Feature:
The Rg Prestige 1570gr I own has a basswood body, two humbuckers and one single coil pickup, rosewood Wizard Prestige neck with jumbo frets, Edge Pro trem, Gotoh tuners and is silver/grey.I will just put it on the line right now. This guitar is Amazing! The new EdgePro Tremelo is quite a improvement over the previous one due to new friction points that seem to dramatically increase sustain. My old guitar was a rg 320 and there is NO comparison.Where this guitar really shines is the neck. 100% Prestige, great flat radius and wonderfull action,Very thin.Word of advice;I bought my guitar at guitar center and got a great deal on it.But I tried every rg 1570 in the store(there were 5)The fretwork varies greatly so be aware and grab a good one!
Quality:
Seems like a very well made instrument. I made a very thoruogh inspection of this guitar and it seems to be very well put together. No small cracks or blemishes in the finish. I have Played guitar for 18 years (10 years professionally) and I believe this will be one of my favorites
Value:
Overall this guitar was a monster deal, I still cant believe they can sell a guitar like this for this price.
Desirability:
Im not much into asthetic, I was sold ont his guitar because of its sheer playability, but for all you guys who want to pick up the chicks this guitar would do it. Wear this guitar with a black suit and red shirt and youll look like a modern art masterpiece.Cool silver grey color that say's "Im here to smoke that ass"
Sound:
The Stock Pickups (V7 neck V8 bridge S1 middle)are more than powerfull to handle most musical applications, and given the pickup array there are more than enough tonal possibilites to play everything from country to shred (actualy this is a great shred guitar). Seasoned players will want to upgrade to more harmonically rich pickups.DiMarzio Tone Zone, Paf Pro, and the Evolution are exellent choices in regards to this guitar.
Support:
Have had no need to contact support.
Overall:
The only upgrade I will be making to this guitar is a PAF Pro in the Bridge and a ToneZone in the neck. After that this thing will be shredding up a storm...Watch out Paul Gilbert here I come.

Feature:
The giutar came with a ibanez prestige hardcase plus all the regular allan keys. Woods used at this price are good such as basswood, maple and walnut, rosewood. The guitar includes the ede pro bridge which I find better than a floyd rose. The edge pro is on guitars 5 times this price so it shows good quality! Perhaps more powerful pickup, but for the price the pickups are fine.
Quality:
Nothing will break unless you want to break it. The finish will not wear away, the only thing is to be careful of is the locking trem bridge as they arent always the firmest of things. It came from Ibanez fine and is well made.
Value:
I would be prepared to twice the amount that i did.
Desirability:
Looks amazing, it looks best in blue, when you get up close to it, it sparkles.
Sound:
Great stock pickups, suited to shred, metal and hard rock, however, these pickups could do anything. The high notes cut through excellent for soloing, and the pickups are good for rhythm playing and chugging. I would recommend perhaps upgrading to dimarzio evolution if you are an extremely serious musician, however they still sound great. Great for pinched harmonics and distortion. Amazing sustain in the body and the tremolo produces all the dive bombs you may need.
Ease of Use:
The best bit of the guitar is the playability. The neck is simply superb!!! Everything will be faster, due to the slim neck! Simply the best guitar I have played on!The guitar can do any style so you can easily so you can easliy change the sound from vintage blues fuzz, to clean flanger, to death metal.
Support:
Can't rate it as I have never had to deal with them.
Overall:
It is amazing for any style and any level.It lives up to the prestige name and I would recommemd buying one.
