Product Description

zZounds is an
authorized Ibanez dealer

For 2003, the RG guitar line - the unchallenged standard in hard and heavy rock guitars -- gets a massive infusion of high tech hardware and upgrades. The classic RG550 and RG570 models (now RG1550 and RG1570) reach new levels of lethal with the addition of Prestige necks and the new Edge-Pro tremolo system. Many deluxe and standard models have been upgraded with the new Edge-Pro II tremolos. The 2003 lineup offers every kind of instrument needed by the heavy rocker: 6 and 7-string models, neck-thru and bolt-on axes, double locking and standard trems and an equally wide range of prices.

Series Features:
For over 15 years, the undisputed standard in guitars for the hard rock player.

Pickups and pickup placement provide the hard-edged cutting tone needed for heavy rock.

24 fret thin, flat and fast Wizard and Wizard II necks. Rounder Ultra necks available on RGT3120 neck-thru-body models.

Wide assortment of bridges: Hard tail, synchronized trems and the new Edge-Pro and Edge-Pro II double locking tremolo systems.

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. zZounds is an authorized dealer of Ibanez products.

This review has been selected by our experts as particularly helpful. "Can't get enough of it!"

Sound: I have played over 15 different guitars and found that I absolutly love this guitar. The sound is clear, and clean. But, used with a distortion brings awsome heavy metal sound. Love It! Feature: The five switch selector is sick. Could ask for more. And the Tremolo brige that Ibanez put on it came from the Floyd Rose. Now, its better. Quality: The best. Love It. Blows the doors off of Fender. The paint finish is fantastic too. Value: I think its the best value I could find. I've played a few of those 1500 dollar guitars. It plays just as well. Manufacturer Support: Haven't need to call the factory yet and I've had it for 2 1/2 years. The Wow Factor: Already, Got it and every day i want more of it. Overall: I don't think I'll need a new guitar for a will. Even then I'll get the same guitar.

Style of Music: Everything
