http://www.nevadamusic.co.uk/Guitars/Electric-Guitars/Electric-Guitars/sc1437... As the RG Prestige history continues to unfold, players have demanded new specs, new finishes and new inspiration. In 2009, Ibanez has responded with a host of new models that include the RG3570Z pictured here in a stunning Lazer Blue finish with contrasting Canary Yellow pick-up covers.
Many of the new 2009 guitars are made in Japan by the finest Ibanez luthiers and have the fast, flat Prestige necks, drop-dead good looks and double-locking trems, plus new finishes such as the one pictured here, Maple fretboards and new pick-up configurations featuring DiMarzio Air Norton, and Tone Zone pickup combinations.
The Edge-Zero, Ibanez's newest generation of knife edge tremolos, deploys all of the unique features of the ZR trem. Edge-Zero trems are standard on all RGT Prestige models. Adjusting the tremolo string tension and intonation to suit your playing style is simplicity itself ...
Simply unscrew the built-in intonation adjustment tool from the base and screw it into the bottom of each saddle for quick adjustments. The locking bolt is offset from the center of the saddle, which allows easy access to the bolt without loosening the strings. This eye-catching Ibanez model comes complete with an Ibanez hardcase - see it now at the Nevada Music warehouse ...
The Ibanez RG3570Z is like a finely tuned F1 car, every last detail is designed for max comfort and performance. It's no secret that the majority of players who will buy this guitar are shredders. Whether that's your bag or not, you can't ignore the fact that they have invested a vast amount of time perfecting their technique and like an F1 Driver they require a machine/instrument crafted to perfection, with no corners cut. Flicking open the case, the guitar looks stunning. Clean lines, a flawless eye catching paint job with contrasting Canary yellow pickups! Weight and balance are perfect. The Super Wizard Prestige neck is slim with a very flat fingerboard radius, perfect for fret board acrobatics. The Edge Zero tremolo is a fine piece of engineering that offers fast, accurate adjustment. That said, once the strings are played in, tuning remains stable no matter how abusive a dive bomber you are. Strummed acoustically the RG3570Z has a lively balanced tone that shines through when you plug in. The neck Humbucker, a DiMarzio Air Norton, has a big solid sound but with plenty of focus and definition. The bridge Humbucker, a DiMarzio Tone Zone, ramps things up a notch or two with its high output, treble detail and singing sustain. The centre single coil sounds great for rhythm work and in positions 2 & 4 on the blade switch delivers some authentic Strat-a-like sounds. All in Ibanez's RG3570Z performance is impressive. Its Pro spec, attention to detail and fine looks makes it stand out amongst the competition.
The tone sounds kinda dry, the amp maybe?

@MCLOVIN50 We close mic'd the Peavey 6505 and it has no built in reverb so we added just a little from a pedal but didn't want to drown the sound in reverb so it is a little dry with this amp I'm afraid. We'll try another on the next run..... cheers for the feedback. xx
