NGD: Ibanez RGD 320 (first extended scale guitar)
« on: September 25, 2010, 08:32:42 PM »
I went out into town today and tried about 15 different guitars including, fenders,gibsons,esp,ibanez and a few deans (even though id never want to own one)

I ended up trying a few of these RGD's to pick out the best one and found one that was really balanced and loud acoustically and it just plays like a dream

I thought the extended scale would be a problem at first but i barely notice it at all and im loving the tension in D standard.

anyway this is the guitar

I got the white one as the gray burst ones werent actually a burst at all in person and were just a boring gray and well i love white gutiars anyway.

The stock pickups arent actually half bad (not exactly BKPS but theyre decent) The only problem i have with them is theyre a fair bit brighter than the BKPS i have in my RGA.

Currently i have no plans to replace them.

I cant find my camera atm so pics will be up tomorrow with a soundclip too, im thinking something by testament should suffice.

If you arent keen on it having a trem then theres also the version with the gibralter standard bridge which is the one i have on my RGA its really solid and you can really fine tune for the intonation with it.

as promised heres a clip, I have decided that i actually really dislike the bridge pickup on this after playing my BKP'd RGA straight afterwords  :lol:

So i've sent an email to Tim to check what he suggests im kinda hoping he says the painkiller will work well as i've fancied trying one for a while.
