royals_rocker :
no i didnt realise that. im 14, this is the most advanced gutiar ive ever palyed, i unlocked he things on the top, and thought it would be fine. i'm told it will be fine now though for tuning down. just lack of set up

HAHAHAH, you have to adjust the spring tension if you change the tuning, also the intonation. I suggest you get someone to show you to save 80 bucks next time. It's not rocket science... i don't think the tuners are locking in this case. He prob meant a locking nut.

U think if i put some original floyds will make it work...as in..solve the problem with the crapy edge 3?
POSTED: 04/12/2007 - 11:49 am / quote |
royals_rocker :
i would do that, but i cant afford it, spent all of the money on the guitar, does any1 know if the whammy bar sneeding to be moved the other way to get it sounding right, is that normal?

Lone_Star :
Well, first of all thank you for the review, it hepled me a lot.

But I think it's a bit obscure to write a review about a guitar with a whammy bar without having experience with it.
I bet if you would have really locked the locking nuts, the guitar wouldn't get out of tune while using the tremelo.

POSTED: 05/04/2007 - 08:20 am / quote |
royals_rocker :
the reason why the guitar got out of tune was simply because the bridge was no where near parrelelll. that is all sorted out now though, and the guitar is absoloutely amazing. a divebomb sounds great on it, and i now have no complaints about any part of it i dont think

Can i just say that now ive had this guitar a couple of months and got used to it, its absoloutely amazing!

POSTED: 06/17/2007 - 08:12 am / quote |
royals_rocker :
the paint job is pretty good. its mnatt black with many lumps on it.
POSTED: 06/26/2007 - 10:48 am / quote |
royals_rocker :
but the lumps r meant 2 b ther, srt of like a tarmac road surface finish

i would reccomend it, and it cost me £25 to get itset up, but it was a bad set up, usual price would be around £50

Is it true that the bridge pick-up gives a Heavy-Metal sound?
POSTED: 10/11/2007 - 02:35 am / quote |
royals_rocker :
i would say it is quite a heavy metal sound, but i think its a matter of opinion

kradamek :
this sounds like a good guitar and im thnkin of buyin one and the main thing i hear wrong wit it is hte bridge. is there another ibanez like this for about the same price with out the edge 3?
POSTED: 10/28/2007 - 04:50 pm / quote |
royals_rocker :

b-rentt! :
i wana do alot of drop tuned stuff but do alot of divebombs whammy etc. is this a good guitar for that, i mean, with the whole floyd rose thing going on?, i mean, i know its a b i t ch to tune it and re-string it but once i get used it yea but, would you reccomend this guitar over just a standard bridged guitar for my purposes?
POSTED: 12/03/2007 - 10:04 pm / quote |
J.J.G. :
if you set it up this guitar will be great for whammy bar harmonics, pinch harmonics, etc. the emg's can take on the most high overdrive you can imagine.
hint: when droping down to C try to tune the lower strings first and then the other strings. if you tune the higher ones first the others will make them go out of tune in the end.

I bought this guitar a couple of days ago, and it's one of the best guitars I've ever played. If you're into metal, this is the thing. The looks are perfect, easy to play.. Simply kicks ass.

cutter222 :
i just bought this guitar and its my first and i love the look and feel of it but with the cheap VOX amp i bought i cant get a decent heavy metal sound out of it... ie metallica tunes or ACDC, just cant get that raunchy sound, can anyone recommend a good amp thats at a reasonable price. thanks in advance

IbanezRoadRage :
i own one of these guitars ... its an awesome guitar however you should not buy this guitar because its got emg's, i've heard too many cases where someone buys a guitar because of the pickups...pick a guitar thats sweet for you...you can change the pickups later...don't be fooled, these pickups are actually ibanez pickups designed by emg...you actually LOOSE sustain...and the pickups have quite a bit of buzz aswell...i recently changed them for dimarzio evolutions and let me tell you...it sounds like a JEM...gorgeous, showers you in harmonics and amazingly crisp sound that drives a punch...they are ...i buoght this guitar mainly because i can play like lightning on it...neck is extremely comfortable...the jumbo frets are awesome...im not a huge fan of the edge III bridge, but that can be easily upgraded...this guitar is going to be a collectors item because its the only RG ibanez with an inverted headstock...really rare...anyways...you wont be dissapointed with this guitar...gives me everything i need for playing anything from vai...to satch...to metal...eric johnson...anything in the heavier genre...and it gives me the harmonics ive dreamt about since i was a kid...

Beefstew :
I bought this guitar a couple months ago and absolutely love it. the speed and sound i can get out of it is amazing. Now I've only been playing guitar for about 3 years, and my old guitar was a POS that i just tuned and played. I've heard the bridge on this guitar is not of great quality, can anyone explain why? I havent had any problems with it and it feels, and sounds fine to me.

tjhome28 :
I have this guitar, and have had for just under a year now.
I don't see why everyone is complaining about the edge pro 3!
If set up properly, it works an absolute dream
Brilliant guitar, would recommend it to anyone =]

i have a prob, i don't know if i will buy this guitar or a PRS custom with Duncan pick ups, it is my brothers guitar and it has a pretty sweet sound, better than this one i can bet, my style is not just metal so theres the deal, will this guitar let me play blues or classic rock and Vai stuff too?.. i know that the PRS will not let me all that, will this guitar?..

I have the rgr, i think it would be ok for vai and maybe some classic rock but i dunno how good it would be for blues, cuz i just play power metal and symphonic metal anyway

(Right now playing with the trem blocked)
I love it, Stays it tune,Fast Neck, Love the Finish (Silver Frost)

cscissorhands :
im pretty sure i have the same model as shown here. read the review and seems the same,
except mine is in a finish they call "arctic frost blue."
why is this?

POSTED: 03/19/2009 - 02:28 pm / quote |
cscissorhands :
nermind researched- found out why
mine was made in JAPAN, while these are usually produced in Indonesia. It was a custom model someone ordered but they never picked it up, so it was put up for sale.
