All user reviews for the Ibanez RG2550E

Everything has been said I think:
- Made in JP
- Edge Zero tremolo
- MSM, DiMarzio / IBZ for 3 (non-and split-but hey .. you will not buy an Ibanez RG for funk)
- Jumbo frets
- 5-way switch
- 1 vol / 1 tone

UTILIZATION

The handle is ultra comfortable and is a real highway. It is rather flat and wide, perfect for the bends. No concern at the access to acute.

The action is pretty low. For those who prefer a more high, they can always pay directly through the small screws on the bridge / floyd.

The guitar has a strat shape but is slightly heavier, yet it is very well balanced and I do not think 500grammes more or less makes you tired shoulder much when you are on stage.

Small flat on my level on this guitar: the floyd. If you use it too as barbarians (like me), the guitar désaccordera despite mechanical blocking present on the headstock. Nevertheless, one can adjust the bridge to become a bridge "fixed" or so for him floyd could be used only in one direction like a vibrato. I chose to do it like that over and no worries.

SOUNDS

I have a little more original stuff: Fender Super Champ Amp, metal muff distortion (electro harmonix) and Boss DS1, Overdrive Vox Joe Satriani, Compressor T-REX CompNova.

In clean: The sound is really good. Mics dmz / ibz are really versatile, I prefer to limit its clean my deluxe strat player. In my opinion the neck position + 2 intermediate positions are really good: claps enough to funk and reggae (intermediate shaft) is crystalline (via bridge), it is warm enough for blues and jazz. The intermediate position handle can even be used for blues riffs. In short, really try, you will understand.
I am not using the bridge position in clean, it really has value 0. You have "everything" you need on the handle and two intermediate.

In distortion / metal / shred / fusion: The guitar is made for it .. I do not think I need to explain. The bridge pickup is the most accurate and done really well out harmonics. It does not leave her a dirty or rough.
Same, to test to really see the possibilities of this microphone.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it since 2007 and before I had a Telecaster on which I had put in a Hotrails easel. The Tele is a guitar that I love but it's a different style. Otherwise I played on LTD Eclipse 1000 Deluxe Player Strat and on.
We will compare what is comparable between the Eclipse and the RG, I'll buy the RG through its access to acute (yes, it is the metal to the shape of a Les Paul for the last 3 boxes you break fingers) and microphones DMZ / IBZ.

The +: intermediate positions that are clean and in a crazy bridge pickup very specific distortion / metal
The -: Floyd has set. I've put more vibrato mode, and it suits me very well

I no longer use the guitar because I have acquired a Vigier Supra. The RG Prestige is still the best value / price that can be found in this range of metal guitar. It is versatile in clean and distortion and it has a lot of mouth. For those who are a little reluctant, they can go home Charvel, Jackson or Ltd / Esp, but at this price point, there will be nothing better in terms of config and comfort.

I put 8/10 because in the end, I switched to the competitor Otherwise you can go to Ibanez eyes closed

i have been playing electric guitar for about 8 years .most of the time im playing heavy metal and rock stuff like megadeth ,metallica , dream theater ,satriani,queen and deep purple

i paid for it 900$.
i acquired this uint because it was the best guitar that i can find that was i my budget.


the 24 fret neck is very thin i think that this is the thinnest neck that i've played.
the action on the neck is very low so you can play without any effot.
the Edge-pro bridge is very comportable and the guitar dont get out off tune.
the dimarzio stock pickup that come with the guitar are very good(pleasant surprise ) but im going to put steve's special in the bridge and air norton in the neck .
the 1,3,5 pickup position are very quiet comparing to other guitars(even the single pickup)
im using marshall G50 RCD amp and boss MT2
good distortion and clean sound very suitable for metal and rock.
the Set up direct from the factory was very good.
this guitar is awesome for shreding!

the 2,4 pickup position got annoying hum and thier volume is bit lower comparing to the other position

Wizard Prestige neck
3pc. Maple Neck Material --give great sustain
Basswood Body
24/Jumbo frets
Rosewood Finger Board
Edge Pro bridge
DiMarzio IBZ (H) Neck PU
DiMarzio IBZ (S) Mid PU -DiMarzio IBZ (H) Bridge PU


great guitar
highly recomended if you are playing metal sfuff but it also very good for rock and blues for my opinion.
im very satisfied with it and if it would stole i will buy the same guitar.

