MGR/Tim « Ibanez RG-270 »
Published on 12/11/03 at 15:00i bought this baby al e-bay for 250 euro's (at the moment about 260 dollars)
I've been playing for quite along time and was interested in buying a Ibanez RG guitar. I chose the RG 270 because I was looking for something that wasn't too expensive but wasn't a piece of miserable crap. And this is exactly that and more. This guitar is very comfie to play, the contoured body is nice and the thin wizard II neck is very nice. Its a real advantage that the neck has jumbo frets. Its relatively light weight compared to some other guitars. The pickups are also pretty good. there not fantastic and there not crap but good enough for playing any type of music from punk to metal to hard rock to blues and clean stuff. It also stays in tune very well, Ive only had to tune it once besides changing strings and Ive had it for almost a year. Beside this all it a very good looking guitar J
Right now there is nothing I don't like about the guitar. One thing is that the pickups tend to buzz a little but it is no problem(unless you are a picky little brat) and it can be easily solved.
this guitar is very durable. The construction is great I haven't had a problem with it in the time that I have had it. the guitar is very sturdy and can take a beating. this guitar would last you a long time.
It's good for amateurs or professionals (though professionals got them expensive guitars I'd probably never touch)... It's not the best at clarity if you look for the CLEANEST sound, but on the bright side, it's also not the worst - Not even close. It's good for beginners because It's comfortable, compactable, and with special care, it will last for a long time. I mean, I put this guitar through hell and it sounds awesome. Just to imagine someone who uses it with no abuse, even better? So basically, you can play slow, or go all out, and get the same results. It also has 24 frits so you can get all the sounds you want. The guitar is still small when it has 24 frits, which makes it easier and faster to reach the notes. Ibanez always seems to have a good feel by the way their neck is constructed...It's Good to feel the music, Right? If an instrument frustrates you cause of the lack of good construction, of course someone is not going to like playing it. Like a piano with scratched, jagged ivory that feels like sandpaper. This guitar won't do that to you, the feel is just perfect! I thought that it would break in two years or i needed to do some operation on it. It turns out that the guitar will last for 20 more years, like the Explorer I talked about in the beginning. Don't misjudge it until you've played it, okay?
