What's special about this item?

The Ibanez 25th Anniversary RG sports a "best of" collection of features favored by RG fans. The RG was developed in the 80s as the Roadstar (RG stands for Roadstar Guitar) and it soon earned a reputation as a pedal-to-the-metal shred machine. Although there are RG players in a range of genres, the metal guitarist continues to be the die-hard RG player.

Edge-Zero II Tremolo

The Edge-Zero II, Ibanez's newest generation of knife edge tremolos, deploys all of the unique features of the ZR trem. Locking studs contribute to tuning stability. The Edge II Zero with the back plate removed. The system's performance and flexibility is based upon its spring/counter-spring design.

For the player who prefers the tremolo to snap hard to the zero point (as with a flutter effect) removal of the cross bar and counter-spring is quick and easy. Solidly anchoring each component is a major part of creating great sustain.

First off I play 80' and 90's music mostly. I have always liked the RG series from Ibanez. This guitar has exceeded all of my expectations. Out of the box it required minimal setup as the action was a little high for my liking. This has the pickup configuration I like best with a humbucker and single and those re not easy to find. Out of the box it's a killer guitar and stunning in looks. The rare reverse headstock sets this RG apart. I got the Laser Blue and it is a beautiful finish without a flaw. After looking the guitar over for any defects which there were none it was time to plug in. I use a Fender Mustang V half stack and this is a great combination. The pickup produce a great sound for what I play but clean up nice as well. This thing growl so I cranked it up and was not displeased. I'm usually not a maple neck guy but this neck feels great. It is very smooth and feels almost natural without varnish. Frets are comfortable and every fret is easily accessible All electronics are solid and high quality. This is a pretty light guitar and perfect for what I play. It is a limited run and for the price you can't go wrong. I only buy from zzounds and didn't even need a price match as theirs was 200.00 cheaper than everywhere else. Do yourself a favor and grab one of these. You won't regret it because the high quality DOESN'T match the low price tag. I am 110% happy with this guitar and I will never get rid of it. I'm 110% happy with zzounds as always.
