"www.myspace.com/fourmisanthrope CHECK US OUT WE COMIN TO A HOOD NEAR U!!"

Feature:
there are things about this guitar i dont even understand yet. i cant even begin to explain what this guitar can do and what it features but there is a lot of features to it.. all i can say is it comes with an instruction manual! Now i dont know about everyone else but i have never seen a guitar with an instruction manual.. and it goes way way deeper than just how to use ur tremelo. when/if u buy it.. make sure to read it trust me

Quality:
The make is AMAZING!! Normally seven strings are a bit heavy cause they're bigger and fatter.. This guitar however is ridiculously light.. Which helps alot with speed.. u dont feel so weighed down..The finish is beautiful its a much darker blue than in the picture but it looks a hell of a lot better in my opinion.i havent had this guitar very long so i'm to sure how dependable it is But its Ibanez so what would u expect, the name says it all. this is my show guitar it sounds to sexy not to be. And with the way the guitar is built and the specs on it (that u should definitely pay close attention to) i feel that is very dependable and will last for many shows to come

Value:
its worth it if u know ne thing about 7's then u know about the K-7 at least somewhat which by the way was a 1400 dollar guitar. I wanted that guitar for the longest time but they discontinued it...bummer! But this what i'm gettin at is this is VERY if not the same as that guitar for 500 bucks cheaper and the case u get with it is great it thick and sturdy so it will be able to take a betting and still keep her safe. The case it self is probably like... 150-200 bucks by itself so what u get for the price... u cant beat it

Desirability:
i wanted this guitar as soon as i saw it! and i'm overbearingly picky about what guitar i am gonna buy i'll walk into a music shop with a pocket full of loot and wont buy ne thing cause nothing appeals. If i say this guitar in a shope i would have gotten it probably 3x quicker it looks A LOT better in person. sexy is an understatement take one look at this guitar fresh out the box i guarantee ur jaw will drop... Mine did, and i'm generally that guy who is different to everything... i get compared to Cartman from south park a lot actually. I commend Ibanez on this guitar it is a pure work of art one of their best if u ask me.

Sound:
First off in about a week or so this guitar sound will be on my bands webpage after we get done with studio stuff so if u wanna here how it sounds and some good metal check us out. I'm an active guitarist in a metal/nu-metal band. This guitar is AMAZING!! i was using a 7 string esp with EMG actives in it...it has a beautiful sound as well but the Rg1527 crushes it hands down. this guitar has one of the best sounds i have every heard coming from a seven string guitar... You get the low end crunch that u are looking for but instead of ur sound being muffled cause of the really low tuning, it's like ur on stage all the time. plug in and play... you'll see

Ease of Use:
I own four six strings and 2 seven strings. Out of all of them the Rg is the only guitar that i have bought that when u take it out of the box its ready to go right then... the only thing i had to do was drop the tuning because it comes standard B and i play in A.. other than that i didnt have to make any adjustments what so ever i simply plugged in and ripped and it was awesome.

Support:
i had an issue with my credit card for some reason, i think the guy ook down a wrong number or something but customer service acted promptly on the issue. (for u not so educated people out there promptly mean on time, see u do learn somethin new everyday) they fixed the issue quickly and got me my guitar so as far as i'm concerned thumbs up...good job Zzounds

Overall:
I will be happy with her for a while.. And really i think when it's time for a new one i'm gonna get a custom guitar set up pretty much the same way as the RG1527 with some add ons of course. I couldn't replace it the only way it would not b my primary guitar is if i found something better.. i doubt it. if u wanna hear how it sounds www.myspace.com/fourmisanthrope

"between heaven and hell!!"

Feature:
Just enough of the good stuff without going over board with abalone binding and signature endorsements, one volume, one tone, low pro trem, best of the best tuners, and it is a prestige model with case. I haven't really come to any conclusions about the pick-ups yet, there good, they work. This is the first time i had to turn down the bass on the amp even at low volume.

Quality:
QUALITY!! Ibanez prestige, what more is there to say? Flawless paint, super smooth neck. The tone rings out from this guitar even before you plug it in. This is the first guitar i bought that exceded my expectations.

Value:
yea, a 10 for value too. was going to get the RG 7321, but wanted something that would retain some kind of value in case i didn't like it. I also was looking at the K-7 and universe but those were just too expensive. RG 1527 is right in between those. Glad i got this one.

Desirability:
Didn't NEED it, but had to wait to pick it up for an extra month and it was all i could think about. Royal blue is a very deep color and it is very pleasing to the eyes, black chrome or "cosmo" chrome is also a nice touch. MOP inlay logo says something special and sets it apart from run of the mill Ibi's

Sound:
This one does it! I totally got sick and tired of having all these guitars in altered tunings so I said ****-it, and bought this rg 1527. first off it is a beautiful shade of deep-dark metallic blue. Great finish on all parts and the low B string gets all the "heavy" you could ask for.

Ease of Use:
It takes some getting used to the wider neck and having that extra low string, but I've never played a 7-string before. I bought this for something different and challenging. I play RGT's exclusively and this guitar feels right at home with them.

Support:
gave this one a 10 because the best factory support is the type you don't have to use.

Overall:
I go back to my 6 stringers when i want to rock, but when i want to explore or challenge myself with something new, this is the one i grab.

About This Product!
Description
From Our Catalog
Since 1987, the Ibanez RG has been the weapon of choice for visiting sonic mayhem on the metal masses. With the right choice of pickups, flat and fast necks and double-locking trems, the RG has divebombed and crunched its way to classic status. To the RG's lethal combination of features, RG Prestige models add the comfortable, rounded feel of Prestige neck finishing, drop-dead good looks and top-shelf electronics and hardware.

Basswood Body
Basswood is a comparatively lightweight wood, which makes it very comfortable for extended playing. With a good balance of highs and lows, basswood is right in between alder and mahogany in sound character.

24/Jumbo Frets
Jumbo frets offer easy playing for leads and chording.

Rosewood Finger Board
Rosewood offers a strong, bright sound and an attractive appearance with a long grain.
