MGR/Radu_121 « Ibanez RG 170 »
Published on 01/01/03 at 15:00Well, i bought this guitar because i wanted to play like my idol KIRK HAMMET (dream on.....).I bought it from a shop in Dusseldorf, Germany called Pettersen and it costed 310 Euros.
Well the first thing i liked about this guitar was the neck, i meen it's soooo incrediblly fast and the action is very low,it has 24 frets and in my opinion it's very close to the perfect neck. Also it's a very flat neck, which makes huge bending very easy.Another thing i liked were the control knobs which were very abrazive so your fingers will never slip when u touch them.One more thing i liked was that this guitar is very well built, and the finishing and freeting is excelent for the price, belive me, exellent.Also , i liked the bridge humbucker which has a very powerfull sound and the middle single-coil which has a very warm-funky sound much like a fender.The last thing i liked was the tremolo, also very well built.
Ok, now the things i don't like about this guitar: well, there aren't many things i don't like about this Ibanez, only one thing: the input jack. Sometimes, when i moved around, the guitar wolud lose contact with the cable and the sound would stop.(imagine this happening in front of 200 people and you would fell just like i felt
((((((
Now, about the construction and quality, as i said earlier, it's exellent for the price, and i think this is the best guitar you can buy for the money (except for the input jack which can be easilly repaired by a profesionall)
Well, what can i say if you are a begginer ro even an intermediate buy this one because you won't regret it, i can assure you. Don't buy a yamaha pacifica or a yamaha erg 121 like i did (you can see my review for yamaha erg 121 and understand), save up money and buy this one because it's an exellent deal.
