N1 ako pre.  We've had an N1 for 12 years hanggang ngayon satisfied pa rin kami sa tunog.

Cool, is the N1 solid bodied or wood laminated?

Solid pero hindi 1 pc lang.  2 pieces yung body.  Kita mo yung joint sa ilalim ng pintura.

I may be off-base here but I own an N2, so there already may be inherent similarities between that and the N1 at least in terms of body contour and neck.  So from that angle alone, I could say these about the guitar:  

1.  I love the body size.  It's well-proportioned for not-so-tall people like me.

2.  Wide frets are the best on these models.  I also love the thin neck.  My hands don't get killed when I'm doing long stretches of barre chords on songs.

3.  the spacings between strings are great for shredding, at least for me.  I tend to have problems with my Strat when doing alternate picking runs only because I end up slipping into an adjacent string with my pick.  That's not the case with the N-series.

it depends din kung anong gusto mong iproject na tunog.. commonly ibanez uses basswood bodies. and rg's eh matulis ang tunog.. alder ata ang body ny nuno's (pls correct me if wrong) medyo mabigat yun.. 8)

Ang problema ko lang sa N2 is lagi ko tinatamaan accidentally yung toggle switch.

Other than that, wala na.
