I'm gonna hit ebay and get one of these monsters. I wounder what kind of axe would result when the very best of Japan and America come together and make a guitar.
@Maxpound i wouldnt go on ebay. only if you absolutely have to. a few of my friends got guitars off ebay and got fucked!!! i wouldnt do it, but it depends who you buy from i guess
no joke peoples, japan made rg prestige axes are considered one of the holy grails of axes. buy one of these and you can exorcise any demon from any audience easily! rumor has it GOD himself jams on one on his weekends off!
I guess he means "maple fretboard" I think most all Ibanez guitar have a maple neck.
But what I wouldn't give for them to bring back the piezo bridges! Oh man a basswood rg 7 string with piezo bridge in something other than black (maybe a maple top) would be perfect!
All the DiMarzio pu on this guitar are top notch (It's no Evo, but still). Especially love the Tone Zone and True Velvet Single Coil. Ah....just plug it into a Mesa Boogie and you'll know what I mean.
i have the black model they have there, rg3550, what a insane guitar, i'v owned and played schecters,gibsons,fenders,and jacksons, and never actually played on a ibanez until i tried this out, and fells like it was built for me, the neck is unreal so smooth and easy to play on, pickups are dimarizo awsome tone, anyone looking at getting one, GET ONE!!!
@Judoking96 dont quote me but i think the prestiges have thinner necks, you will hav to check dimensions on the website, my neck on mine in the thinnest they make, 5 piece wizard neck, i have big hands and have been use to playing fat fender necks, so now my hand plays effortlsly on this neck,
that guys a knob and has short term memory loss.. listen to him whenn he talks about the maple neck on the prestige guitars. he goes we havent had the maple neck on these before then 10 seconds later... oh did i mention that we havent had the maple neck on the prestige edition before.. like wtf? ;) hahaa
Ive been playing Ibs since 87 and can tell you that since 03 Ibanez quality has been downhill.Thats when they lost the patten to the edge,low pro edge trems with Floyd Rose.And nothing since compares to them.I still buy Ibanez but swap the trems for the originals,Edge,LP Edge.But they do make nice project axes,the 1570 on my page is an 07 and one of my fav guitars.401 sustainer and LP edge did help that.Prestige def not better quality than any pre 03
the japanese make some of the best equipment in the universe, bro. Their swords are unquestionably the best in the world, all they need do is apply that skill to sculpting wood.
when hes talking about a metal guitar hes talking about jackson, ibanez or esp. He not talking about fender or gibson, theyre not known as metal guitars, but u can use them.
Weakest point on Jackson is neck even on 2k models,Gibson nowadays = glue stains and awful quality control(this is why Fender keep prices up) PRS really good cauze it's hand made,never buy Korean made guitars ltd's,deans (frets pops up after 5+ years)
I played a friend's Jackson dinky and it had an awesome neck. Just thin enough to be really playable, but beefy enough to keep the sustain and tone. It was really great. Don't get me wrong, though. I'm an Ibanez guy for life.
i've heard a lot of raves about the tone zone. the air nortons you can find on some of john petruccis model so maybe u can base it off of that (minus all the gear and finger tone)

Ummm they are nice but I wouldn't go that far dude!
Also "they are made in japan because you can't get that level of precision workmanship anywhere else"
Come on brother now you just sound nuts and not very educated when it comes to guitar building.
So lets throw down our Jackson, Gibson, Dean, ESP, Hamer, PRS & Fenders and burn those sub-par twang boxes. ha ha
