    Japan

    zero edge

    wizard

    24 cases micro HSH Ibanez in collaboration with DiMarzio

    a volume knob, one tone knob and 5 position

    UTILIZATION

    The handle is an autobahn without speed limit, true to his reputation, 5 plies maple / walnut rosewood fingerboard.

    Perfect ergonomics, balanced, light, it does not move an inch, great.

    Access to the last string is could not be more simple.

    In terms of sound you get what you want! micro config is very balanced

    SOUNDS

    Yes, micro different configurations are really effective, you can do everything.

    You can play metal rhythm "palm mute" etc ... no worries, but not that you'll be surprised sounds clear, crystalline …

    You can play metal rhythm "palm mute" etc ... no worries, but not that you'll be surprised sounds clear, crystalline solos, crunch or funk riffs played on this guitar, everything happens as a letter a post.

    wah wah cry baby, and blackstar ht1 for now (apartment)

    I love playing modern solos with just a hint of reverb, this guitar was born to shred!

    OVERALL OPINION

    I just have.

    this is not my first RG

    I love the neck pickups

    The quality / price is right

    I piles up again without worries

    Replacement of the RG-2550E

    Ibanez RG2550ZPublished on 10/14/11 at 18:55
    The RG-2550Z is the replacement of the RG-2550E. It's pretty much the same as the last model, but this model has the new Edge Zero trem installed. Just like the last one, this has a basswood body, maple neck with a rosewood fretboard, HSH configuration, 24 frets, volume knob, tone knob and 5 way switch. It also has the wedge sharktooth inlays and a pickguard installed.

    UTILIZATION

    Just like the last one, this model is well put together. The biggest difference would probably be the new Edge Zero tremolo. It features the same features that ZPS system which basically acts as a trem stopper. One problem some people have with floyds is that you can't easily downtune them. When th…

    UTILIZATION

    Just like the last one, this model is well put together. The biggest difference would probably be the new Edge Zero tremolo. It features the same features that ZPS system which basically acts as a trem stopper. One problem some people have with floyds is that you can't easily downtune them. When the ZPS system is used, you can downtune to your hearts content without worrying about spending 30 minutes trying to adjust the claw just right. Also, when you break a string, it'll still stay in tune. That said, I prefer disabling this system as it feels somewhat unnatural when doing certain whammy bar techniques.

    SOUNDS

    The pickups in this model are the same as the last one, so they're somewhat bland sounding. Once you replace them, the guitar really comes to life. I'm a big fan of using DiMarzios in basswood bodies, so I generally choose something like the Breeds, Evo 2 or the such, depending on what tone I'm going for. For lead tones, basswood sounds great, and rhythm tones work out very nicely for progressive/fusion style music.

    OVERALL OPINION

    If you're looking for a new RG, this is a pretty good model. A lot of people will enjoy the Edge Zero with the ZPS, especially with its ability to easily intonate it. However, others seem to have problems with it, so I recommend trying it out in the store first. If you're not liking it, try disabling the ZPS system. That's how I recommend running these guitars. After a quick pickup swap, you're good to go.

    - What is so special that you like most and least?
    very good guitar in general. As stated above in I regret that no nya old strap lock base.
    PEIT special point on: Edge-Zero bridge w/ZPS3. Take the time to read the instructions before and after tampering with your settings a pure killing the vibrato. Very easy to adjust. It remains just above s'acharner granted. Feeling a little strange at first when the main draw but it is very very very fast.
    the best licensed Floyd Rose vibrato that I've tried.

    a good 10 ene

    yes, is a model that suits me perfectly.
    A guitar has to try if you have the opportunity