This review was originally published on http://www.musicgearreview.com

All been said before! Apart from the fragility of the patent on some models, for a guitar of this range, it is almost perfect!

UTILIZATION

The handle, a highway! It gets off at all levels. If this guitar with a reputation more metal, it does very well with the funk like the blues.
The clean sounds are of high quality films!
It weighs its weight but with a good strap, its going alone!
I play with a balckstar ht5R and sound in my opinion are the best in its class (power 5W)

SOUNDS

The neck and bridge pickups are great for large distortions. intermediate micro allow a wide variety of sons.Je prefer the bridge pickup, more aggressive, more incisive with a tube amp!

OVERALL OPINION

I have this guitar for almost a year, I've tested a lot before buying. Do not hesitate, hand it is really affordable for a quality / price unbeatable!
My opinion is totally subjective, test it before
I put 9 / 10 because nothing is perfect!

3pc Super Wizard neck
Basswood body
Large frets

DiMarzio IBZ-S (S) mid could

UTILIZATION

A good metal guitar for the very fat
a very nice attack on the handle and a good floyd

SOUNDS

Sound fat enough, thanks to the 2 x dual microphones with a large distortion that happiness
but its pretty clear pati sound is not too bold top top

but good good good use mtal

OVERALL OPINION

Great value more qualitprix c Ibanez.

http://www.ibanez.com

UTILIZATION

The handle is gnial.
Super Fine, promoting the game faster.

SOUNDS

Doulbe with 2 "-Di Marzio" and a simple, it can go. But the di-Marzio "for Ibanez" is a hair-mons pchus a Di Marzio Tone Zone and PAF

OVERALL OPINION

The RG guitar is really a top for the price.
I tried a Music Man Petrucci: the sound is warmer on the MM, but the handle is similar trs.
Also, I find trs versatile and easy to play.
A marvel.

Basswood body
3dimarzio/ibz two double and one single:
DiMarzio IBZ-N (H) neck could
DiMarzio IBZ-S (S) mid could
DiMarzio IBZ-B (H) bridge could
Screw handle 24 cases a slim excelente for solos!
floyd edge pro super precise and well maintenance agreement!

UTILIZATION

The neck is super nice, flat, super fast solos niquel it! it is hard if you need to move the doight lol! access to your super simple fever is no need to bend the hand in every way to be reached! The guitar is super light! tan mieu by that after 4 hours of repeated scratching a heavy feel to it on the shoulder! the horminique do so is not easy but its probably me his!

SOUNDS

For the metal are micro Excellent is bold but his remains still quite precise! for its clear you have to go on the simple and have it get it's very nice super crystal-clear!! not saturate in it is perfect against the two doubles are not nice to give them!! but not be enough I find potato! but it is still very good! I play with a 100 mg dfx is known happiness is EXCELLENT!

OVERALL OPINION

I was two months ago is that happiness! Me is galleries the first 2 weeks because of a floyd because he was evil rule! and since I set all is going well! This scratch is really a good value price! if I had the choice again I still took the scratch !!!!!

It is a terrible guitar. Lo-edge Floyd, 24 frets.
The handle is a handle in Wizard stocky, very fine, very magniable.
Di Marzio pickups, which gives a very round and very heavy

UTILIZATION

The handle!! it is late, we just do what we want with.
Access in acute very very very easy. Lgre scratches, very light!
For they are, it is round, very saturated and very heavy, scratched with the jOperation 80W marshall amp

SOUNDS

Guitar great for all that is aggressive metal, very heavy rock ....
The sound is very fat very easy to have, especially thanks to two double micro Di Marzio! who, despite all the ragauts, more than enough to make a p **** n metal.

The microphone is poor ... simple but good, lol, lol pure metal

OVERALL OPINION

I am very happy with the scratches, 100% satisfied EXCEPT floyd that is set incorrectly in my, so a rope slut strips, nothing serious, lol.
Jsui fall in love with the scratches that I saw .... lol is to say, so when I tried it on the verge of collapse!

Report quality reasonable price, I think.

It seems to me that it is manufactured in Japan, or at least the adjacent area. It didpose a Bolt Saddle of Wizzard in 24 cases, a basswood body, a Floyd Rose Lo-edge and three DiMarzio as prcdemment deficits.

