All user reviews of 3/5 for the Ibanez RG1570

Everything has been said, I let you watch the previous opinions.
I just want to temper the advice on color: I ordered mine in RB (which looks roughly the metallic blue on the catalog), when I received it, it was purple sequined ... I know it's funky (in the sense of the word) and it fits well with my MXR Carbon Copy sequined green, but still a guitar hard-rocker/métalleux fucks it wrong ... You may say, I'm lucky, because as it has almost eight years, the varnish is super fragile and she saw a lot of things, it has lots of pets big and purple glitter all becomes so gradually in natural finish ...

UTILIZATION

The handle is extra fine, in order to more easily shredder, it is fairly well balanced, access to ultra-sharp is easy, but at the same time it is made for that.

SOUNDS

Good vacuum, the sound of the guitar is almost non-existent at the same time, given the amount and type of wood, one would expect.
Once connected, the silly sounds really pretty in contexts hard rock or metal. Sounds clean "metal 80's" full of chorus and flanger sound a lot, because they are just not correct. When properly adjusted, the vibrato works very well, you dive bombings and whatnot from our friends in tight pants zebra.
Of course, with a large high gain amp, it does very well, although his favorite sounds is metal / prog (the old Dream Theater, Symphony X, etc.). And sounds 80's thrash.

OVERALL OPINION

I've had almost eight years, and unfortunately it ages rather poorly, the varnish of the body cracks all over. At the same time, I was not particularly careful with the scraper. The price / quality ratio of the time was not too bad, I can not speak vis-à-vis the current market. Now in hindsight, I would probably choose a guitar with more character, although it filled me for a few years ...
