Ibanez Review: RGR270-dx

History:

Purchase: I bought tis guitar from soem guy in liverpool. I saw his ad on the loot. I'm not sure how much the RGR270-dx is originally, but i picked mine up for £350.

What I Like About This Ibanez RGR270-dx: This guitar is great for all types of music. It is best for metal, rock, punk. You can still use it for other stuff emo, ska etc, but it was made for metal. My model is all shiney black.This gives it a good look. It has a backwards head (this takes some getting used to if you're used yo using a normal head). The backwards head give the guitar a good look. The body is well shaped. It has two humbuckers and one single coil. The humbuckers are great for heavy stuff and the single coil can be used for acousic. It has locking nuts which help when you can't be arsed tuning your guitar everytime you play. If you want to fine tune you just use the little fine tuners on the trem.

What I Do NOT Like About The Ibanez RGR270-dx: The only things i don't like about the RGR270-dx is the neck. The neck is very wide making is abit difficult for those fast solos. Also it has locking nuts. sometimes if you tighten them to much it can make your strings weak, but if you have them to loose the strings can slip. Also the guitar is quite hard to clean and it picks up dust etc very easily.

Ibanez RGR270-dx Quality Rating: The guitar is constructed very well. It is constructed out of bass wood. It has good sound quality and plenty off bass.

Review Summary: This guitar is great! I would strongly recommend for anyone into the heavy scene.

Rating of this Ibanez product: 4
