I received my RG6UC and I was absolutely blown away when I opened the case, first off the craftsmanship and finish and quality of this guitar can't be seen or felt from online photo's. This guitar is a real out of the box, walk right on stage live performer. Perfect 10 on setup, it was 100% dead on in tune, the action is unbelievably low (no buzz) and the tone with these pickups is like nothing I have ever heard. The Ebony Wizard neck is like your slicing through hot butter with a katana. This is my first Ibanez and now I get it, I have played Ibanez before but most of them were in the lower range and felt cheap, this guitar feels like a professional guitar ready for the stage, I have played many les pauls and I own some super high end strats. This guitar feels higher quality and better than any guitar I have ever played in 35 years of playing, you will instantly be a better guitar player on this guitar because of the neck and precision of this instrument. Made in Japan WOW, American made has nothing on these guitars as much as I hate to admit that. This is a keeper for life and I will be selling off some real long time favorite guitars I own and maybe buying another one of these to experiment with some different pickup combo's, the pickups in this guitar are on another level too and don't need changing by any means, they are the most HARDCORE sound from any guitar I have heard, but I could see having another one with other pups for certain situations. Even at almost $2200.00 I feel like I got this guitar at half price because it is really worth at least double this price if not more when comparing it to top of the line Gibson or Fender. I could go on but I don't have time to, this guitar is a true game changer and is ready for professional use right out of the box.
