I impulsively bought this guitar a few months back and I’m in love with this thing, it plays smoothly and sounds fantastic, the action is fantastic stock and fretting is a breeze and I’ve gotten so much more skilled with complicated riffs using it since then, if you’re looking to get it I’d highly recommend it’s so comfortable to play and is a STEAL
This is the BEST series in high gain on yotube, quick and sharp, streight to the point about sound and aspects, and with time marks in the video. Well done to the involved ones!
Can tell this thing plays awesome. Great distorted and clean Sound. Comfortable playability. Stays perfect in tune. Only the craftmanship could be some better but hey it is for playing. All in all a 9/10 for the good Price. Edit: Also after 1 1/2 years this thing rocks… Neck is super comfortable, always love to grab her…
Awesome demo of this guitar. Nice job. When I was reseaeching this guitar before purchase your demo is actually the only one of this guitar and because of your great job the only one needed. Good job man. Nice riffing.
I like everything about the guitar but the pickups. they just aren't doing it for me, so I planned in swapping them out and maybe getting a 3-way toggle swatch instead. everything else is fine about it.
I can't find my RG420WK (anywhere) online. Honestly, do people hate the damned thing? I've had mine in a case for years, only to bring it out to dust it. It's in mint condition with no scratches or marks or fret-wear of any kind. It has been plugged in to an amp only twice. It's been discontinued, and no more information is readily available about it. I wonder if it can actually be a rare one.
It's tough to go wrong with either, Brian! Give us a call if you've got any questions or for our UA-cam family deal on this one or the Jackson: (800) 800-0087 ☺️
@@kschab I ended up with a used rg6003fm with Seymour Duncan invaders. I liked the Jackson but couldn't pass up the other deal. Jackson neck is nice for over all playing, didn't care for the pickups as they are ok for decent distortion and cleans are mediocre. Ibanez stock quantum pickups and 5 way switch allow for more variety of tones. Although the invaders kick some serious butt . If I could have found a Jackson with better pickups I would have gone that way. The Jackson's stock strings ,nut and tuners are inferior to Ibanez as well. My 2 cents.
I didn’t need a setup when I played it but, I would never pass on a guitar is it needed a setup out of the box. Guitars travel long distances in most cases and various weather conditions.
I wouldn’t. Drop G is baritone territory. With this scale length, you’d lose tension and playability and you’d need super thick strings which typically lack tone. Drop C would be the lowest I would personally go. Cheers

What’s the weight like? Hopefully not 10lbs like the ash model
Im with you on impulse. Watched 2 videos of someone demoing it, bought it straight after lol. Coming tomorrow, I'll let you know what I think :)

Just ordered this guitar in black colour❤can’t wait to have it😱❤️🤘
Man...think I'm going to get this guitar because of you !
Awesome playing and video man! I recently bought this - now I just need to learn to play like you. :)
The color is dark .. love the color !!!
Really love this series, found you guys the other day. Now going through all your vids. Cheers from N.C.
Thanks so much for your kind words! That's exactly why we do these videos! They've been really helpful for our customers and music friends. :)

Im new to your channel and love your High Gain Vids.... Thanks a lot & gr8 playing BTW.... Peace
Thanks so much for taking the time to check out our channel and become part of the High Gain family! :)
Top review just got this guitar for my son secondly I’d love the tab for the riffs you play in this and tuning
great review the high gain tone was awesome, whats the live sound like?
Live it really shines. Super cool guitar

I'd like to know how does It sounds with Seymour Duncan black winter, hi quality pots (CTS, Dunlop super pot...), and wax coated wiring
Legit! That would likely sound brutal AF
I put 81/85 eng pickups in mine.
How well does this handle heavy-gauge strings?
the standard rg421 is currently $299 ...Thinking this or jackson js32q dka ht which is same price.

@@CreamCityMusic Thanks for response, will keep that in mind.
@@brianobrian9334 You're welcome :)
@@brianobrian9334 what did you end up going with? I’m debating this one and the JS24 right now.

can I change the EMG pickips into this Ibanez ?
Definitely!
can you attach the helix native patch?
Nick has his Helix patches over on his UA-cam channel and website. Check him out! :)
Bro that’s literally the EXACT same guitar I have
What tuning do you use!?
We'll ask our host Nick to respond. :)
Is the string action good out of the box?
I didn’t need a setup when I played it but, I would never pass on a guitar is it needed a setup out of the box. Guitars travel long distances in most cases and various weather conditions.
I got one of theses , but are the pickups upgradable ?
Most definitely, Allan! :)
@@CreamCityMusic Before I go inside the guitar , is there plugs for the pickups or will it require soldering ?
@@allanbuchan6947 Unless you're going EMG, pickups always need soldering
can play in drop G tunning with this guitar?
I wouldn’t. Drop G is baritone territory. With this scale length, you’d lose tension and playability and you’d need super thick strings which typically lack tone. Drop C would be the lowest I would personally go. Cheers
Thank you bro ✌️
Nick Hill FTW!
Dang that's low. It would be difficuld, I wouldn't go lower than A# or A with 0.12 gauge. Maybe it will sound good tho but I wouldn't be that sure
@@NickHillMakesMusic so 25.5 scale 7 string guitars suck ?
is it worth to buy ??
Yes. Absolutely
Does it have a scarf joint?
Great question. We'll ask our Jackson rep!
What is the song?
That's one of Nick's originals! Check out his music online 😎
Man, I don’t know if you already found it but anyway it’s called farrago
Oh shit...I thought I had my color picked out in the black fade...but damn if that dont looks awesome..shit. ...decisions.
First!
Niiiice!
That riffage is tasty 🤤
