I ordered my RGD1327 in flat orange. I could barely wait to open the box! I love the flat orange, the birds eye maple pops! I love the fact the inlay dots are small and unobtrusive. The dimarzio fusions scream and are crystal clear! Some wonder on the thickness of the neck and it's not super thin nor thick. It's a cross between a strat feel and an ESP. You can shred the heck out of this guitar and mine arrived perfectly setup and even the strings were pre stretched. I just tuned up and off I went! If you are shredder and love metal and appreciate a guitar that won't get muddy being drop tuned then this is the guitar for you! Oh it came with an Ibanez multi function allen wrench set that should be in every guitarist tool box!

Sound
The dimarzio fusions are crystal clear and I would never change them. Every single note is heard clearly even being factory tuned down a whole step. For cleans I would want a ton knob only to roll off the top end but that's it.

Features
The materials are top quality as what you would expect from a prestige guitar. The only flaw is no tone knob but this can be easily done with a push pull.

Ease of Use
The trem really is smooth as butter and it's very light weight. Not as light as my Parker Maxx7 but light compared to most 7 strings. It's a wildly comfortable guitar!

Quality
The quality is flawless as with all prestige guitars. read more

Value
This guitar I feel is perfectly priced and quite honestly feels and play better than some of my 4K+ guitars. You cannot get a better metal monster shredder for under 1800.00! Do not complain about the price and with zZounds payments you have no reason to purchase.

Manufacturer Support
I never had a problem but reached out to them about specs and they responded extremely quick.

The Wow Factor
When I opened the case I couldn't believe how flawless it is, the birdseye maple pops, the white dimarzio fushion pickups really add to the color scheme of the guitar. The flat orange is to die for and plays well with the birdseye maple. I am most likely going to pickup a 2nd one in white. Yeah this guitar is that good!
