Ibanez RGD7, Video... - Page 2

gunshow86de · 01-15-2010, 05:58 PM

Oh man, I must have an RGD2127. That curves and cutaways are so aesthetically pleasing, and I'm sure very functional to boot. I was browsing the new Ibanez site, and the RGD makes the RGA look old a clunky by comparison.

It is, isn't it?

If not then .... that for the money!

For $1500 I'd rather get a custom with a color other than boring flat black and pickups I wouldn't have to upgrade.

Nope, basswood:

this is not correct right? a misprint at the Ibanez website? The tuning I mean, not the scale.

RGD2127Z

A 26.5" extra long scale neck, with factory-set whole step down tuning. (Factory tuning: 1D, 2A, 3F, 4C, 5G, 6D, 7A.)

I believe they've done this in the past as well with some other guitar(s).

BrainArt · 01-15-2010, 06:25 PM

It's awesome they have a video for it, but a guy from Emmure? Really, Ibanez? Give it to someone who can show us what the guitar can REALLY do.

Hire me, I'll do it.

Unless you are getting a Carvin (if you consider those custom), good luck finding a custom guitar for $1500.

This guitar looks so good I might even consider buying it... even if it's basswood, even if I have to upgrade the pickups.

I think it's simply the best body shape I've ever seen.

And it should be functional too.

I also like the position of the toggle. And the toggle. And the black colour.

ShreddyESP · 01-15-2010, 07:58 PM

WANT!

Prydogga · 01-15-2010, 08:04 PM

Hmm sounds like the new V pickups actually do sound a bit better, sounds like they have a bit more clarity.

I thought the BFR JP7 body was the best, but I like this one even better!

Andii · 01-15-2010, 08:42 PM

That thing is awesome. And the prices mentioned are great. Japan made Ibbys are really high quality stuff.

are you going by the sound from that guy playing? I didn't think it sounded flattering at all. then again, i started to cringe as soon as he hit the first note, so theres that. lol

Sounds better than my 1527 so they're at least an improvement.

I have to agree, that sounded exactly like the V pickup sound of old. Not good.

However, stick some Blazes in that sucker and we're ready to go!

Another thing I've always wondered: the Infinity pickups in my RG321MH sound way better than the V pickups, so why don't they use instead?

Leec · 01-15-2010, 09:46 PM

....ing stunning. Do want! Love the switch, the looks, the bevels, the scale, the locking trem inclusion. Everything.

Prydogga · 01-15-2010, 09:49 PM

Man after alot of thinking I may have to get this, and another thing I'm strangely excited about it the grip on the volume knob, looks cool

where the hell can you buy those things at? I've been searching around for a place that sells the knobs on the petrucci music man model to no avail. these look really similar, I'd go for either if I could find a good place to buy them.

JerkyChid · 01-15-2010, 10:30 PM

*muted the vid*

s'all good now

I hate superstrats but that is one of the few I would own, just not crazy about basswood

rareform707 · 01-15-2010, 10:38 PM

emmure is a joke in my opinion

no offense to any fans...
but damn! im sold on that guitar i think...the 2120 looked like a much nicer finish than the black

and the 26.5" scale!

hopefully the price wont turn me away

edit: just noticed the 2120 model isnt a 7...shucks

possumkiller · 01-16-2010, 07:49 AM

lol I like the new touch horn thing and the S series top on it. What a douche. That video is much better with no sound. Ibanez better be glad I really liked the RGD anyway because that guy isnt gonna help them sell a damn thing. That tone sounded like shit, the playing was even worse, and that guy sounds like a moron when he talks about guitars.

JPMDan · 01-16-2010, 08:01 AM

I still like the guitar design but I don't care about the player. They still should give us a production version of Chris Broderick's RGA.

willyman101 · 01-16-2010, 08:03 AM

Yeah they could have at least got someone who wasn't playing total shit the whole time, and who didn't look like a complete tool. Other than that this thing is sexy... I wouldn't buy it cos I'm giving up sevens for a while.

To the people complaining about pickups... surely by now we all accept that Ibanez stock pups are shit and NEED to be swapped out?
