I am no stranger to Ibanez, owning several standard and Prestige RG's I was beyond excited to see this at NAMM. I pre-ordered after a few days of decision making, but since there were few reviews, I was anxious to see if it was worth the money. As soon as I opened the case, I was blown away. The pictures truly do not come close to doing justice. The poplar burl looks fantastic in any lighting, but pops in bright light. The neck and fingerboard are stunning in their own way. I soon plugged it in and was instantly please. Great clarity, and the single coil provides sparkly cleans. I play ambient, progressive, and punk music. The guitar plays all of these genres exceptionally. It absolutely can djent. The neck, as always on RG's, plays extremely fast and smooth. This has become my main guitar, even over my prestige models. It is well worth the money, and the only thing I have thought about changing are the pickups eventually, but really is not necessary.

Musical Background:

I've been playing guitar for 5 years, and bass for 9. I play shows and write music.

Musical Style:

Hardcore, Progressive, Ambient, Metal
