2017 is the year for Ibanez. They have got it together 🎸🎸🎸
Mark Roddy those where the 80/90 honestly
For your dollar (Euro, Deutsche Mark, Lira, Piastre, Dinar, Peso, Escudo, etc), Ibanez has represented one of the best values up and down their product line for a very long time.
The only electric guitar thats even remotely intrigued me in a looooooong time. It is utterly gorgeous.
Vai's "Woody" is awesome to
ooooooer missus!
kingDeCosta123 the Ibanez Premium range seems to have gone all recently.
kingDeCosta123 I love me that diseased tree finish.
Lee's reactions whenever Rob plays gets me every time
I've played this guitar today and ...I fall in love
I have the RG721RW (same with rosewood veneer and fret board) and I love it.
same :)
This guitar is gorgeous. Wow!
The Ibanez RG721456MSGSCHSHR. Great names, Ibanez!!
I was waiting for this! been sick at home for the last few days really bored :P
Nice sounding Ibanez. Never gotten to play anything outside of their lower end series. Thanks for demoing. Love your videos and you guys.
Birdseye reference hahaha! Sounds so good. Love ibanez
I really like the Ibanez 5 way switched HH setup, no middle pickup to get in the way, but positions 2 and 4 do reasonable imitations of those positions on a strat, but unlike some HSH guitars there's not a big difference in coil performance so the result is often better.
Very cool guitar nice clean sound and more gain for solo love it !!!
first ibanez guitar, to interest me in quite a while. love their basses tho
The Smashey and Nicey of axe videos!
I have the Ibanez RG721RW. My favorite guitar ever, and i've got 5 guitars.
You won't be disappointed if you buy this. Could maybe use some other pickups
The Captain Ibanez stock pickups are usually pretty poor. Changing the pickups in my RG was night and day difference
What did you put in them if I might ask?
I don't think they're actually bad, but they sure are the weak link of the guitar.
The Captain i disagree. In terms of quality and looks it is great. But it is not comfortable to play at all. And im comparing it to other ibanezes i have and not strats which are the most comfy in my opinion. And it has mediocre pickups. No soul in the tone at all.
Interesting Things oh, that's almost weird to hear :p but I guess everyone has other taste and hands etc.
my particular guitar can really scream but also sing. I can really feel the vibrations in my body even, the sustain is excellent.
I played a les Paul model for very long, I would describe the neck of the ibanez as very fast and easy to play.
you sometimes hear that every guitar is different. maybe that's it, I don't know.
The Captain i agree, my problem is i have long fingers and i hate thin ibanez necks, i simply love thick necks that i can sqeeze and huge frets, i also scalloped some of my guitars slightly to make the frets give me the feeling that they are bigger; i agree the sustain is tremendous; maybe ill try to increase the action, not sure if thats the word
chappers nailing the coffee = hilarious quips and great playing
We in Australia get it straight from the Captains tables, as well!
love the vids fellas............keep em coming
love yr videos guys :) and rob plays so nice makes every guitar sing along :D
absolutely loved this in charcoal walnut brown but they stopped making it
i have the same guitar and it's amazing, wow!
Will be seriously considering flogging the lesser loved guitars in the collection to fund this. Ibanez, no floyd, RG.. Winner.
When I look at the mass of that bridge, I'm reminded of a Kahler flat mount and how much I always preferred that over a Floyd. It would be nice if Kahler could find a way to make their bridges with a smaller footprint and yet still retain that smoothness they are noted for. I'd love this guitar with a bridge like that. On another note, if buying from a site where you can't actually see the exact guitar you're buying, spalted maple tops are a hit or miss. Some can be spectacularly figured and others, almost plain with just a hint of disease showing.
With the name of the guitar being RG721 I expected it to be a SEVEN string 😂 I call false advertisement
That would be the 7721 mate lol
Awesome shirt Chappers!!! I kind of expected a link in the description..
damn he played a part of their song, called catalyst! i love this song! keep on
Similar to the Ibanez Premium domestic model released in Japan RG721MFMA-NTF. But I gotta say that grain on the wood looks great on this premium model.
Oh, you should see the RG Premium RG1070PBZ CBK. This spalt is very pretty but the Charcoal Black is down right sexy. Plus, mine arrives in 24 hours! Yeah.
