very nice thanks for helping choose. though you do deserve a better amp ;)

[ridefour15]

@InfiniteMisery003 Haha glad I could help. The amp used in this video is just my practice amp. For YouTube stuff I use a PodXT Live now, and I have a Peavey 6505+ through a Marshall 1960A for band stuff so I think I'm okay in the amp department :)

duncan JB is a killer bridge pickup paired with a 59 neck. \m/

[ralfcaetano]

yelow sounds better anyone notice the jb sounds better on a maple fretboard

[anurags]

hi, what are the other pickups on the neck and middle on both the guitars?

[Pmichteinz]

the rg has a basswood body right?

[98superglide1]

If you have a floyd type trem get the brass block from floyrose upgrades .com to help with sustain

[flymyv]

RG220 have darker tone than the RG350 due to the nature of the rosewood fretboard with no front routing(more wood more tonal). The RG350 having maple fretboard & pickguard like strat makes sound much brighter. Since pu is same neither f-spacing influence the tone except with change in pickup height. For me RG220 is more metal whilst RG350 bit modern in sound.

fuck yes! Deliverence!

[jclar146]

btw you are the most precise picker ive ever seen!! great job man!

[jclar146]

the guitar with white pickups sounds sharper i reckon. and the yellow guitar sounds fatter

[jasonism123]

should i buy F-spaced pickups for an Ibanez RG guitar? I'm planning to get Ibanez RGR321EX or RGT6EXFX..is it still ok if I buy the normal pickups (dimarzio)? is the sh-4 ok with your rg350m?

[ridefour15]

@jasonism123 it depends what kind of bridge you have. if it has a fixed bridge (which i think the RGT6EXFX has) then you can use a regular, if it has a floating bridge (aka floyd rose style) you can use f-spaced. you don't NEED f-spaced pickups but it makes the poles line up better, so it is okay to buy non f-spaced pickups for a floating bridge guitar

i didn't like the sh-4 in the rg350m, but i like it a lot in three other guitars of mine that have it.

[jasonism123]

@ridefour15 thanks for the info, I'll try to get the f-spaced if they're in stock. Yeah, I like fixed bridges for better sustain,but I miss using a tremolo sometimes.

[dmohr7]

@ridefour15 does F - spaced also count for edge 3 tremelos?

[bcrichjageraxe]

@jasonism123 as ridefour15 stated, you dont have to have F-spaced pickups...far as the brand of which pickup and model you go for, that all comes down to what tone you want from them as well as the guitar...personally i prefer DiMarzio and Seymour Duncan on any guitar, but varies upon the wood and what you intend to tuse that guitar for. ie wouldnt want an EMG 81 for blues n country n such...just small things to consider, look around for what tone you prefer mate, cheers

[Schpudd]

they should sound almost identical, are the pickup heights similar?

[ridefour15]

@Schpudd I had set everything as identical as possible, even disconnecting tone knobs. Only difference between the pickups was the pole spacing. This is why I was so baffled by it.

[ziger824]

@ridefour15 it might be because of the fretboards, maple usually sounds brighter than rosewood.

[TheTheGatman]

Haha, I bought my Yellow Ibanez ladt month and I just bought a JB for this guitar Yesterday ahah

[squirttilithurts]

yellow sounds better

[UnchainTheNight1]

both guitars are a little out of tune, the rg350mye is better imo

[mikeduby15]

ha, you posted this on my birthday of last year, and i just ordered this guitar yesterday.

[youaergay]

yellow for me.

[Kaelan66]

i prefer the rg350 all around

[Z0ul0u]

Yeah I think there's a difference. My impressions : I like the black one when distorted and the yellow on clean settings...

[Lycanthrobby]

It's the fact that the 350m is front routed. I've owned close to about 10 RGs and noticed the same thing. The absence of extra paint and wood will do it.

[D35J4RD1N5]

also the maple fingerboard would alter the tone
