MGR/Satish A. Dass « Ibanez RG570 »
Published on 03/23/03 at 15:00I bought this off a website for 400 usd. I tried it at guitar center and this kicked butt. So I decided to buy it.
Metal, jazz or Blues, it can play it all. But HALT! I also use a Boss gt-6 processor, so that helps to kick the tone of the Guitar. The neck is very easy to play on, especially playing fast. Playing solo's is very enjoyable with the neck pickup. The bridge pickup is good for playing crunching riffs, for example some of those crappy new metal bands like Sparta, Linkin Park, Chevelle and a whole load of others (they dont play solos because they can't!). They suck but this guitar does not.
You must be thinking why I am writing a review if I said that I use a boss gt-6, because that makes the difference. But I used a fender "made in USA"
telecaster that cost a fortune, and that guitar plain sucked. It could not play Blues or Metal, just a really crappy guitar. Thus I would definitely recommend you to save your money and invest it
in an Ibanez RG570. The sound is warm, sharp and crystal clear. No fuzzing. The middle pickup sucks majorly though.
Oh Boy, I love this guitar to death but tuning is such a pain in the neck. After changing my guitar strings, I spent an hour and a half tuning it. But once it stays in tune it remains like that for a good period of time. Floyd rose tremolo's are in general a pain to tune your guitar. The tension of the whole guitar changes eveytime you make a minor change in tuning. One change makes all the strings out of tune. Next bad point is that the Floyd rose is not an "original floyd rose", but a licensed floyd rose tremolo. But not a problem at all. It does the job with perfection. And least of all, the fretboard has really simple inlays. I wish it had a prettier design. The guitar does not come in exotic designs either.
Well made, very solid and slick. I wish Ibanez could make 16th till 24th frets more acessible. Quality is very good, the output jack did go off once but I fixed it. Can be done very easily. Need not stress about it and happens rarely.
I would choose this guitar if I did not more that 500 dollars to spend. If I had more that 500 dollars to spend, I would buy another Ibanez guitar say for example the Steve Vai guitar. That has some pretty designs and also a very good sound. I cannot compare how much better or how much worse. But THE IBANEZ RG570 IS AN AMAZING AND A VERY PROFESSIONAL GUITAR. TRY IT AND BUY IT.
Cheers!
