« Ibanez Rg5EX »
Published on 02/15/11 at 15:00I'm a professional live audio engineer with 17 years of experience. I play drums as my primary and guitar. I'm well versed in heavy rock, industrial, blues, and jazz.
I bought the RG5EX at Guitar Center for around $400. I was looking for a straight up rock guitar. After spending 30 minutes playing it in store, I was sold.

The RG5EX is a solidly built shred machine with a D shaped neck that is a pleasure. The jumbo frets are set perfectly on a rosewood fretboard. I also really like the inlays. The pickups that came stock with this guitar are actually quite nice using various gain settings and have a high output.
Like all floating bridges, tuning is a bit of a bear with NEW STRINGS. Be patient and strech your stings well and once they are broken in though, it will stay in tune really well. Even after dumping the strings to fully loose with the bar.
made of basswood, 24 jumbo frets, Edge III tremolo bridge
Pickup choice : 5-way switching
Bridge: Ibanez Infinity 4 bridge humbucker with an alnico magnet
Neck: Infinity 3 humbucker with a ceramic magnet
Middle: Infinity Single3 single-coil with an alnico magnet
I love this guitar. It plays fast and sounds great live or recorded. At $399, I will likely buy another one.
