Damn, that guitar sounded nothing like i expected!
Am currently thinking of buying it online, although i`m very skeptical with buying expensive and costly things online :/
How far can you de-tune this guitar?
Do the strings buzz at the high or low frets?
I hope that your amp isn`t worth 1000000 and that you didn`t jinx the whole guitar, though, all in all, the strings sounded slightly loose if you ask me..am seriously thinking about buying this slick looking and hardcore guitar :)
Dude, I got the RG350MYE a few months ago, and then I saw this guitar, and nearly pissed myself. I like it just as much if not more than the MYE, but I can't believe this one's only $360 when the MYE was $400.
Just got mine today. Awesome guitar!!! The neck is incredibly flat and fast compared to my ESP/LTD MH103 which has more round back of the neck but I also like very much the way it feels. I guess as they say no single guitar can give you everything. But this guitar surpasses all expectations in terms of ease of play, looks, and sound. Also very nice price. Check out ebayer guitar_shack_416 item 120649392537. For only $330 bucks!!! Love this store and their inventory.
Are you running the stock pickups in that guitar during this video? Because in my humble opinion I think that they are not suited to that heavy tone that you have, and more suited to a smoother tone like Steve Vai's. If that guitar was mine and I was going for that heavy tone I would replace them with, maybe not Actives, but chunky pickups suited to that style, maybe a Duncan 59' or something. Anyway man, kickass review; keep that shit going. Later
I have had three of these and they all had quality issues. One had a stripped mounting screw on the locker on the head stock. One was shipped to me with the wrong neck . One had two bad frets at 19 and 20. All three were bought new online form Guitar Center. However, it does play and sound OK. Just below average quality control at Ibanez.
Great review. I was thinking about getting this but I'm torn between this one (or rather, a similar model) and the Jackson DXMG or an Ibanez ART2EX1. I wanted something that is versatile but has a bit more of a heavier metal edge to it similar to bands like SYL.
Nice review man! I had a cheap RG model years ago and it honestly wasn't very good. It seems that Ibanez has done a good touch up job on its RG line. They can be awesome guitars. I own an old ST 300 Ibanez and I wouldn't trade it for the world. By the way, Jacksons rock!!!
i would have bought this guitar today if it wasnt excluded from the guitar center black friday deal. i also like the rg350dx because it comes in white and i already have a black les paul-is this guitar the same as the rg350dx?
I've got the exact same guitar, and I must say it is the best bang for your buck, not too expensive, my only issue I had was a bad buzz from the pickups when the selector was in the middle position. got it fixed and have had no problems since.
@robodingding At the time I was using a Boss GT6 and don't remember too well the settings, I know I was using a Roland JC amp model, I generally use a decent helping of bass , mids around 12:00, and treble to flavor. Hope that helps.
Firstly wicked goatie m8 (just thought I would mention it) :). That was a useful and honest review. I especially enjoyed the clean licks. I detected a classical-flamenco flavour and amazingly, there was a distinct acoustic feel to the tone. Brilliant stuff! Cheers
@BornNonconformist Thanks much for the kind words! I really appreciate them, Thanks Bro :) I am actually a little more classically trained than I am blues trained and I did study flamenco for about 3 months from a guy that was a brilliant classical musician :) He didn't want to teach me because I had already been playing for 8 years and he didn't feel there much left for me to learn, But I assured him we all have more to learn, so it was a good experience :)
You're welcome m8, I truly enjoyed and appreciated the review. I am partial to practically anything played skilfully on a guitar and although I prefer blues, I am a huge fan of classical and flamenco. I was simply astounded that a hard core rock/metal-oriented guitar such as an Ibanez RG350 can be tamed to produce such a serene classical tone. Its testimony to your skills I reckon :). Once again top job. Cheers :).
@DimeIsGod456 I think these ones were 10-42 Ernie Balls, Maybe GHS I don't really remember which. I now have a Dean Black Gold V and I'm using 11-48's on that. I will probably do a video soon with the Ibanez to show how to properly detune the guitar and make the proper tension adjustments on the guitar.
Very nice review. Awesome playing...love the scales. I just got my RG350MDX yesterday from ZZounds and I am extremely happy. I too chose it because of the maple fingerboard. Found one for sale blemished (although I haven't found a single scratch on it yet) for a steal @ $299.00.
@itreanor I think Ibanez makes a fine Instrument for sure :) Were you referring to the Ibanez RG350M? They make that in a blue and yellow and it goes for around $400 I think :)
@itreanor well there was a Yellow one at a guitar store around here and it was going for about $300. really a great price for such a versatile (and not to mention beautiful) guitar. This one is great, but before I buy one or the other I'm gonna try this and a RG470AH at a guitar center before i choose. Always gotta try them with your own preferred amp and effects first to see how it works with them. Never buy it unless you try it!
This is actually a realy good review, nice work. And some nice guitar playing at that! Thanks. And yes choosing the "right" guitar is down to what is right for you.
most people with problems with the bridge are probably resting their hand on it, or bumping it while plucking sometimes. thats what i was doing at first, i thought there was a prob but its easily avoided. great vid great songs
i have the same ibanez but with a full maple neck, the mdx. i want to swap the pickups out for emgs what do recommend? 81/single/60 or 81/single/85? i dont know which one will sound better with that single in the center. what do you think?
yer clean stuff reminds me of kirk hammet, i like it. but i gotta question, is it a good guitar for shredding? i mean i have a kramer guitar with a maple fretboard and idk i cant shred on it but i blame its action, would u recomend this guitar for someone who shreds n sweep picks often?
