RG Prestige guitars feature flawless Japanese craftsmanship, the finest materials and each is axe perfectly matched with DiMarzio IBZ pickups.

Features

Finishing for supreme comfort.

Gotoh precision tuning machines.

Have you seen the headlines? "Guitar rock is back."
Ibanez is happy to hear it. Except at Ibanez, guitar rock never "left" - and if you're the type of player who reads Ibanez catalogs, you've been too busy playing guitar or bass to worry a whole lot about the media's take on music. However, the papers are right about one thing: there are more new guitar and bass guitar styles than ever before. That's why there are more different kinds of guitars and basses in the 2003 Ibanez line up.

Technical Info

Wizard neck was designed to be thin, flat and fast

5pc Wizard Prestige neck

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 offer easy playing for leads and chording.

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

IBZ V7 (H) Neck PU

IBZ S1 (S) Mid PU

IBZ V8 (H) Bridge PU

Pearl Dot Inlay

Polished Chrome Hardware
Here's a guitar that provides the hard-edged, cutting tone needed for heavy rock. The Ibanez Wizard neck was designed to be thin, flat and fast. With an Edge Pro tremolo bridge and humbucker-single-humbucker pickups, this guitar has a feel and sound that you'll love.

Ibanez RG1570 Electric Guitar (with Case) Reviews

"Amazing guitar!!!"
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.

"A true review of the 570 to help you decide before you get ripped buying something else."
Feature:
The features i like the most are the ulta thin wizard neck, that is extremely fast comfortable. You can play for hours and not tire out. Also the edge tremolo, I believe this is the best trem ever made, even better than the original Floyd Rose. You can jerk this thing into oblivion and dive bomb like a b-42 and it will always return to ground zero and stay in perfect tune. Also the guitar is really lite wich makes great for playing long sets.

Quality:
This guitar is put together alot better than any other it its price range, and even alot better than most costing 5 times as much. This is definately a road worthy instrument.

Value:
If you are looking for a screamin' guitar that will be with you for years to come without shelling out thousands of dollars, this is the guitar for you. After coming across the 570, I wouldn't spend my money on any thing else. This is the best dollar for dollar guitar out there. It is worth alot more than what you will pay for one. You wont be dissappointed.

Sound:
The sound is very versatile, it provides a good amount of crunch without blurring everything into staticy noise and it cleans up well when you want it to sing out. I play alot of metal and hard rock and it performs very well under both hard core jammin and soloing. I believe this guitar outperforms anything in its price range, and many others that are extremely over priced.

Support:
I own several of these and have never had any major problems.

Overall:
I will never get tired of my 570's, I believe they are the best value in the guitar market today. After playing the 570's I don't think I would ever Play anything else, I KNOW I wouldn't BUY anything else!
