My New Ibanez (RG2550Z in Galaxy White)

So, after saving up for quite some time, I was able to pickup this baby. Its amazing to play on, especially after the GIO I had this feels great, its super fast, has the right fit, finish and the great tone I was always looking for. "WAY TO GO IBANEZ!!". Although, I've always loved Ibanez. Anyway, onto some features that I liked.


TREM: As a first time prestige user, I wouldn't be able to judge the improvement of this over its predecessors but of what I've played on it, it surely is amazing "THE EDGE ZERO" stays in tune even after a lot of trem use, doesn't go flat. The zero point system works wonders!! Though, I feel it could have been a bit more smoother. Also they say, it doesn't go off even if it breaks a string, I don't know about this as I haven't broken any strings yet. Also they provide you with the locking studs separately to be installed by the buyer!! this is something odd, they should have installed it themselves.

SOUND: It features H-S-H 5way switching Dimarzio/Ibanez Pickups, even though there might be folks who don't dig these, for me these have the perfect tone!! I must admit I don't play through a fancy rig to know much difference but these are very good. Listen to it here





ACTION/NECK : Out of the box, this was perfectly setup didn't have to do anything with it except for maybe just pick it out of the case and plug it ;). This guitar has the thinnest neck I've ever played on, took me some time to get used to it but damn it feels awesome!!!

FINISH: Well this has a pretty unique finish as well, the white has gold sparkles in it. Looks pretty sweet!! wasn't able to capture it in the pics.. but it looks pretty awesome in person...


Well that's about it I guess, Now for some Photos :)

For Sale : Dimarzio Breed (Neck) Pickup

Well, here we have a new open box, never installed Dimarzio Breed Neck Pickup.

UPDATE: Will also include a stock ibby pickup with the sale if the buyer wants :p

Description taken from dimarzio.com

If you've seen Steve Vai play in the last few years, you may have seen him playing an Ibanez® Jem guitar with the word “Pogo” taped on the face. Steve wanted one of his instruments to have a fat, classic humbucker sound to contrast with the hotter, screaming Evolution®-equipped guitars. These are the pickups we developed for him. The neck pickup is a bit louder and fatter-sounding than the PAF Pro® pickups that Steve used on his earliest Jems. The bridge pickup is not as hot as the Evolution®, but it's got a warm and punchy mid-range coupled with a fat low end that rolls off before it can get muddy. Harmonics are easy to get, and the 4-conductor wiring coil enables cool "notch tone" coil-splitting.
Recommended For: Neck position on bolt-on trem guitars, bridge position on set-neck fixed-bridge instruments.
Tech Talk: The Breed™ is a bit louder and fatter-sounding than the PAF Pro®s that Steve used on his earliest Jems. As a neck pickup, it has more than enough power to balance with high-output bridge pickups: it will work with the Tone Zone®, Super Distortion® and Evolution® as well as The Breed™ bridge model. In the bridge position, it has a very warm, hot PAF® tone--really smooth, with nice harmonics.
