7-7-09 Rob Balducci Lick Of The Week - Demo of Ibanez S Series 24 Fret Guitar

[liamzuid]

You can block the edge zero tremolo to a only dive mode right?

[snakymen13]

I recently bought a rg3570z ibanez prestige guitar and i would like to know how do i pull off the zero point bar?

Great playing and keep rockin!

[MrHatefulgod]

But what is your amp rig!? Brilliant tone, 'sharp' midrange and treble similar to Blues Saraceno, it ain't often I hear a "must have" tone...

[ibzmav]

love the design man!

[AnonAssault]

Internet brofist for the guitar players you listed!

Have you tried the ZR bridge? How is it in comparison?

And how'd you get the endorsement? Just luck? :P

[alapunk13]

hey master balducci, what do you think of the rg1451 or 1421? I'm looking for a fixed bridge and would like your opinion and by the way what's your opinion about fixed bridged guitars, thanks, I love your videos :)

[metalmouth13]

Rob, Ibanez should release that guitar on there signature series.

[RobBalducci]

hey ya... I am an Ibanez endorser for over 15 years now. Ibanez makes custom guitars in there LAC shop for artist they endorse, once you worked up to that etc.. I have the pleasure of working with them for a long time... thx RB

[THESHORTONE100]

hey did you have this custom made? if so how did you go about doing that?? i would really like to do that sometime so any info would be appreciated! thanks!

[TrevENGL]

Holy crap! First off Rob, great playing! And second of all, you just made me decide 100% for sure that the 7-String Ibanez I have been scoping out will definitely be THE ONE. I wasn't sure about the edge zero bridge, but since you 'can' alternate between floating and not, I'm going to go for it. And you just proved a whole lot of people wrong btw, because everywhere I looked people said that you can't flutter the edge zero. Thanks! And keep rockin.

[DeathMetalUnderKing]

i definitely agree with you Rob, Ibanez all the way

[musicman9901]

love the guitar Rob, I was looking to buy an ibanez for quite a while and this video only solidified that for me, I just ordered myself the rg prestige 3570Z in lazer blue, very much looking forward to that.

[Sjusovaren]

Damn, that's a beautiful guitar! The S shape is so nice.

[kingsaulthetenth]

you have a great vibrato,similliar to george lynch.

[Robotechnology]

What's up Rob. I see you did what I did with my Paul Gilbert with respect to the Steve's Special pup.  What neck shape did you spec out for this one? Later, Ivan.

[RobBalducci]

Hey ya Ivan, good to hear from you. I have not heard from you in some time. The neck is an ultra neck.. the specs you sent me off of the Ibanez you brought to my house when you were taking lessons. The j custom. PS send me those specs again if you get a chance..

[Whyrendog]

What do you think this or the Jackson SLS3?

[RobBalducci]

@Whyrendog I have never tried it!

[vFluX]

Ibanez has stole and improved almost everything, while they come up with great innovations they have ripped off there fair share, tons of law suits as I recall.

[anutoldlegend89]

Not really they've only had one lawsuit.

[RobBalducci]

@vFluX Ibanez had some lawsuit models when they started years ago and it was because there guitars were better then the originals. Ibanez are the best guitars in the world and have changed the way guitars are designed!

[D1vid3By0]

@RobBalducci

Agreed! I've tried many guitars but none of them come close to Ibanez. I would even prefer a low-mid range RGT Ibanez over a top end shecter, Jackson, or ESP. Ibanez just has something magical about their instruments. Unparalleled quality and feel. I could write a graduate essay on just how much better Ibanez is compared to other guitar companies.

[jc5150dc]

Trying to decide b/t the Mo'Joe and SS...I love rock, metal and insane harmonics and sustain. Help?

[RobBalducci]

@jc5150dc Get the Steve Special you cannot go wrong!!

[rattlehead001]

Wow, I want my own custom S series guitar. Nice tone.

[pirateboy12]

whats the specific name of that whammy bar?

[telluridefan]

zr2

[RobBalducci]

@pirateboy12 This is the Edge Zero trem.

[pirateboy12]

no, like the cover on it, its thickens at the end of it?

[Bazement258Studios]

Can you do a video on changing strings with the edge zero bridge? I can't figure it out, and other floating bridge videos are about the floy'd rose, which seems to do the oppisite as the edge zero..

[Karlkp]

hey dude i have an s and changing strings is pretty simple, u have to cut the ball ends of the new strings... then using the allen key unlock the block on the trem there are 6 for each string. put the string in and lock it in place. put the other end of the string through the nut at the end of the neck and proceed to re- string like a regular guitar :)

[ndonato2]

you don't need to cut the ball end off. you can just feel it through the tuning pegs first, then into the bridge.

[erenoi]

so much sustain, jesus christ that guitar is amazing :|

[amaurythewarrior]

love the custom design

[stepinbecy]

hey thats amazing ly awesome i have one question though how did u get endorsements by ibanez . i ask because i love ibanez and i would die if i go through life without them makin my custom guitar i will appreciate u telling me how i can get a custom

[toxicity28]

dude as soon as you said paul gilbert, i looked at my PGM300 and said "fuck yeah"

[redhairedstepchild]

nice rob -- that bar is cool :)... and some nice clean sounds -too

[reverweb]

[hyde192000]

i wish u'd send that guitar to me as a gift... lol

[TheKirkYates]

Ibanez is the best. this was fun to watch. good luck with the album!
