Description
News
For over two decades, the RG has reigned as the unquestioned monarch of metal guitars. Why? Because the RG has the perfect combination of fast, flat necks, the right pickups and pickup placement, and precision trem systems to mete out creative destruction. And because the RG has evolved and expanded along with the metal genre it was designed for. The 2009 RG line offers the new Figured Bubinga top RG420FB, Cinnamon top RG420CM and Beehive White finish/routed top RG420EGB.

Features
Double-locking Edge III trem systems allow radical effects and sonic chaos with total tuning stability.

24-fret, thin 3-piece Wizard II necks for fast and effortless shredding.

New gorgeous Figured Bubinga top on the RG420FB.

Edge III Tremolo
The new Edge III is similar in construction and feel to the original Edge locking trem; however, it also features lower profile fine-tuners inspired by the Lo-PRO Edge and massive new-design saddles.

The Edge III features two screws in the arm pocket, which allow easy adjustment of the arm height and torque.

In the last two decades, no other guitar maker besides Ibanez has done so much to advance the art and science of the tremolo. The Edge III represents the next phase in locking tremolos.

"Ibanez really fell short on this one, stick to Korea, not Indonesia"
Feature:
The EdgeIII was really bad on my model, everything in fact was really cheaply made. The volume and tone knobs felt stiff and a little over rotated. The neck was terrible and had fret buzz everywhere. Nothing could fix this guitar.

Quality:
Made out of the cheapest materials that I have ever set my eyes on. The body wood was just plain terrible, the neck was awful, the electronics started to buzz and fade really quickly. Went out of tune for no reason, also never really stayed in tune when played.

Value:
This guitar shouldn't be sold for more than $200.

Ease of Use:
Really easy to use other than getting used to the Edge3 bridge. Some minor setbacks include it randomly going out of tune.
