I got this guitar play it every day and love it with all my heart js ????
Solar has a simular looking guitar called S1.7PB, I wonder which will be the best to buy
On mine i changed the nut and add a 100k resistor( act as high pass filter ) wired serial with the bridge pickup hot wire at the pickup selector. Sorted the mushy low end and sound more killer with the kemper.
Great riff at 0.18 in the intro
That action looks horrible or is that just a bad photo ?
Cool man!!!! Great video! . p.s. That RGD has made me seriously consider getting that thing on Black Friday/ My Birthday!
I love this guitar. Ibanez midrange (axion label) is pretty good for the money compared to the high end models.
Vack in the day when Ibanez used to produce the cheaper line in korea. That stuff was really great for the money too.
This sub zero thing is for stainless steel frets only. There are no nickel frets with sub zero feature. I own an Ibanez RGD71ALMS from the axiom line (the one with purple-blue-green finish, fishman fluence pickups and fanned frets). This has sub zero stainless steel frets and I can only tell good things about it. It feels slightly different in the fingers too. Hard to explain.
I almost bought an Ibanez back in the day
I dont get it. If they had added stainless steel frets and a graphtech nut this guitar would have been perfect. At least the but man. Buyng a graphtech nut costs 10 bucks for us endconsumers. Ibanez would get these for so cheap.
Du no why but I hate Ibanez guitars except the bass section,don't like the fretting space especially higher oneck
Another great review. I think where the Prestige line reels me in a bit more is in the value retention and resale value – at least currently. Things could change though. I'm also not crazy about the wood choice on this neck personally since I don't like an open pore feel on a neck. Hard to keep clean depending on how they're finished. Even with that small subjective qualm, this is a great sounding and eye catching guitar!
Bareknuckles ????
My observation…… For the money change the nut this ???? is ???????? I don't think I've ever heard tones that brutal yet on your channel and believe me as much as I'm a fan of your channel I've heard sooo many killer tones you make this one just really stands out. I can hear every note even in those insane gain tones. Those BN pick-ups look insane . Badass playing and riffing as always brother have a blessed day dude ????????
Great review and great guitar. I really would like a review of the RGD 61 ALET on DropA or another low tuning. I am thinking about getting that guitar but cant find any review with low tuning.
Even if it was 50% of the guitar the prestige was (I personally think I prefer this for half the price), this looks like a more premium guitar with the aftermath pattern carried over to the body, but that’s just me????
And personally I think this set of pickups sounds better than the fusion edges.
Keep up the good work!
Another great informative video. I prefer the Japanese made. As an ESP LTD guitar fan, I really like this Ibanez guitar, but I prefer the Japanese one. I believe these two Ibanez (Indonesia and Japan) it has an exact same story with LTD and E-II guitars which the quality is very noticeable. Keep up the great work bro.
Bumped into one of these in a PMT while picking up a midi controller, it looked very nice and had a feel of that lovely neck because why not? Great review as always!! We want more, tell Dan to send you all his guitars to review ha ha 🙂
Great review as always BTW
The problem with Ibanez is they unnecessarily release too many very similar guitar models with not very different specs or character. For god's sake why to produce so many prestige models and do bulls..t.
Do create couple of class/models for each body shape and that's more than enough. Today's prestiges are like usual RG series 10 years ago
Oh hey I'm recording a few songs with that one and the rgd71alms lmao they work better than a few 3k+ guitars we got laying around in the studio so they definitely nailed it with these. Happy to see you using the kemper more fam, makes me happy as a kemper user haha
Edit: I've had the 71alms for about 2 years now and used it heavily, so far the frets have held out without any issues so the treatment is pretty damn good from my experience.
This is sick! Great playing like always.
Gibson used to offer something similar called cryogenically treated frets. Didn't last very long iirc. Not sure why and IF the treatment actually did something
positive.
Good review as always. Cheers!
Edit: Holy shit, man. You were not lying about those pickups. They sound absolutely superb!
Noticed in the last few reviews you were using the Kemper. Falling out of love with the HeadRush or just wanted to change it up?……..HeadRush Prime review?
beautiful axe dude and the pu's outstanding
This would be perfect with a reverse Headstock
I'm an Ibanez player with 5x Ibanez guitars and right now, they're in la la land. They're off making all that new age multiscale, headless etc stuff, and the 6/7 string RG's that most of us will use are totally neglected. Barely anything with stainless steel xjumbo's, except in the super pricey range. For me in Australia, it's like $3000+. Schecter just released their new Sunset guitars for $899 USD, ($1500AUD in my country Australia) Half the price, with xjumbo stainless steel frets, graphteq nut, locking tuners. Ibanez's at the same price have a plastic nut and shitty nickel frets they don't even bother to polish properly. Getting a bit pissed with Ibanez now, it's like they don't give a fuck about their users and just want to milk us for the privilege of having the word Ibanez on the headstock.
My brother got this guitar recently, absolute beauty ????
