History:
Purchase: I bought my guitar at guitar center in illinois 3 or 4 years ago. I paid, on sale for christmas.
What I Like About This Unit: I love my guitar!!! it's thiner and lighter both with the body and neck then fender's, but i think its an inch or 2 longer, and i like that. I believe it has better quality pickups then abother guitar under $350. (it might be more then $350 list, but i dought u cant find it under $350 somewhere)
What I Do NOT Like About The Ibanez RG: It has medium quality pickups... they have never buzzed when in a practice amp but they do a little with the bridge pickup when i use my 100w Line6 amp turned up really loud. the little plastic border around the hole for the pickup ed... due to me playing really hard and hitting it every time i pick a string for 4 years. and it kinda turned white... mabey the paint rubber off a little. but really for about 3 years there was not one thing at all bad with this guitar.
RG Quality: It's very durable i've spun around and hit walls, leaned it againt a chair and had it fall 25+ times, droped it in case while walking twice... it has 3 big chips but i put car touch up black paint on it and u cant tell it ever had a scratch! the neck it still on tight and overall one of the best built guitars there is!
Summary: I bought this guitar as a beginner guitar... i've been playing 4 years with it, i just started a band and plan on playing local concerts with it... i dont think i'll ever buy another guitar unless i win the lottery in which case i'd buy a $2,000 dollor guitar just for fun. This guitar seems it will never break. The only think i can see doing in the future s mabey better pickups. If u want a guitar under $350 that will last long and is light and a tad thiner then normal buy this guitar now!
