Open Box Ibanez RG652AHMFX Prestige RG Series 6-String Electric Guitar Level 2 Nebula Green Burst 197881448332

I ordered this guitar in February of 2022, and due to some complications with the "supply chain" as it was said to me, I finally received it in September 2022. As frustrating as that was, it was well worth the wait. This guitar is easily the best playing, best sounding, and most versatile instrument that I have ever owned. Everything about this guitar is flawless, or near to it. While it IS a bit on the expensive side, if you are an experienced and serious player, and want something reliable and suitable for any kind of genre, you can't go wrong with this, or any Ibanez Prestige.

Fantastic. It's probably the deal on a ibanez prestige you can get. Plays, feels and looks awesome. Only thing I'd like Ibanez to offer is a 7 string version WITHOUT the floyd rose. Because of this I went with the 6 string. No regrets.

This guitar is, first and foremost, stunning. I purchased the Royal Plumb Burst, but wasn't totally sure what I was getting as availability is limited. I was blown away by its presence once I opened the case, the pictures just don't do it justice. Out of the box there was some set up needed, the action was way too low and buzzed everywhere, the truss rod was also needing a little attention, but this didn't bother me because I knew it had spent a lot of time in another region of the country, with a different climate and had been set up to function there. Once it arrived where I live, everything is different and the wood reacts to this. So a little time was spent setting it up over the first few days. Once it was set up, this guitar out preforms every guitar I've ever owned, from weight to tone. The pick up selection and pick up combo are excellent! This guitar, while geared to shredding, plays some of the best clean tones I've ever heard. It is truly versatile and can fit in to any genre. I suppose the feel of the neck is preference, but once again, I was blown away. The thin, multi-radius, neck profile feels fast as soon as you touch it, and it is... VERY FAST. Overall, this guitar is much more capable than I am and has inspired me every time I've picked it up. You get so much more than what you've paid for here. PS; the Birdseye Maple fretboard, is gorgeous, and the fret ends have been cared for nicely

After really enjoying playing an RG standard at GC, I decided I wanted a Japanese Ibanez. This guitar is gorgeous. You open up the case and it's a plush red velvet contrasting perfectly with the sexy nebula green burst. It is incredibly easy to play! Has a perfect balance slung over your shoulder or resting on your thigh. They didn't cut any corners with this instrument. Pros: - Black chrome hardware looks slick - Neck very thin and flat. Not just for shredding! Strips of walnut add a touch of elegance. Satin finish makes this a fast neck. Jumbo frets feel great. The birdseye fretboard is gorgeous. Locking tuners are robust. Stays in tune like a boss! - Very clear difference in pickup output from neck to bridge. Bridge gets nice and dirty when the volume is up - Pickups are a bit hotter than I expected, especially the tone zone in the bridge, but dialing down volume cleans them up very nicely (when you want them to be clean). I'm guessing the hot pickups are for shredders, who are a target Ibanez consumer. The parallel mode is a sweet addition allowing pickup to sound like a single rather than a humbucker - Pickups have dimarzio embossed on them, but it's subtle and not visible from a distance- branding isn't as obnoxious as on seymour duncans - Volume and tone knobs are knurled making them easy to turn with just a touch and resistance is light and smooth. Great gradual effect (doesn't just jump from 100% to 10% when you turn the knob only a tiny bit) - Action can be set super low and bridge is very comfortable to rest your palm. No sharp saddles as on some tune-o-matics - Amazing custom-molded guitar case that looks sexy and has a hard plastic outer shell. Form-fitted for this guitar - Guitar comes with a multi-tool with everything on it, even a short metal scale Cons: - The fret markers are just dots, not inlays - Doesn't come equipped with straplocks - Pickup selector feels cheap compared with the rest of the hardware, but has authoritative action otherwise
