Ibanez RG1570MRB

Rating: 8/10

It's a fantastic guitar to play. It has a very fast neck, a very nice bridge and a lot of sustain.
I only give 8 to this guitar due to its pickups. They're good, but for this price level, I was expecting a bit better sounding. I'll probably change the pickups sometime.

I have one Fender strat and an Epiphone Les Paul, so this is my third guitar. I was looking for a guitar to improve my solos and this one clearly does the job. I it also a quite light guitar (the opposite of the Les Paul) allowing me to play for a long time.

Neck and finshing: very well finished guitar. Neck is thin and fast

Tremolo: This guitar uses EdgePro tremolo, a kind of FloydRose. Very good and also well finished

Action: it came with quite low action but E and A were buzzing a bit. But, it's so simple to change action on this guitar that problem was solved in a moment.

Pickups and sound: Ibanez pickups are the weakest part of the guitar. They have good sustain but could sound better. Single coil pickup is clearly the weakest.

So, this is clearly a guitar designed for soloing and to use with a lot of distortion. If you want a more blues guitar, go get a strat. But if you want some soloing/shredding (and you can't afford a Ibanez Gem but you want enough quality) this is guitar have an excelent price/quality racio.
