Running through my RP300 and Marshall MG250DFX, it's like stepping outside your body and watching a pro go to work. The neck is effortless, the pickups are crisp, the tone is spot on for metal, rock, or grunge, and the feel of the trem is tight and returns right back to zero when released. I absolutely love this guitar!

The 5 way gives you such a deep goody bag to pull from. I usually have to switch over to my Strat for blues, but drop this baby down to the bridge and dump the tone and she's as sweet sounding as any Fender I own. Again.... I LOVE THIS GUITAR!

Fuhgettaboutit! Having played every major brand of axe out there, this is without the doubt the easiest to traverse whether scaling or lighting it up. Have I told you... I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS GUITAR?!

This guitar is flawless from top to bottom. Only thing I would even contemplate changing is making the black a sparkle finish like the blue... very hot! Other than that, all the components are way above average and even eclipse those of other guitars costing hundreds if not thousands more. AWESOME GUITAR

You won't find a better guitar for a grand, period. Unless you catch someone really hard up for cash wanting to offload a JEM.... if so, contact me immediately, that's the ONLY guitar I would take over my 1570...PERIOD

I've been playing Ibanez for 7 years now and anytime I have had ANY issue, they have been absolutely outstanding on taking care of me and my "toys". Ibanez is a force to be reckoned with.

She's sexy and fast, what more could a guy want?

This guitar sounds great with the pickups it has. but if i was doing live shows i would probably put some seymour duncans or dimarzios. I use a fender 25 watt amplifier with this guitar and it sounds just fine. This guitar is great because it can play rock metal, blues, etc.

This guitar came with some decent things. the most important thing i thought it came with was the tremlo bar. This guitar came with everything it needs. only thing i wish it came with was a good tuner because mine kinda stinks.

Ive tried fenders, les pauls, and this guitar just stood above them. they didnt come close to matching the volume of the rg. Ibanez did a great job at making this guitar and it owns the rest.

The Rg was made very well the finish is beautiful. Although i leave finger prints behind on the finish i dont care because i just clean the guitar each time i use it.

Well this guitar was worth the price. the only reason its this much money is because the case is worth over 100 dollars other than that it would probably be cheaper than a fender.

I havent had any trouble using the support.

I love this guitar its great. the craftsmanship is incredible. the first time i held it in my hand it felt so right like it belonged in my hand. The mirage blue is hot i saw the red and thought it was alright looked too gothic in my opinion. i got alot of compliments on the mirage blue color after bringing it to a friends house.

The pickups that came with the guitar were a little lackluster. I would've preferred higher output pickups. And because of that, I put a dimarzio super distortion in the bridge, and a Fast track 2 in the middle. I will be putting a PAF pro in the neck. I use it through a Roland cube 60, and it sounds great now.

Bar none, the most comfortable neck ever. Thin as ever, comfortable, and with well dressed frets. It's just a comfortable guitar, which is all I can ask for. The prestige neck alone is worth the money paid for the guitar.

Some of the paint chips around the pickup corners with normal use. I took some similar colored nail polish with the same color level and covered them. It looks fine now. The tube input jack is great, the hardware is great. The tremolo is mediocre, as I rarely use it anyway.

I bought it when it was 525, and for some reason it jumped up to 745 over a period of 6 months. For 525 it's spectacular.

No problems with the guitar, so i've never needed it. Ibanez gave me a lunch bag when I went to see a Paul Gilbert guitar clinic, so I won't complain.

The older royal blue was less flamboyant, and had less of a sparkle than the current one. I think it's great. The current one, however, not so much.

Great stock pickups, suited to shred, metal and hard rock, however, these pickups could do anything. The high notes cut through excellent for soloing, and the pickups are good for rhythm playing and chugging. I would recommend perhaps upgrading to dimarzio evolution if you are an extremely serious musician, however they still sound great. Great for pinched harmonics and distortion. Amazing sustain in the body and the tremolo produces all the dive bombs you may need.

The giutar came with a ibanez prestige hardcase plus all the regular allan keys. Woods used at this price are good such as basswood, maple and walnut, rosewood. The guitar includes the ede pro bridge which I find better than a floyd rose. The edge pro is on guitars 5 times this price so it shows good quality! Perhaps more powerful pickup, but for the price the pickups are fine.

The best bit of the guitar is the playability. The neck is simply superb!!! Everything will be faster, due to the slim neck! Simply the best guitar I have played on!The guitar can do any style so you can easily so you can easliy change the sound from vintage blues fuzz, to clean flanger, to death metal.

Nothing will break unless you want to break it. The finish will not wear away, the only thing is to be careful of is the locking trem bridge as they arent always the firmest of things. It came from Ibanez fine and is well made.

I would be prepared to twice the amount that i did.

Can't rate it as I have never had to deal with them.

Looks amazing, it looks best in blue, when you get up close to it, it sparkles.

Rock and shred

I Think this guitar has an excellent sounds overall. The 5 pickups options are tasty. I believe these pickups are more then appropriate for any type of music but they really lend themselves to Hard Rock and Metal. I would not change the pickups because they are very nice, especially the neck pick up which is better sounding them the EMG on the Dinky I had for a short period.

The guitar came with an excellent tremolo system, tools, very nice case. My mirage blue paint job is flawless and sexy.

