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

Greetings,
I hope you are all doing well. This new LOTW is a demo of one of my guitars the Ibanez S Series 24 fret guitar.
I have received a bunch of emails requesting I talk about my Ibanez guitars so here is the first LOTW regarding the axes.
This guitar is an Ibanez S series guitar that has 24 frets, It was built by the Ibanez LA custom shop. I have been
fortunate enough to be endorsed with Ibanez for the past 15 years and I must say they are the best guitars
in the world. They are the leaders in cutting edge new designs. The only guitar company that has changed the way
guitars look and play and have developed the best tremolo systems industry wide! This guitar as the Edge Zero bridge and is the best bridge that has ever come out. It has a zero point bar that you can keep in so that the bridge returns to the same point at all times. You can also remove it so that it is free floating.. This is how I use it and the flutter is amazing. As you will see the guitar does not go out of tune.
I hope you enjoy the demo...

Rock It!
RB

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.

[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!

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

[erenoi]

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

@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.

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.

[THESHORTONE100]