question, how good is the edgeIII in tuning stability. i read on a forum that eventually it craps out after a few months to the point where it doesn't reset to zero. good review by the way, planning on getting myself a RG350QM in red burst soon because of the review.
@XAlphaZEROX I honestly have had no such experience personally. I've had it for more than 2 years and I play it ALL THE TIME, so I don't know why someone would say that unless they don't know how to properly set up a guitar. Hope that helps, Thanks for watching!
im about to buy a 350dx, people say the tremolo (edge III) sucks and it cant play in d tuning. is it like that? i was going to look into getting a fixed bridge but they dont have a middle pickup
i know somebody already asked a similar questions but after you set it up did it buzz AT ALL, also i wanted to know if when you stand up with the guitar if the neck dives,one more thing what size strings do you use.
@joeperry47 Once any guitar is set up properly it shouldn't buzz.. Neck does not dive, it's not that heavy really. String size is dependent on what I'm tuned to. If I go to C# I'm using 11's, If' I'm in standard tuning I use 9's or 10's.
@maggotman94 I would definitely get it for that amount :) I used a Boss GT6 for this video, Just ordered a Digitech RP500 though, will be here later in the week :)
Thanks for replying and your video looks awesome. The guitar looks way cool aswell sounds pretty neat but I dont think Ibanez fits my style of playing.
Thats a great sound on that cheap little thing. I've been wanting an RG for awhile now and the RG350 is right in my price range (I want a prestiege but damn expensive)
My dad gave me his old (broken) original 72 deluxe tele that had some 20 yr old Dimarzio DP100/DP150's on it and my plans were to later replace the RG350's pickups with the dimarzios to try and bring 'er up to the prestieges level.
I need to upgrade my amp too, got any recommendations?
@KewlCrayon Would love to get a prestige for sure, but you're right, they are costly. I use a Peavey Valveking 100 watt head and Kustom 4X12 with Celestions, and I love it! Highly recommend the Valveking :)
@nizalbiz Yeah for sure, I'm actually laying it out in the studio, I'll post a vid of the song when it is finished, Thanks much for the kind words! :)
hey man im really thinking of getting this guitar. looks good from your review, question tho does the edge 3 bridge give problem? i.e tuning stability?
your playing sounds great =) just one question though, i think that i'm going to get the 350ex, are the pickups the same on both? like is the color/finish the only think that's difference? thanks
As far as I know the pickups are the same, The only difference is the fretboard which is maple on this model, bound rosewood on the 350ex. Hope you love it! :)
Ppl say the edge III bridge sux becuz they dnt kno how to adjust it and i own an ibanez rg 350 mdx i've played it live i've played it in the studio and it's an awesome guitar to own it sounds great the only thing i've changed it is the pick ups i've installed an EMG 81 on the bridge EMG SA in the middle and an EMG 60 on the neck And it's the best guitar i've ever played and i've played everything from fenders to gibson's
Can you explain why you prefer Jackson to ibanez? I love jackson design and stuff but i think maby ibanez may be just as good... any major diffrence which factor to you.. I'd be englightened to see your opinions.
I have just always had Jacksons and so I always used them. I don't think they are superior to any other guitar I just think that they fit me well :) They do sound different but that's a good thing, we don't need every guitar sounding the same now do we? lol
What is a good Ibanez similar to this one with a fixed bridge. I want one but with a fixed bridge, I already have a Schecter Hellraiser with a floyd and would like the fixed bridge for simplicity of drop tuning. Kind of want to give an Ibanez a try.
You play flawlessly. Really well, even though i dont like hard rock/ metal, the rythmes you played were ALL wonderful. Thanks for posting this video, do you think i could play songs like Stairway to Heaven, Babe im gonna leave you and some other Led Zepp soft stuff on this guitar?
I really appreciate your kind words, thank you so much! Yes I think this guitar and it's tonal range would be wonderful for Led Zepplin, you would really like it I think
Ok awesome, ill try it out. I was considering a Les Paul, but its heavy, doesnt have a Floating trem, and most importanly has a Rosewood neck that i really dont like.
Anyway thanks for the answer, whats your bands name? do you have a myspace account to check out your stuff?
Thanks for the review! Do you know if this guitar is still available in stores (since it's a limiited edition)? I'll only be able to get one in September... Also, do you think it's good for Paul Gilbert-ish licks?
I've been playing guitar for 9 months now, and even feeling like a beginner, I want to get a new guitar better than my Fender Squier strat beginner version.
The thing is, and I see by your vid that it depends on the person and such, but would this guitar sound good playing something like Muse?
It's the kind of "route" I want to follow, the Muse'ish rock :D, and I have fell "in love" with a white version of the Ibanez RG 350, and my budget is just about the same. Need an opinion plz : D
hey dude!! nice playing =D just ogt one question:are the pickups ok?? or do they really suck ^^ =D i mean your personal opinion..is it the money worth??
i tried that guitar at a shop and i loved it so much, it feels amazing the neck is very thin and the body is really confortable, it's definately my next guitar after i sell my actual one
Unfortunately my time constraints at the moment won't allow me to tab out my material, I'm in the studio for two projects at the moment and working on a documentary, Film is my other passion, But I will let you know when I can asap :)
well there is a little but it could be many things, his camera, how close to his camera he is, how hard hes picking, and stuff like that, but its a nice guitar
sweet exotic phrasing man, and nice guitar indeed... I'm more a Jackson guy myself too, but Ibanez's do hands down have a sharper tonal variety... I recently bought a 7 String MIJ RG7420 and it's just incredibly versatile, not to mention that low B which opens up an entire new world...
the main difference you're gonna notice between the MDX and the other two is the fact that the MDX has a maple fretboard, it's sound should be a bit brighter than the other two... after that, they're pretty much the same... color has no effect on the sound =P

