MGR/James Dimebag Turner « Ibanez RG550LTD »
Published on 12/04/01 at 15:00I bought this guitar from the guitar, amp and keyboard centre in Brighton. I chose this model because it has a touch of class the other models just dont have. I recommend anyone to buy from them, they are extremely helpful and are willing to bust a nut to make sure you get your dream guitar. I think they now have an internet site - www.gak.co.uk, check them out.
I love this guitar in everyway possible. The neck is a super wizard type so if speed is your thing this is awesome. I play Pantera, Slayer etc so take my word for it, this guitar seriously rocks. The normal wizard neck isnt half as nice, so its worth forking out that extra bit of cash. The looks are awesome - the stage lights shine off beautifully from the mirrored scratchplate so you can blind the audience!
Nothing. Even the Ibanez hard case is top notch.
Ummm......excellent. The neck is bound, the body paintwork is beautiful. Its a bronzy, gold colour and i have never seen anything like it. The shark fin inlays are simply a finishing touch. The pickups are cool, the perhaps not perfectly alligned with the strings. The lows are low, and the highs are high, no noise either from them, so what more can you ask from stock pickups?
To conclude, this is the best Rg guitar for fast playing. Ive tried all the high end Rgs so take my word for it. I would advise anyone to get an ibanez with a super wizard neck if you can afford it - also the lo pro egde is the dogs willy for dimebag squeels, slayer style vibrato, etc etc. Buy one mothers! Contact me for any further info on Ibanez RG models.