This guitar is way better than most models I have played in terms of comfort. The feel is 2nd to none. This thing hugs me and the weight is perfect even for someone of a smaller stature like me. The neck is the fastest neck I have ever played. The only thing I had to get use to was the middle pick up getting in the way of my picking style.

The minute you open the hard-shell case you can see the quality that Ibanez puts out. The craftsmanship is perfect and the inspection process is clearly visible and documented with all paperwork.

I paid a great price for what I feel is the perfect guitar for me.

Didn't require any assistance.

This guitar makes you want to play it!

The Stock Pickups (V7 neck V8 bridge S1 middle)are more than powerfull to handle most musical applications, and given the pickup array there are more than enough tonal possibilites to play everything from country to shred (actualy this is a great shred guitar). Seasoned players will want to upgrade to more harmonically rich pickups.DiMarzio Tone Zone, Paf Pro, and the Evolution are exellent choices in regards to this guitar.

The Rg Prestige 1570gr I own has a basswood body, two humbuckers and one single coil pickup, rosewood Wizard Prestige neck with jumbo frets, Edge Pro trem, Gotoh tuners and is silver/grey.I will just put it on the line right now. This guitar is Amazing! The new EdgePro Tremelo is quite a improvement over the previous one due to new friction points that seem to dramatically increase sustain. My old guitar was a rg 320 and there is NO comparison.Where this guitar really shines is the neck. 100% Prestige, great flat radius and wonderfull action,Very thin.Word of advice;I bought my guitar at guitar center and got a great deal on it.But I tried every rg 1570 in the store(there were 5)The fretwork varies greatly so be aware and grab a good one!

Seems like a very well made instrument. I made a very thoruogh inspection of this guitar and it seems to be very well put together. No small cracks or blemishes in the finish. I have Played guitar for 18 years (10 years professionally) and I believe this will be one of my favorites

Overall this guitar was a monster deal, I still cant believe they can sell a guitar like this for this price.

Have had no need to contact support.

Im not much into asthetic, I was sold ont his guitar because of its sheer playability, but for all you guys who want to pick up the chicks this guitar would do it. Wear this guitar with a black suit and red shirt and youll look like a modern art masterpiece.Cool silver grey color that say's "Im here to smoke that ass"

The sound is unbelievably clear for this price range. I moved up to this guitar from a Gibson Epiphone G400 and i noticed the difference straight away. Ability to change and mould the bass and treble to your liking this guitar is not easily matched in versatility

Includes trem bar, allen keys, the case that it came with is superbley made and secure, i know it wont get damaged if knocked slightly. Adjustable fret board so if its cold or hot you can re allign the fret board so it is not tapered as much.

Extremley well made and secure. Playing it is now a pure pleasure as the fret markers are slightly wider than normal to allow easy solo playing higher up the neck.

This is worth every penny and i do not regret parting with my cash for this master piece

Ive never dealt with Ibanez directly only with my local supplier

The painjob looks great when doing an on stage performance, only problem is finger marks show straight away so cleaning is a must after every session

The sound is very versatile, it provides a good amount of crunch without blurring everything into staticy noise and it cleans up well when you want it to sing out. I play alot of metal and hard rock and it performs very well under both hard core jammin and soloing. I believe this guitar outperforms anything in its price range, and many others that are extremely over priced.

The features i like the most are the ulta thin wizard neck, that is extremely fast comfortable. You can play for hours and not tire out. Also the edge tremolo, I believe this is the best trem ever made, even better than the original Floyd Rose. You can jerk this thing into oblivion and dive bomb like a b-42 and it will always return to ground zero and stay in perfect tune. Also the guitar is really lite wich makes great for playing long sets.

This guitar is put together alot better than any other it its price range, and even alot better than most costing 5 times as much. This is definately a road worthy instrument.

If you are looking for a screamin' guitar that will be with you for years to come without shelling out thousands of dollars, this is the guitar for you. After coming across the 570, I wouldn't spend my money on any thing else. This is the best dollar for dollar guitar out there. It is worth alot more than what you will pay for one. You wont be dissappointed.

I own several of these and have never had any major problems.

This guitar has a such a multi personality sound. as proven by many guitarists, it can be used for many types of music

Mine came with a whammy bar. pretty basic but when your are using it with an unblocked floyd rose, the result is uncomparible

the only thing ive really notices is the flaking of the chrome on my locking system

in my experience, this guitar is alot cheaper then guitars that do not compare. i own a custom shop les paul, and after playing my rg, i am often disapointed with the gibson

this guitar has a really basic shape. i think there a few changes that could be made

hard rock and speed metal

It has the great Ibanez sound it can conform to many styles of playing I like mine very well.

wish it had floyd rose

the locking nut wore probably because the first owner was an idiot but I like it anyways

I got mine for a great price

It is so hot and sexy but not the best

Rock, True Grunge, many others depending on mood

the sound is a awsome you can play any style you want on it.

the treblo system rocks you never have to tune it and when you use the wammy bar it stays in tune.

it is a very well made guitar the finish is beatiful the neck is flawless

its worth every penny it should be more

never had to use it

it is a very pretty guitar i would buy it for the looks

The key board fits your hand like a glove. And with the right amp... sounds incredible.

Its got all modern featurs such as these things you twist so it never becomes untuned when you move the pegs. It also has fine tune knobs to make the sound perfect.

For the amount.. its a very excellent buy.

The silver makes it very noticible.
