Dude took the review to another dimension!! 😮🤘🎸
at last! a reviewer that can FREAKING PLAY! AWESOME!
I think this is my next guitar
Same!)
I got one about a year ago. Actually sounds impressive for a $400 guitar but the frets were not even close to finished, lots of fret outs when bending the higher frets and the nut fell off when I was restringing it last week. But when it’s properly set up it plays pretty good!
you probably bought it at guitar center
@@acutemadness I did 😂 it was during the lockdown so there weren’t many options
@@davidlane147 I usually only get instruments from them for trade-ins or when I don’t want store credit since instead of giving a higher value in that compared to cash like most stores, they give a discount on a new item if the manufacturer allows it when you buy something that visit; they don’t take care of their instruments very well and Schecter years ago had the best frets as Ibanez and Fender usually had the worst then. I’m planning to replace my current Ibanezs with RGAs down the road since I find that the RG and S despite having their sleekest body shapes don’t have as good upper-fret access; obviously they’re better than most other instruments, but the RGA seems to have the most for what they offer.
@@acutemadness I got a Charvel dk24 from sweet water last year. It was perfectly set up and the customer service was awesome! I’ll definitely use them again in future
@@davidlane147 sweetwater is a better dealer but ibanez seems to be the highest quality overall and they didn’t raise their prices like others
Who else was actually fascinated more by his playing lol!!
The guitar AND the playing.
Came for the guitar, stayed for the playing.
That first lick he does after the clean stuff was done, completely melted my face! 🤣
I own this guitar in Blue Lagoon and I love it. I bought it back in 2021. No issues and the stock pickups sound great.
Awesome playing man! Great sound and looking guitar!
In the clean tones and junk I like the bridge alone and both neck and bridge together most. A gorgeous guitar and My local music store sells it for $558.99. Amazing guitar for the money! Great playing too btw.
I think 560usd too much for this, moreover another guy in the comments says he bought it for 400dollars
That's too much. They retail for $429.00
I just bought a near perfect demo model for $411.00, after taxes from Sweetwater.
Surprised by the price point. Time to order
Great playing!🤘
Came for the guitar, stayed for the playing. Man this guy really plays.
Yesterday was the best day in the whole wide world yesterday I just happen to pick up my new dragon eye From our local shop bills music in Catonsville Maryland It’s definitely a light weight guitar definitely thin and very fast with the new wizard 3 The price was just right up my alley Now I have it in my collection and it stands out really nice very sharp looking guitar Thanks Ibanez
hey man can i ask how does the upper register of the frets feel? im coming from a strat so mine doesnt even play ring the notes.
@@Prey.Rock99 Kinda sounds like you are fretting out?? Best Regards!
@@Prey.Rock99 When I got mine the frets were not level at all and not polished very well. Lots of fret outs when bending on the high e. It’s slightly better now but I have to have the action pretty high so I don’t get dull notes. But the pickups sounds nice and there’s lots of sustain
Picked up a used unit in Dragon Eye for cheap. Easy action and the flame is luscious. It answers a lot of my needs and imho, it's the bargin axe of the decade.
This man plays like Hell dude!! very good tecnic!
Technique
How did you manage to sound exactly like Vai!
Note choice
Delay
This guy rocks hard!!
Could you recommend a set of pickups to upgrade this guitar. I'm interested in a versatile Dimarzio set to play different metal subgenres (Iron Maiden, Blind Guardian, Megadeth, Amon Amarth, Fear Factory). After doing some research, I learned about the Super Distortion + PAF Pro set. What do you think of this combination for the sound I'm looking for?
Hey dude, a little late to reply but I do have a Super Distortion & Super 3 in an old RG of mine and they're a pretty sexy combo. But the PAF Pro is a solid choice too and you can't really go wrong, it's just flavor. A real classic duo (and my personal fave) would be The Tone Zone & Air Norton. For the heavy lifting and more low end clarity you might also consider a more modern approach, like D-Activators for example. It's a tough choice to make, I know :D
I saw a few reviews of the Super Distortion and the PAF Master (neck) and i like the combo, i use the PAF Master for soloing and some clean Stuff and the Super Distortion for rhytim and more heavier stuff, sometimes i play a few riffs with it and sounds real good Marcelo, so i recommend that combo, other combo is what Elec. tears said, the Air Norton and Tone Zone are pretty good n.n)/
Try dimarzio tone zone and air norton
I've seen some hate on the stock Quantum pickups, but I personally think they're pretty decent. I've always found that Ibanez has the best stock pickups, aside from PRS.
