Channel baritone 27 "24 frets
EMG 808

UTILIZATION

The handle? Of madness!
This is an 8 strings but the neck is fine, very fine! Very Ibanez neck but still has something special.
I had a RGA8 is nice but the handle is different ... I was not comfortable with it.
On the Prestige, no pb.
The handle is really nice to play one of the best that I've ever played!

Sound: EMG, 8 strings ... this is not really for the ride.
I've never had EMG before, but I find these pickups rather well!
It's pretty accurate ... etc.

SOUNDS

For my style zik: yes (djent and whatnot like that).
I'd had a choice, I would probably put Bareknucle above, not that EMGs are not good, but because I used to play on liabilities.
I play Peavey 5150 + Mesa cab V30: it does what.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a few months.
+ As mentioned above, I had a RGA8. It's nice but entry level ... we clearly feel the difference with the Prestige.

What I like +: handle! and box (very nice!)
The least? the handle! ahaha! Nah it's just that I would have preferred a pitch + long.
I already played 7 string 27 inches in drop G # (drawing 70) and I love it.
For 8 strings, so I must tie up in the damn.
29/30 inches would be great.

Price / quality ratio: not the best.
Let me explain: the RG2228 Prestige is a really good scratch but nine price it stings anyway ... for that kind of scratch.
Personal: This is not my guitar main I use to experiment so stick euros in 1800 ...

On occaz on the other hand, it's great.
You find that between 1000-1200 euros and there's the fact considering the quality of the guitar and the case (and yes it is not bad!).

With the experience I would do this choice yes. But if I can get the same, the same inning with a pitch of madness + long there: I hesitate.
