Ibanez Guitars RG Range - Model Comparison

Музыка

A little confused by the huge range of Ibanez models? What's the difference between a Gio and a Prestige other than price?
In this episode we run through the Ibanez RG range of guitars; from the ideal beginner's 'Gio' range to the Professional 'Prestige' models.
Using the same environment and the same settings on my Laney Ironheart 2x12 rig we will play through the Ibanez Gio GRG170DX, the Ibanez Premium RG970QMZ and last but not least the Ibanez Prestige RG652AHM. All of the above fit into different price points and levels of finish but all do the job.

    Going straight from a GIO to the Premium is not a really fair comparison tho. Premiums are like 3 times more expensive. You should have had something like the RG370 in there to bridge the gap bewteen the GIO and Premium.

I'm not even sure if I want to get get a premium or prestige model, might just upgrade the spec on my RG370 to the level of th J custom (get the frets treated, Upgrade to DiMarzio pickups, upgrade trem, locking tuner, ect)

    If you're set on getting an RG, I would recommend saving up for a vintage 5xx model, like the RG550, 560, 565, 570, etc. They're basically the same quality as modern Prestige models (theoretically better than the Premium line), but you can sometimes find them for as low as $350. Average prices range from about $450-550, though the RG550 in particular can go up to $800 just because of demand.

    Going off on a tangent here, but speaking of the naming convention of the different Ibanez grades, I always thought it would make more sense for the top-of-the-line models to just have the name on the headstock. Words like "Prestige" just look so cheesy to me. Superior quality should speak for itself.

I have small hands and the super wizard neck is perfect. One thing I dont really like is the middle SC. But the rest of the guitar is amazing especially the ZeroEdge trem. The last one is my #1. My Prestige RGR . But those dimarzio pups were awful. Really depressed me after i spent almost 2g's on it. Put in some SeymoreDuncans distortions in there and It is perfect for me. Ibanez is a great company and always makes great products in every price range.

    Older post with great content being an Ibanez RG fan since the 80’s finally getting my first RG570(JB) in 89’, later around 07’ picked up a RG370DX(whitew/sharktoothinlays)& in 20’ I bought the reissued RG550(NP)”Genesis” and still play all three! I’ve owned Fender American Standard Tele & Strat also a Gibson Les Paul Studio. I got rid off them over time just keeping my RG’s for the music I like to play and the wizard necks made them feel like they were made for me. Just an opinion from a player starting in the 80’s as a teen. Only one I regret getting rid of was the butterscotch Fender American Standard Tele I had picked in the 90’s but always Ibanez RG till the end for me!#Ibanez#RG#570/550#RG❤#🎸🤘🏻🔥

I’d definitely recommend the prestige line you can pick them up on eBay for really good prices AND they come with a really great hardcase.

I weighs almost 8 lbs. It has a Seymour Duncan JB at the bridge equipped with coil split, jazz at the neck with an original Floyd Rose tremolo. The dam thing kills most of my fenders and Gibsons. I just love it. Gotta check out some of these newer models. Great instruments. Just because an instrument is made in Korea or Japan doesn't mean there is no quality in the build. They have a lot of pride and honor when it comes to building guitars. Tell my music buds that all the time . Rock on!

    Totally agreed. I'm planning to rebuild RG 270 that just bought quite recently. Obviously it is a second hand and sadly, it's in a pretty neglected state. In spite of it, I already love this model (it's Korean and solid built) and would like to experiment with a few upgrades and restore it to mint condition. Will replace the pick ups with Dimarzio/IBZ Prestige set ( still keep the original HSH configuration) and also rebuild original Floyd Rose tremolo. I'll replace the original 6 saddles with new double locking ones. Hopefully it will keep the guitar in tune all the time. Have you experienced any problem with tuning (with Floyd Rose original) ? How often does it goe out of tune ? Anyway, the new set of 6 new saddles comprises of 3 matched pairs of different height; Low (E & e string), Medium (A & B string) and High (D & G string). It looks correct and right! A friend of mine assured me that it would be possible to do this upgrade in the old Ibanez fitted with the old Floyd Rose. Of course, it is going too be a challenge, but that doesn't deter me from doing it. The new saddles look cool! Each saddle comes complete with Locking Screw and String Retainer Block. Fingers crossed ( planning to start after Xmas, in new year)

    Stick it in the loop with E level at 9 o'clock FBack at 11 D time straight up and 800ms. Hope that helps man. If it still to there put a -10db pad on if your amp has one on the loop.

    no iron label? i love the iron label series because alot of them dont have that middle pick up which i never really had a use for and i feel like im going to hit it when i pick. i have an s series iron label and its a pretty sweet guitar. its super light, has passive dimarzios (i like passives better than actives) locking tuners, a silky smooth ebony fretboard and a great blue green burst finish. i know the prestige is the top of the line ibanez but the iron labels have more of the specs i like. ibanez is just a great company all around and the necks are incredible. thanks for the review.

For 630 euro i dont believe there are any better guitars out there than the Ibanez Premium.Great value.If you dont have the dope for a Prestige the premium are such cool guitars.

    Previously I used Ibanez guitars with Edge Zero II. It's a good bridge but: 1) It's difficult to set properly (just any type of Floyd Rose system) 2) Cost a lot changing drastically the price of guitar (in a cheap stuff of course) 3) Basically It has no effect on the tone Better use that money to put better pickups or woods for example...just like many Premium Ibanez guitars (:
