Ibanez RG2550E Prestige Electric Guitar (with Case)

No longer available at zZounds
Wizard Prestige neck. Edge Pro tremolo. DiMarzio pickups.

The RG guitar line is the unchallenged standard in hard and heavy rock guitars. The RG2550 has a 24 fret thin, flat and fast Wizard Prestige neck, an Edge-Pro tremolo system, and DiMarzio pickups. Pickups and pickup placement provide the hard-edged cutting tone needed for heavy rock.

Features
Basswood body -- basswood is a comparatively lightweight wood, which makes it very comfortable for extended playing. With a good balance of highs and lows, basswood is right in between alder and mahogany in sound character.

24/jumbo frets -- jumbo frets offer easy playing for leads and chording.

Rosewood fingerboard -- rosewood offers a strong, bright sound and an attractive appearance with a long grain.

Sound
To start off....i do music a lot myself and i play the keyboard and as well as the guitar....first of all,what i would like to say is that this guitar actually has a killer sound which gives an aesthetic feel on any musician's hand! I have tried the RG470 and this RG2550E,to tell the truth....RG470 sounds beastly but this machine has various points of style for every kind of musicians! I actually played this guitar on the recording studio....and the sound which was produced after the finalized version of the song was just too bewildering....so i highly recommend this guitar for serious lead players and the riffers...;)

Ease of Use
The ibanez always kept most of their customers happy with the friendly interface on their guitars. The tones are not that difficult to modify... Believe me or not....if you use this guitar with the PODxtlive....i bet u r going to feel like that GOD just just transformed you to STEVE VAI or Joe satriani...the reverb,sustain and most importantly the GAIN is the main reason for that....

Quality
Overall....this guitar was made to perfection by ibanez....the finishing is almost as same as all the RG series...but the bodywork is quite a bit like the JEM...so you know how it is;)....and another useful thing about this guitar is...it is not at all that heavy....easy to carry around and thus...which makes it easy for musicians to take it on the stage easily. read more Well...basically,the cosmetic aspect never lasts forever on any instruments unless it is used on that particular way....so it is normally upto the owners to maintain that fancy cosmetic look.

Value
Yeah....it is worth every cents....judging by my overall experience with the guitars i have played...