For more information: www.ibanez.com

UTILIZATION

The handle is an incredible quality! Not too big (you can walk around with your hand) or too late (it push the shape of the palm)! Trs smooth, electrically conductive, the strings are extremely close to the frets that make the game fast and very easy.

At CHAC in acute anything wrong, it is a form stratocaster, ibanez is more, and are known for their easy to acute ACCS.

As I said the form is type stratocaster which is good for playing comfort as sitting and standing. However I expected a more guitar lgrement lgre but in fact it PSE at least as much as GRG170DX (the low end of the RG SERIES), it says it ' ngatif is a point that is not so disabling.

In terms of its easy slecteur a 5 positions, a potentiomtre volume, tone and another round is played.

SOUNDS

I play mostly metal and this style of music it is perfect! However it is able to address is the softest and chalereux styles such as jazz or the blues. In the end I would say that although it remains trs Metal orientating (too?) Versatile!

I jou with a Hughes & Kettner Matrix 100 combo (100 watts) and I can assure you it sends! The clean is clean, smooth, without any default of parasite: the string sounds, talking a while and then falls silent ... Magic! I think we could be able to play lots of things, ob can obtain crystalline trs son sounds as sounds rounder and hot rolling! In distortion is even better! Forget the problem of spitting distos so you hear more than a pure sound with a notte other time (unless Obviously you have any effect that does it)! The distortion is straightforward, and sends its patatte violence makes its own but with breathtaking precision!

The only BMOL j'mmetrait that would be the fact that it can be a bit "too" clean ... If we try to get a good distortion "well couillue" and a bit dirty around the edges (the kind of distortion that would be perfect for Battery) faloir it will push the gain of the amplifier into a corner (unless your the owner of a peavey) and finally said that this is not a major inconvnient.

OVERALL OPINION

J'utlise this guitar for the past two weeks, although it is not me, and it is perfect anyone who wants to play metal (there's no saying it remains anchored in the registry) but not only the metal.

What I like most is its handle: a real highway! And precision: the pure end! A guitar solo in the résumé!

I tried an Ibanez GRG170DX and that's a different world! Obviously the price and it is felt it is necessary to compare what is comparable. This guitar is an instrument of exceptional quality and I think it may suit a lot of musicians looking for a high quality instrument even if the price is lev (when you love it does not count). However I advise all the same to buy it online.

Experience with the choice would be re Obviously!

The others have already answered that question ...

Made in Japan (by Team J. Craft)
Beautiful has 24 frets, pickups and 3 (2 doubles and 1 single) brand DiMarzio Ibanez
The bridge is a floyd
Also has a 5-way switch (expected result of three microphones), acute volume and tone.
The mache is a Wizard I (very fine) and screwed.

UTILIZATION

The neck is very thin, soft, and slide down to the handle is a pleasure.
Access to acute is really simple.
Ergonomics? The form is a killer, gorgeous color, the plate mirror (also very mirror since she was not RG2550E RG2550EX) gives one of the most beautiful effect ... His weight is still not pen! But it is widely supported in concert, especially with a padded strap.
The sound that comes out is really good after some adjustments (it goes without saying!)

SOUNDS

Here I will make a difference with the other comments!

I have no style of music, I'm very versatile ... and this guitar too!
As you will find a big warm sound, as you will find yourself facing a crystal clear sound that I like!
I play a Fender, the sound is still slamming to date! (Thank you Leo) and I also own a marshall ... saturated sound is huge!
If anyone interested in this project, I plan to take Line 6 (modeling), tried, and it is monstrous!

I have my things ... not much ... Zoom 707 II Guitar, Boss DS-1 (awful with a fender), so soon my Line 6 amp (Flextone III).
So really a guitar mid-range for all scratch ... even if you have cracked on his physique.

A beast of the thunder in every way!

OVERALL OPINION

I use it now for almost 9 months.
I like it A to Z.
Before buying it ... I tried a Fender Start '(Mexico), Les Paul Custom Epiphone home (yes Gibson had no right to touch), and to everyone's surprise, a knowledge of Vigier.
The quality / price is reasonable, versatility has always been expensive, but be aware that this version is sold in a case (in a flight case buffered the Japanese brand), and the finish is really good. But everyone can not get out of a € 1,000 hits, that's why I lowered the note.
With experience, I would do this choice, obviously!

