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.

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!

Feature:
Bar none, the most comfortable neck ever. Thin as ever, comfortable, and with well dressed frets. It's just a comfortable guitar, which is all I can ask for. The prestige neck alone is worth the money paid for the guitar.

Quality:
Some of the paint chips around the pickup corners with normal use. I took some similar colored nail polish with the same color level and covered them. It looks fine now. The tube input jack is great, the hardware is great. The tremolo is mediocre, as I rarely use it anyway.

Value:
I bought it when it was 525, and for some reason it jumped up to 745 over a period of 6 months. For 525 it's spectacular.

Desirability:
The older royal blue was less flamboyant, and had less of a sparkle than the current one. I think it's great. The current one, however, not so much.

Sound:
The pickups that came with the guitar were a little lackluster. I would've preferred higher output pickups. And because of that, I put a dimarzio super distortion in the bridge, and a Fast track 2 in the middle. I will be putting a PAF pro in the neck. I use it through a Roland cube 60, and it sounds great now.

Support:
No problems with the guitar, so i've never needed it. Ibanez gave me a lunch bag when I went to see a Paul Gilbert guitar clinic, so I won't complain.

Overall:
You will, no doubt, fall in love with this guitar. You'll do a few modifications and it will be your favorite.

Feature:
Includes trem bar, allen keys, the case that it came with is superbley made and secure, i know it wont get damaged if knocked slightly. Adjustable fret board so if its cold or hot you can re allign the fret board so it is not tapered as much.

Quality:
Extremley well made and secure. Playing it is now a pure pleasure as the fret markers are slightly wider than normal to allow easy solo playing higher up the neck.

Value:
This is worth every penny and i do not regret parting with my cash for this master piece

Desirability:
The painjob looks great when doing an on stage performance, only problem is finger marks show straight away so cleaning is a must after every session

Sound:
The sound is unbelievably clear for this price range. I moved up to this guitar from a Gibson Epiphone G400 and i noticed the difference straight away. Ability to change and mould the bass and treble to your liking this guitar is not easily matched in versatility

Support:
Ive never dealt with Ibanez directly only with my local supplier

Overall:
I expect this product to keep me satisfied for a long time, extremely fun to play, extremley stunning paint work (sparkling blue) Everything about this guitar is what i wanted and needed.

zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
Feature:
This guitar came with some decent things. the most important thing i thought it came with was the tremlo bar. This guitar came with everything it needs. only thing i wish it came with was a good tuner because mine kinda stinks.

Quality:
The Rg was made very well the finish is beautiful. Although i leave finger prints behind on the finish i dont care because i just clean the guitar each time i use it.

Value:
Well this guitar was worth the price. the only reason its this much money is because the case is worth over 100 dollars other than that it would probably be cheaper than a fender.

Desirability:
I love this guitar its great. the craftsmanship is incredible. the first time i held it in my hand it felt so right like it belonged in my hand. The mirage blue is hot i saw the red and thought it was alright looked too gothic in my opinion. i got alot of compliments on the mirage blue color after bringing it to a friends house.

Sound:
This guitar sounds great with the pickups it has. but if i was doing live shows i would probably put some seymour duncans or dimarzios. I use a fender 25 watt amplifier with this guitar and it sounds just fine. This guitar is great because it can play rock metal, blues, etc.

Ease of Use:
Ive tried fenders, les pauls, and this guitar just stood above them. they didnt come close to matching the volume of the rg. Ibanez did a great job at making this guitar and it owns the rest.

Support:
I havent had any trouble using the support.

Overall:
i expect to be satified with this product for a very long time probably 10-15 years and keep it and buy something better.

Feature:
The guitar came with an excellent tremolo system, tools, very nice case. My mirage blue paint job is flawless and sexy.

Quality:
The minute you open the hard-shell case you can see the quality that Ibanez puts out. The craftsmanship is perfect and the inspection process is clearly visible and documented with all paperwork.

Value:
I paid a great price for what I feel is the perfect guitar for me.

Desirability:
This guitar makes you want to play it!

Sound:
I Think this guitar has an excellent sounds overall. The 5 pickups options are tasty. I believe these pickups are more then appropriate for any type of music but they really lend themselves to Hard Rock and Metal. I would not change the pickups because they are very nice, especially the neck pick up which is better sounding them the EMG on the Dinky I had for a short period.

Ease of Use:
This guitar is way better than most models I have played in terms of comfort. The feel is 2nd to none. This thing hugs me and the weight is perfect even for someone of a smaller stature like me. The neck is the fastest neck I have ever played. The only thing I had to get use to was the middle pick up getting in the way of my picking style.

Support:
Didn't require any assistance.

Overall:
I am very satisfied with the product and I hope to make it last for awhile.

Feature:
The Rg Prestige 1570gr I own has a basswood body, two humbuckers and one single coil pickup, rosewood Wizard Prestige neck with jumbo frets, Edge Pro trem, Gotoh tuners and is silver/grey.I will just put it on the line right now. This guitar is Amazing! The new EdgePro Tremelo is quite a improvement over the previous one due to new friction points that seem to dramatically increase sustain. My old guitar was a rg 320 and there is NO comparison.Where this guitar really shines is the neck. 100% Prestige, great flat radius and wonderfull action,Very thin.Word of advice;I bought my guitar at guitar center and got a great deal on it.But I tried every rg 1570 in the store(there were 5)The fretwork varies greatly so be aware and grab a good one!

Quality:
Seems like a very well made instrument. I made a very thoruogh inspection of this guitar and it seems to be very well put together. No small cracks or blemishes in the finish. I have Played guitar for 18 years (10 years professionally) and I believe this will be one of my favorites

Value:
Overall this guitar was a monster deal, I still cant believe they can sell a guitar like this for this price.

Desirability:
Im not much into asthetic, I was sold ont his guitar because of its sheer playability, but for all you guys who want to pick up the chicks this guitar would do it. Wear this guitar with a black suit and red shirt and youll look like a modern art masterpiece.Cool silver grey color that say's "Im here to smoke that ass"

Sound:
The Stock Pickups (V7 neck V8 bridge S1 middle)are more than powerfull to handle most musical applications, and given the pickup array there are more than enough tonal possibilites to play everything from country to shred (actualy this is a great shred guitar). Seasoned players will want to upgrade to more harmonically rich pickups.DiMarzio Tone Zone, Paf Pro, and the Evolution are exellent choices in regards to this guitar.

Support:
Have had no need to contact support.

Overall:
The only upgrade I will be making to this guitar is a PAF Pro in the Bridge and a ToneZone in the neck. After that this thing will be shredding up a storm...Watch out Paul Gilbert here I come.
