How do you compare the Ibanez RBM and Suhr model guitars?
The Ibanez RBM2NT with the Koa top is awesome. The rest of them suck. The Suhr is definitely a step above. Suhrs don't go out of tune (hell, I could go on forever about my Suhrs). If you have a chance to get the Koa one, you should factor into your decision the knowledge that those guitars are collector's items that are worth more every year. That said, the Suhr is a Rolls and the Koa is a really nice BMW.

What's the point of having the wood be Koa if he's using EMG actives?

@TallonIV776V Reb Beach says it's because it gives him the longest sustain of any wood he has found. Which he uses for his trade mark Tapping.

It's a great guitar but I wonder why Reb Beach stopped playing his Ibanez guitars?
Probably for endorsement reasons or something...

@MrDunkJunk He still owns some and plays them. He is now endorsed by Suhr. and Suhr makes way better guitars
