Hey mate, can you abuse the tremolo, doing dive bombs and stuff without breaking strings/untunning?

[kamikaze1213]

@AKAJACE1337 Indeed. I have had no trouble with the trem on this guitar.

[WildWe5]

That's from your band? I don't normally like metal but that sounds pretty good. Whats the band name?

[kamikaze1213]

@WildWe5 Thanks much for the kind words, they are very appreciated, Blood Legacy, and Divine Nightmare the bands that I am in :)

[jasonism123]

how is the bridge/trem working out? do you tend to abuse it? I'm worried the trem/bridge might not last that long.

[kamikaze1213]

@jasonism123 Trem is fine, never had an issue with the edge 3 :)

[kamikaze1213]

@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 :)

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.

[guitarplayer89100]

i have one:) picked it up for 200 with a hardshell

[ebihn14]

HA, i love how it still hasnt faded out of style

[mudkipzX6]

What is the thing on the headstock, ythat you can open?

[SuperFierce69]

hay is it hard to tune it into drop C tunning?

[kamikaze1213]

@RockSchooled Indeed, one of my favorites :)

[kamikaze1213]

@jasonism123 It's not a glossy fretboard. Just a good piece of maple, sounds really good :)

[jasonism123]

btw, does it have the glossy maple fretboard, or is it kinda rough/unfinished? thanks for the review

[RockSchooled]

Katatonia t-shirt! YES!

[donSparda]

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 :)

[kamikaze1213]

@leny2321 Bolt On. My new Dean V is a neck thru though :)

[leny2321]

This is neck-thru construction, right?



[U2BE07]

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.

[jetfire92]

Nice review maan!!! I was thinking of buying thism ur video really helpd THANX!! \m/

[SanctuaryShred]

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

dude haha awesome review man iwant one know haha dude you look like dave mustain but balled and with scot ians beard. haha but your you haha.

[leafyP]

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.

[julianking93]

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.

Can you (or anyone) help me out here?
