I demo'd it briefly as I was in a hurry, and didn't notice a few little things until I got it home. Good luck! follow your gut feeling when you play the guitar and let us know. But I guess you'd like some other things beside EMG

if you decide going active EMG it is my understanding that it is a more comlex case as you will probably have to replace all the pickups if you want to keep full functionality, correct me if I'm wrong. easy to find a used ToneZone or something like that. But changing a pickup if you love the guitar. The ones I heard in a dessert yellow 25th anniv RG I tried a while ago where too undefined and thin for me.

Pickup wise, these IBZ dimarzio's are an average production deal Ibanez has with Dimarzio, very all round. If you like thin necks and flat fretboards (I love it) this is a no brainer, but that is of course very personal. Playabilty is very good, you can get low action. Quality wise they are quite unbeatable for the price. You could try to squeeze 100 offĪs far as the guitar concerned, RG's have always been my home base. If it is really that mint, case and all included, it sounds like a nice price. Please let me know your opinions (good or bad)Īs an EMG guy will I hate the Dimarzio pickups? Ibanez RG Prestige Series RG2550Z Electric Guitar with Edge Zero Tremolo and Deluxe Case - Galaxy Black Finish - Axe Music Canadian Online Music Store Guitars Bass Drums DJ Vancouver Toronto Montreal Canada From the pictures he has it looks like it hasn't even been used at all really.Īnyways $800 CDN for this one comes with hardshell case even. The seller is the original owner and it has never left his home studio apparently.

I know that it will be of decent quality, it's a prestige model. I've never spent time with an Ibanez, the majority of my guitars are ESP's and BC Rich, however I know they are shedder guitars, which should be perfect for my classic metal stuff. Musicians Friend has 22 reviews but since it's been discontinued you can't read the reviews. I tried to find some reviews on the net, but all I could find where sites reposting specs and reposting the same ad jargon. I am going to see it and try it out on Thursday. I have come upon a good deal, just wanted to know if anyone here can offer some feedback on the guitar.
