That said, the neck-thru construction is a bit rare in Ibanez guitars, so that's definitely a plus. You'll have to look that up yourself if you decide to ever replace the bridge. To make matters worse, I'm not sure if they're replaceable with other Edge models. I find it feels cheap and doesn't flutter like I'd like it to. I'm also not a fan of the bridge they use.

I found a few flaws in the few models that I played throughout the years such as sharp fret ends, but that's kinda to be expected for MIK and MII guitars. The guitar is a well put together guitar.
98 IBANEZ RGT 42 PRO
The guitar features a mahogany body, five piece maple/walnut neck, rosewood fretboard, 24 jumbo frets, sharkfin inlays, an Edge Pro II or Edge III bridge (depending on when it was made), two humbuckers, one volume, one tone and a five way switch. They were originally made over in Korea, but they moved over to Indonesia later during the years. The RGT-42 is part of the "budget" line that Ibanez has. This guitar is great for any type of guitarist, especially the shredders out their. The body hasn't chipped or anything, the construction has been fine. My teacher has one of less expensive guitars that comes from the higher end factory (about the same price as mine) and they are comparable in quality. This guitar is from Korea, but is one of the best guitars out of that factory. Ibanez has two shops, the higher end guitars are made in a shop in Japan and the lower end guitars are made in Korea. Thats all i can think of on the downsides.Īs i said before, the hardware has been great.

For a guitar player who likes to go between drop D and standard or whatever other tunings you like, the lock might be a pain because its takes a while to re-tune. A great guitar.Īs i said before, i love the tuning lock because A)i love using the wammy bar with deep drops and whatnot, and B) i seldom stray from standard tuning. I also love the nech-thru design, it feels awesome. The guitar is playable as well, light and agile, and the bottom cuttaway (unlike my last guitar) goes right down making all 24 frets easily accesible.

The floating tremelo is by far the best i've ever played, its sensitive and smooth and just perfect.

This guitar is a shredders dream! To start with, the hardware is great quality, tune lock thing is great (for guitarists like me, see below for details) the pickups sound bright and are great for distorted sounds as well. The exact same guitar was at the store new for $770.00