your playing sounds great =) just one question though, i think that i'm going to get the 350ex, are the pickups the same on both? like is the color/finish the only think that's difference? thanks
Musicman6464 2 years ago
As far as I know the pickups are the same, The only difference is the fretboard which is maple on this model, bound rosewood on the 350ex. Hope you love it! :)
kamikaze1213 2 years ago
alright, cool, thanks for the help, and hell yes =P it'll make an awesome second guitar!

Ppl say the edge III bridge sux becuz they dnt kno how to adjust it and i own an ibanez rg 350 mdx i've played it live i've played it in the studio and it's an awesome guitar to own it sounds great the only thing i've changed it is the pick ups i've installed an EMG 81 on the bridge EMG SA in the middle and an EMG 60 on the neck And it's the best guitar i've ever played and i've played everything from fenders to gibson's

Can you explain why you prefer Jackson to ibanez? I love jackson design and stuff but i think maby ibanez may be just as good... any major diffrence which factor to you.. I'd be englightened to see your opinions.
Nickpatient 2 years ago
I have just always had Jacksons and so I always used them. I don't think they are superior to any other guitar I just think that they fit me well :) They do sound different but that's a good thing, we don't need every guitar sounding the same now do we? lol

What is a good Ibanez similar to this one with a fixed bridge. I want one but with a fixed bridge, I already have a Schecter Hellraiser with a floyd and would like the fixed bridge for simplicity of drop tuning. Kind of want to give an Ibanez a try.

You play flawlessly. Really well, even though i dont like hard rock/ metal, the rythmes you played were ALL wonderful. Thanks for posting this video, do you think i could play songs like Stairway to Heaven, Babe im gonna leave you and some other Led Zepp soft stuff on this guitar?
nspade13 2 years ago
I really appreciate your kind words, thank you so much! Yes I think this guitar and it's tonal range would be wonderful for Led Zepplin, you would really like it I think
kamikaze1213 2 years ago
Ok awesome, ill try it out. I was considering a Les Paul, but its heavy, doesnt have a Floating trem, and most importanly has a Rosewood neck that i really dont like.
Anyway thanks for the answer, whats your bands name? do you have a myspace account to check out your stuff?

Les Pauls are fantastic guitars, but yes, heavy! I have these bands on myspace

Thanks for the review! Do you know if this guitar is still available in stores (since it's a limiited edition)? I'll only be able to get one in September... Also, do you think it's good for Paul Gilbert-ish licks?

I've been playing guitar for 9 months now, and even feeling like a beginner, I want to get a new guitar better than my Fender Squier strat beginner version.
The thing is, and I see by your vid that it depends on the person and such, but would this guitar sound good playing something like Muse?
It's the kind of "route" I want to follow, the Muse'ish rock :D, and I have fell "in love" with a white version of the Ibanez RG 350, and my budget is just about the same. Need an opinion plz : D

I REALLY want to get that after my birthday in a few days. I play an Ibanez RG2EX1
so i think this guitar will be a nice upgrade. Very nice playing man, and i loved that first clean riff you played, it reminded me of Metallica

quick question (cause I'm a noob haha) if i don't use the whammy bar will it stay in tune as long as a fixed bridge?

sweet exotic phrasing man, and nice guitar indeed... I'm more a Jackson guy myself too, but Ibanez's do hands down have a sharper tonal variety... I recently bought a 7 String MIJ RG7420 and it's just incredibly versatile, not to mention that low B which opens up an entire new world...
Nice review, 5 stars! \m/

do u think the Rg 350 MDX,DX.&EX differences are only appearence since all 3 are the same price?
MDX=all black
DX=all white
EX=black+white
poopdud18 2 years ago
the main difference you're gonna notice between the MDX and the other two is the fact that the MDX has a maple fretboard, it's sound should be a bit brighter than the other two... after that, they're pretty much the same... color has no effect on the sound =P
