2011: What pickups would you recommend for my new guitar?.2011: Warped Blues Rock (Seth Lover, PGn, Plexitone, Home made amp).2011: High, mid, low center frequency on tone chart?.2011: New Project:The Washeburn 'Nightmare' guitar.2011: Wanted: Tonebone and Tech21 Triac clips! Please!.2011: Look at this distortion preamp I quot madequot !.2011: Will the DD F spaced sound good in my RG?.2011: Where should I put my Classic Stack?.2011: Hard rock bridge pickup for a PRS Mccarty!.look up for the TRS and Lo TRS and the Edge 3 which are pieces of pure crap !!! the neck through construction is a pro on the RG which gives more sustain, the edge 2 haven´t played with it but i can tell that the Edge trems and Lo Edge are the best in the ibanez lineup, the quot ZRquot Zero Resistance bridges seem to be better but i dont know. I expect to save some money and go for the RG 2550 which is one of my favorite guitars in the RG series, my ibanez´s neck i think is a wizard II, it isnt as thin as the wizard but the prestige necks are thinner with a D shape not a C like Kindred says. My name is Jose and I am a RG´coholic or an Ibanez´holic, well i have a GRG which is a GIO model for the RG series. I wound up with a RG 7621 instead, which is quite awesome as well. I played several of them and really liked the way they played. You might consider the SZ series if you're looking for something with a fixed bridge. The Wizard II is a bit thinner, and has a flatter D profile. The Wizard is the thinnest, and has a slim C profile.

No, the RGT-42 has a Wizard II, while the RG-1570 has a Wizard.

If I find the RGT42 to my liking I will retain the stock 9's as the RG's don't seem to do well with a larger string gauge. When I played it in the shop it was great but I could'nt leave well enough alone and had the tech at sam ash put 10's on the 1570 and it turned into a buzzing piece of garbage. I am quite familiar with the 1570 as I just returned one. I can pull off some cool Dime style Harmonic screams.Īccording to the description of the guitar the neck seems to be the same 5 piece minus the prestige title that is on the 1570. The Edge Pro II seems to work well, very stable. If you like a thin flat neck they are awesome. Only thing I would say is I like the Wizard Prestige necks much more than the Wizard II. Floyds can't live with'em can't do stupid guitar gimmicks with out them.

That should add a little tone and sustain back after the trem is done ripping out the heart and soul. Oh yeah another interesting departure from the standard RG offering on this model is a neck thru design. It has the edge 2 trem and two humbuckers rather than the usual HSH configuration. Unlike most RG models this is mahogany with a maple cap in a transparent lavender. Looking at the latest sam ash ad and they have this guitar listed for $674.
