MGR/Toby Joiner « Ibanez RG770DX »
Published on 03/19/03 at 15:00Sounds Live in Newcastle, UK for £699
Only manufactured for a short time with Dimarzio pickups before Ibanez downgraded the spec I think to the RG660DX, this guitar represented superb value for a great instrument. Fantastic wide neck with very low factory setup action. Awesome tones between the three pickups from sweet glassy clean to thrash and beyond.
In the UK it is quite difficult to get spares for worn parts, like whammy bar bushes. As a result have had rattly whammy bar for ages. Other than that, absolutely great.
Candy apple red finish with stylish clear scratch plate. Body mounted pickups give better sustain. Old style neck mounting is a bit uncomfortable at the high end of the neck.
Fantastic professional quality guitar for a not so professional price. Been superb now for years, just wish Ibanez didn't keep discontinuing guitars of such high spec for poorer copies.
