zZounds Gear Experts Say...

The Ibanez RG1570 is a striking guitar that plays as well as it looks. A 5-piece Wizard neck and IBZ pickups make the RG1570 great for heavy music.

Overview

For two decades, the legion of RG warriors has grown like a virus, thrusting the RG to the head of the metal pack. Fast, flat Prestige necks, rabid pickups and double-locking trems combine to create sonic demons from beyond the world of mortals.

These are the machines of the gods... with drop dead good looks, sonic lethality and the devastating power and control of a precision Edge Zero bridge with ZPS3 spring system or Edge Pro bridge. RG Prestige guitars feature flawless Japanese craftsmanship, the finest materials and each is axe perfectly matched with DiMarzio IBZ pickups.

Features

- Fast, flat and thin 5-piece Wizard necks with Prestige
- Finishing for supreme comfort
- DiMarzio IBZ pickups deliver rabid rock tones
- Gotoh precision tuning machines

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.

Without any hesitation, the best guitar for the green! I have bought 700-900 dollar guitars and put 3-4 hundred in them to get them to feel, sound, and play the same way this one does straight out of the case and was still left wanting. THIS GUITAR ROCKS!

Sound
Running through my RP300 and Marshall MG250DFX, it's like stepping outside your body and watching a pro go to work. The neck is effortless, the pickups are crisp, the tone is spot on for metal, rock, or grunge, and the feel of the trem is tight and returns right back to zero when released. I absolutely love this guitar!

Features
The 5 way gives you such a deep goody bag to pull from. I usually have to switch over to my Strat for blues, but drop this baby down to the bridge and dump the tone and she's as sweet sounding as any Fender I own. Again.... I LOVE THIS GUITAR!

Ease of Use
Fuhgettaboutit! Having played every major brand of axe out there, this is without the doubt the easiest to traverse whether scaling or lighting it up. Have I told you... I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS GUITAR?!

Quality
This guitar is flawless from top to bottom. Only thing I would even contemplate changing is making the black a sparkle finish like the blue... very hot! Other than that, all the components are way above average and even eclipse those of other guitars costing hundreds if not thousands more. AWESOME GUITAR… read more

Value
You won't find a better guitar for a grand, period. Unless you catch someone really hard up for cash wanting to offload a JEM.... if so, contact me immediately, that's the ONLY guitar I would take over my 1570...PERIOD

Manufacturer Support
I've been playing Ibanez for 7 years now and anytime I have had ANY issue, they have been absolutely outstanding on taking care of me and my "toys". Ibanez is a force to be reckoned with.

The Wow Factor
She's sexy and fast, what more could a guy want?