For this visit the Ibanez will be more info on ...

I want to say is that my RG2550 amend am
Di Marzio X2N-neck
-Di Marzio Tone Zone S center
Evo-Di Marzio (X2N soon too)
I install the spring on the triangle floyd (nivo tightens the screws and remove the nivo vibrato) to limit the effect of detune in the big bend and increase the progressivity of the action of floyd
I also redid the entire wiring has the old with the addition of a very large capacitor and son Paraffined

UTILIZATION

The neck is awesome, despite the habit of the handle of my JS1000, this one makes a lot of delirium and optimism, all the precise sharp round and remains clean.

Touch lacks character but this is not exactly what he is asked.
the weight is common to other standards (fender, another RG etc ...) this is not a pen but ...

sound dry (unpugged) lack of safe but still credible
plugged in and it leaves me home on my hunger, Di Marzio IBZ is "gadget" from a real microphone and not worthy of staying on such a guitar. Sadly lacking in big Ibanez: electronic violin nickel but doubtful
PS: get on a Di Marzio IBZ S470DX to work wonders
Once this change the RG shows a potential monster

SOUNDS

For style, with a little practice, you just make it do everything.
Blues, arpeggios, heavy metal
with my installation it is very hard to get her 70's or a clean pleasant to the ear but good personal choice c
For even against the amps "blues" sounds metal!

OVERALL OPINION

I play with her for 1 year
my model has sleeve markers attached to the plate bronze mirror
I like the brutality of this model, especially with visual and auditory changes that go well

I already try several before RG
RG270, RG321FM, Petrucci etc ...
It is one that transmits sound best work of guitarist

I'm waiting to mount the 2nd X2N to finish the installation

I just regret the demise of Pink Floyd, replace Lo Pro Edge be pretty but not flawless

This is a Japanese
24 cases
2 doubles and a single Dimarzio Dimarzios
Ibanez Edge Pro Floyd (the best)
1 volume
1 tone
A 5 position selector micro
I think Ibanez Channel driver

UTILIZATION

Handle high-speed (normal is the ibanez) and ultrathin,
excellent access to the same acute 24th (watch out for big fingers ...)
Frankly it's weird:
For the first time in history Diban was not that feeling rotten guitar in the hands when we take a RG. In addition, although it is thick, it weighs only 4 pounds
The Floyd is a true wonder. At first it takes some time for it snaps into place but after that a killing! Not least detune or anything. We can grind in every sense and it is. (Together is one that is mounted on other prestige to € 2800 so it's perfect)

SOUNDS

The sounds are excellent. I play a lot of satch the sudden I need to have microphones and super polvalents it is.
I play on a Roland Cube 30 and it's great to be saturated in clear
Only concern is that I wish to be double and split.

OVERALL OPINION

I do ale since a short week and I am far from having discovered everything so my opinion is just a small notice but for now I love it !!!!!!!!
Quality / price ratio perfect, I was lucky I got it new for 30% less than the list price.

That says it all down

UTILIZATION

The handle is trs enjoyable, the view of the agreement is perfect, CHAC also in acute
ergonomic high quality guitar is taken in any position, the handle end makes the game fast, dust form the shape of the body.
to get the right sound, it takes a little searching, but it is obtained fairly quickly

SOUNDS

The metal is not bad, shred it for the top, the rest is a versatile guitar trs, we can all play a little prs
I use a Vox AD 30 VT mainly
the highs are beautiful, crystalline prcis and warm.
the mdiums, trs oh well Defines, for against, the bass is really my drooling GOTD that saturation increases, their level is not rponse gniale.
by consquent I think I'll change the pickups for a while rmdier ca

OVERALL OPINION

Used for 1 year
The +: treble, perfect for solos and wah wah
le-: bass, too runny
try other models before they taient more.
The report price is good quality.
I probably do it again this choice.

Everything has been said below

UTILIZATION

Channel super nice, very end. a real motorway. Access to acute is really easy.
Guitar kegère despite the very volume of the body.

We get easily a good sound thanks to the DiMarzio notament ..

