So I got this with some money off in a January sale. It's a lot brighter than the pictures looked on the internet! It was either this colour or bright pink. I liked both, but the hardware I thought looked better with the yellow. It's an Ibanez RG1XXV, 25th anniversary model.

It has an American Basswood body, which isn't particularly heavy. It has a 5 piece maple/walnut 'wizard premium' neck, which is nice and slim and pretty fast, and some pretty badass looking shark fin inlays in yellow. The neck plays really well, fretting is a doddle. I think I need to adjust the action slightly, it's a little low compared to other guitars that I own, and is lower than I'm used to. I'll probably get it set up properly in a couple of weeks after I've finished being unable to put it down.

It has 2 DiMarzio humbuckers and 1 singlecoil. The humbuckers sound mean, I'm not really a singlecoil guy so I haven't used that very much. I like having the pickup switch in the second position from the top for cleans though, which I think uses the middle pickup as well as the neck.

The bridge is an 'Edge Zero II' tremolo. It's been pretty solid so far, though I haven't really given it any real abuse to see how it handles it. I have a floyd rose on one of my other guitars, so I'll be able to have a face off and see which I prefer. My other Ibanez has a hardtail.

While it's not really that important, it came with a really decent case, which you'd expect for a guitar of this price, and surprisingly with a little multi-tool, which is most useful- has all the screwdriver sizes and allen keys that you'll need to do anything with the guitar for, and a little ruler on it for (I'm guessing) measuring the action.

All in all, it's a good buy that I'm happy with so far- haven't really had it for long enough to say any more than that!


P.s
The ruler is sharp

Love it! You should order an HH pickguard and get rid of that middle pickup if you don't like it. That's what I did, and I'm glad I did it.

I haven't got to play one of these yet. Although, I did get my hands on the new Premium Jem 70V and I wasn't impressed. I heard the premiums are hit and miss though. Sounds like you got a good one. HNGD!

I would like to try one of these some time. I went to try one at my local GC once and the intonation was way off, like unplayably off.

Nice guitar, I bought the pink RG1XXV about one year ago and it feels really good. Didnt really like that yellow and the fact that it doesnt even match pick up/knobs colour irritates me. I had an issue with the single coil tho, the magnets used to pull the lowest strings towards the pick up completely ****ing up the intonation. If I remember correctly it happened on like fret 16-24 on the low E and A strings, you should check it and make sure you dont have the same issue.

Factory setup on premiums are really bad most of the time. I have a Jem70V and it was really really bad from factory. Felt like total crap. Now it's setup perfectly and I rather play that than my prestiges.

Tried this, it hasn't had anything like that up with it. Must be luck I guess lol if there's been a few with bad intonation.



Strongly considering this, one thing that I have noticed as well as not really using it is that sometimes when I'm palm muting I catch the pick on the middle pickup, it sits just where I play, which I'm not used to (other guitars have just 2 humbuckers).



Ha! I wish lol XD