Awesome guitar man
Great Guitarplayer 🤘🏽
played so good that i will put the guitar back on display and practice on $100 strat... time to lock in
Awesome shred!
sounds epic at 3:30 what amps pedals effects ????????????????????????????
that is called technique and hands
This or Cort kx300(has EMG retroactive super 77) I want to play metal and rarely cleam
Then you should go for CortX300. The advantage of Ibanez RGA series is 5 way selector which kind of mimics single coil in one of the positions.
lol I'm in the same dilemma, I don't know which one to choose between those two guitar models.
If it matters to you I couldn’t find a cort near me with a fully finished neck, very coarse feeling
i was looking at the same guitar but i cant decide between the BLF or the TGF i really like the black but not so sure about the red back also i love the blue but im scared that in a time the blue will be too much... what do you lot think?
which is better? in your opinion
Hello, Plz can you tell me the difference between this model (RGA42FM) and the RG421AHM. I am a beginner and like both these but don't know what is better for a beginner or the differences. Thank you
The finish of the guitar is the only difference.
Hello Lee ...the question is ? , Do you play ...join in any band, music projects ...??, Any link of you available ???, Thanks
Would I need file the nut to fit 11-54 strings on it? Or would it be fine as is?
I run 12-62s on the stock nut and it plays great
Thats an awesome review! Amazing! BTW. I just ordered a new rga same as that, is it ok. The factory set up on the bridge was high, strings were very far off on the frets. Do i still need to set it up? Thanks in advance. Cheers bro!!!
Dose it stay in tune after that last riff?
Well I'm sold
Solar had 80% shape on this model, or vice versa?
Bought the blue one tonight
golden hands
Very nice...
It's not flame maple wood but veneer
Judging by the reviews I've seen, I really don't like these pickups BUT hot damn dude, you'd make a broomstick sound like a 3000 dollars insturment, the playing was insane ahah
Own one, pickups just need an EQ and some good picking technique and they sound alright. Wouldn't hurt to replace them though
Forget the guitar what demon should I seal a pact with to play like that
2:04, seems perfect as an ending xd
What happened to josh? He abruptly leaves every channel he's on.
Aye, I wondered the same thing, hope he is well in any case.
he has his own channel now. Guitar Bros or smt.
@@snowduck616 I haven't seen a video from them in a long time either.
Really good guitar sound, but with a special guitar player😄👍
2:22 what's the name of that song?
It's prob improv
This guy's technique fucks.
Lee is probably the best guitar player in the world right now!
lol then you don't know John Petrucci
He certainly isn't, listen to Buckethead, Petrucci, Vai
TheDooo!
Does this guitar have tune fall issues?
Not much in my experience but I want to change the bridge out for an evertune.
Guitar made in?
Price?
🔥Nissssssssce 🔥
🔥🔥🔱🦄🔱🔥🔥
Wtff, this dude is a guitaring T-Rex 🦖 💪
I Think You Like Steve Vai!
Demo != Review
Enjoyed the demo though.
If this came with a whammy 😫 I don't need a floyd just a decent bar...
they have this same model with a tremelo
@@fisherhill7609 what's the model called
@@andrewnarzary7462 sadly it's a floyd rose I get you man I'd love if it had the sterling majesty bridge or something like that
@@someguitarist2729 music man just nailed it with their system tbh.. The best in the game no doubt!
You'll start with the clinton's?
brother...what was that first song
I’m torn between this and the RGRT421.
You should surely buy this beast
Dude me too, so which one did you go for?
Herman Pops still deciding. Now I’m torn between RGRT421 and RG 7 string. Lol I can’t make up my mind
If it means anything to you I got this guitar in the video at my local shop for 260 USD
badass playing......an inspiration for all us fat fingered players hahahahah

@Joss Allen Guitar ayYyYyy thanks bro, just found ur new channel. I told Chappers to shout out ur new channel after seeing the GBD channel got hacked. Glad to see you back man. 👌🏻
saw the guitars in person. not as great.
Really? Bummer, been eyeing an Ibanez for my collection for a while now and was considering this one. What was wrong about it?
@@imCurveee I'm still looking to get one I got to play one at the guitar center in fayetteville and I can tell you it's a good guitar
@@imCurveee it's a killer guitar