SOUNDS

Beautiful .. I play shred, but in general the key to everything (blues, pop ,...) it gives me satisfaction for any type of style. the sound is pretty slamming into clean but can be round pickup.

OVERALL OPINION

I bought 600 of occazz a year ago .. It was purchased new 3 months before.
this choice I would do without hesitation .. really a good scratch

Made in Japan
24 frets (boxes)
Neck pickup: DiMarzio ® IBZ-N (H) neck could
Middle: DiMarzio ® IBZ-S (S) mid could
Bridge: DiMarzio ® IBZ-B (H) bridge could
Ibanez Edge Pro Floyd (the same which is mounted on the Jem and JS 1200 JEM7V for freak Satch and Vai, in short, what makes better now, or preque ... ^ ^)
1 volume
1 tone
A 5 position selector micro
Ibanez threaded sleeve (a highway ^ ^)

UTILIZATION

As for the handle is a beautiful and well-handled Ibanez RG, so a highway
But a good highway! Fast, a bit wide but flat. It is the chords and arpeggios without any problems ...

Access to acute? Hey, hey ^ _ ^
EX-CEL-LENT! (Ibanez RG forces). And for those or those who do not know, Ibanez is known to have very good access to acute (even at the 24th fret).
To better explain, it marrive to be back at the 21st fret when I wanted to go to the 17th ^ _ ^.
Because in fact I played before on a Squier Fat Start 21 frets and increase by 3 frets and more with access to acute as simple ... It changes ... haha (But hey matter of habit).

In terms of ergonomics, bha no problems, either standing or sitting. No problem. It does not sting the nose or vice versa. (Weight: 3.4 kg, 0.1 kg - Start a classic).

SOUNDS

Which is great with this scratch is that it may well be a little metal type (it depends finally see a lot lol) is that you can get all kinds of sounds ...
I'm just someone open to all styles of music ...
I try to play a little bit of everything and scratch my favorites are: Slash, Stevie Ray Vaughan (SRV), Joe Satriani and Steve Vai ...
So here what, blues rock, jazz, rock, hard rock, pop rock, metal, thrash metal (Metallica is thrash metal's) ect ...
So here, this guitar can really play any

I am fortunate to have two amps, one for solo play (a Roland Cube 30) and one to play with my hard rock band (Marshall 60W combo of 20 years old ...). And I get very well to make it sound on my little 30W

With these great pickups (DiMarzio Ibanez) is not necessarily having a super hot typed his jazz / blues (neck pickup), intermediate neck / middle => a super crystal-clear sound.
In the middle, a very acoustic, but I find it lacks a little fishing ...
Intermediate middle / bridge => funky sound
And when the bridge pickup, a special one for large disto ^ _ ^

So I put a 9 / 10 because it is very versatile and really nice as config 'mic ...
It is not really play any style of music

And just information ', the Dimarzio Dimarzio IBZ are real. These are not copies like Duncan Design. These are actually Dimarzio pickups designed specifically for Ibanez. They are impossible to buy a hand ...

OVERALL OPINION

I use it only for 3 days and I'm really happy
It is really pretty and classy. The picture given on the website of Ibanez is not very talkative ... I mean, the guitar is much nicer. It is quite dark and a plate mirror "dark pink" which is placed disappointed (do not hesitate to ask me for photos).
I think what I like least in her is the fact that it can be a little too dark when there is not much light, the absence of the white line on the head (but good, it is replaced by "prestige" ^ _ ^) and the fact that it can be a little too typical-looking ...
Aside from that, I love it!
I bought a ocaz to 750 €, it has only 11 months and nearly new (and I was in a house with a rigid and up to € 10 more).
Otherwise, the fine comes with an Ibanez hard Pouche.
New, it has sold about € 1100. I think at ca RAPORT money is a good 8 / 10 ...
This fesait over a year I was looking for a new skyscraper (with additional room makes the sound and music in Paris). On a pointer objectively, I think it's a really good guitar
In the future I would do probably this choice ... Unless you fall on a Jem 555 1000 or JS at that price lol
Anyway the fact of not having a signature guitar, can not feel obliged to know how to play the same things the guys even him ^ _ ^
I'll try to do a TEST VIDEO on YOU TUBE in a few days.
And for those who hesitate, send me a mail for all types of questions or requests for photos.
Hoping to have been useful for someone
