That looks a lot nicer in your pictures than it did on the ones in your poll thread. Pretty sweet dude.

....in' groovy, tiger!
That finish is '70's-a-riffic. I absolutely love it. Awesome, Donholio. ![]() |

I think this finish is "hard to see" ... I'm not sure if you know what I'm talking about, but I don't really get any feel for it from pictures...like I can see it but I don't "know what it looks like" if you catch my drift.
Definitely an interesting finish, it's weird...you can't really be like "whoa that's ugly I'd hate to have that" it's more like "whoa that's weird, I want to inspect it some more" |

Well, I think I'll be sending the RG1570 back to Musicians Friend. I'm noticing more and more finish issues. The edges of the body and headstock are more bumpy than I originally thought. They are everywhere. And there is a big run in the clear on the top side of the headstock. I originally said it had a few flws but this is turning out to be ridiculous. Sure, it was just going to be a kicking around at home guitar, but for $750, it should be better.
And Zimbloth had issues with his RG1527 recently. What's happened to the quality control at Ibanez? The last new Ibanez I bought was when the RG1527s came out a few years ago. I remember it being pretty damn nice all around. ![]() |

I bought a black '04 RG1570 when they first came out and the finish was probably the best thing about it (i think it just looked real sleek 'cause it was real glossy black).
It was the actual technical issues with mine that sucked. I didn't like the EP trem at all. Did a full and meticulous set-up job on it about 50 times (slight exaggeration)but i just couldn't get it sorted. It was one of those guitars that seems impossible to get the action low enough without having unacceptable fret-buzz. To get one thing just right you had to compromise another. The piece of rosewood they used for the fretboard was bottom of the pile stuff too.Loads of open/end grain and no colour to it. I was really dissapointed because it looked gorgeous but i just couldn't live with it. Unfortunately i convinced myself otherwise until i'd had it too long to send it back so i had to ebay it in the end.It just had to go. Since then i've always bought pre-Edge Pro era Ibanez guitars and they seem to be in a different class altogether. I've always told myself that i just bought a bad 'un but maybe not.Maybe that's just how they are these days. |

Ok, something is seriously wrong with this guitar. I'm no slouch when it comes to fully floating trems and I just spent 3 hours trying to get a set of 10s to work on this damn thing. No matter what I do, I cannot get the thing up to standard pitch.
Maybe the trem posts are ....ed up or something. When I bought that RG1527 a few years ago, it worked like it should. This thing is a lemon. ![]() |
