces for both instruments and I prefer LaVoz reeds. My seldom-played clarinet is also Yamaha-made, though I don't think I'll ever bother with an expensive mouthpiece for it.
Come to think of it, my keyboard is a Yamaha product as well.
My guitar is a plain old Squier stratocaster. Since I'm pretty much a beginner, there wasn't any need to spend a lot of money on a really top class instrument.
Drum stuff
- TAMA Swingstar 4-piece shell set (bass drum and 3 toms) w/ Remo Clear Pinstripe heads
- Mapex Steel Black Panther snare w/ Remo Coated Ambassador head
- TAMA Iron Cobra Power Glide kick pedal
- Agop Istanbul X-ist 14" hi-hats
- Zildjian ZXT Titanium 20" Medium ride cymbal
- Hammerax 19" Liquicy cymbal
- Zildjian A Custom 18" crash cymbal
- Zildjian K China Boy 19" china cymbal
- Roland TD-4KX electric kit
and I prefer to use Vic Firth 5BN or 5AN hickory sticks. I did use Pro-Mark Shira Kashi Oak sticks for a while, but the nylon-tip versions were too hard to get hold of, and nylon tips just last longer
... yeah, drums is an expensive hobby...

Because RG's are beasts. In fact, pretty much everything from Ibanez is.
Anyway I mostly use my Starcaster for clean tones and just playing bluesy or jazzy tunes. The RG is for...pretty much pretending that I'm Steve Vai...I really want a JEM. Besides that I have an old classical guitar, that I got as my starting guitar.
My Peavey amp, I got from my photography teacher for only $150, before that I just had a plain old Micro Cube Amp.
I used to have an old Yamaha keyboard, but my parents tossed it out because it wasn't used.