Here's a question for people who know about guitar-wiring; I like the simple setup of two humbuckers, three-way-switch, and the middle position is... well "the middle" or in-between. - The thing is, I never knew whether it would just mix the two full pickups or if it would take two halves and basically make it one. - Is it always one or the other way, or does it vary?
For example, the fact that Lee points out how it's wired on this one, being half and half when it's in the middle-position, makes me think that it's unusual and normally not done this way.
Here's my actual question; How can I see how it's wired? As in, what connections decide whether it's using half a pickup or the entire pickup? - I suppose you could HEAR it, but it's difficult to figure out between different guitars with different pickups. I can never tell what makes it sound the way it sounds, cause it might just be the character of the pickups, regardless of how they're wired. - I mean, I can pick out obvious humbucker and single-coil type sounds, but all the in-between variations... it's a lot more vague.
I have an RGA72TQM and it is a really nice guitar for the $$$.
I would really like some close-up and more info on the bridges/trems for ibanez. I know they have a lot of unique features which make a significant contributuion to the playibility & maintenance of the guitar.
usually not a fan of Ibanez but that sounded great
I love how Chappers always tests with Dorje
I learnt the hard way ordering a PRS Spalted Maple 7 String online. I got a real shitty pattern, with big blobs that looks horrible. I had it delivered internationally and just wasn't worth a return. ALWAYS CHECK THE PATTERN FIRST!
more ibanez reviews. Lovely :)
Just a small correction, guys. In switch position 4 on two humbucker Ibanez guitars, it's actually the neck pickup wired in parallel, not the bridge and neck split. Position 5 is series, 4 is parallel. Cheers!
That was actually a really good french "robert".
Spalted is more of a fancy sales term. What it means in the lumber grading NHLA rule book is incipient decay , this is a stage of rot which is graded against. In other words this might make pallet lumber or go to the chipper. It is not a diseased tree like meat knuckle stated.
Wow Nice sound ;)
i hope, one day, i will be worthy of such instrument
Lexan practice nigga
Bought an Ibanez Rgif8 through Andertons. I'm very much having a ton of fun with it but called about the guitar and if I could choose which one I could have from their stock. They said it just wasn't possible..... Sadly whilst it sounds and plays great the body is a three piece swamp ash construction and the bottom third does a horrible job of lining up with the others grain/pattern wise. To boot I think I'm extra unlucky as the figuring of the wood is much better on the back than the front AND no matter how hard I look online all the guitars of the same model are one or two piece construction all looking nicer than mine..... Mental.
pepsiguzzler86 I have an Ibanez RG421 MOL and the figuring is also better on the back than on the front. Still a lovely guitar though
When the Ibanez JS with the sustainiac comes out you should review it.
Hey Rob, you totally changed your guitar tone don't you?
Few years ago, you used to like a very bright cutting through sound. But in this video, your sound is very smooth midrangy.
Why are people obsessed with being the first to comment?
Cause most of 'em are stupid, it's about time you realized that.
dmansable it is good to be the first
Trying to get attention their parents couldn't afford to give them when they were younger.
Yea I know right it is not an achievement nor something to be proud of
Because of attention, :)
Hit like if you are a CHAPFAN!
i much prefer these more unusual looking ones. they all have their own personality unlike same ole flame tops etc
she's a pretty one!
One day you'll get that cam with your pick Rob :D
Andertons should make a shirt with lee and rob with thumbs up and smiling with writing on shirt saying "chappers and captain approved" id buy the shit out of that
Could you please do an Ibanez RG421M WK review? Love your stuff. Keep up the good work!
I fucking love spalted woods. The best one i saw was on a £3500 Patrick Eggle guitar at a tradeshow in yorkshire.
If i had the cash then omfg..
I mean this as no disrespect what so ever to rob but i think somehow this guitar sounds better with lee's playing as his attack and picking style compliment the sound of the pickups in this guitar, thats just my opinion and i think robs still an amazing player
LOL! Starts off in tune for once. Rob realizes somethings off and adjusts. Noooow it's a true Chappers Captain review.
Just bought it today
Hey Chapers,
Greetings from Hungary! I think you should check out the Little 250 M from DV Mark.
If you're hungry eat some fish and chips or a cheeseburger.
An RG7xxxxx guitar that *isn't* a 7-string? Now I've seen everything. :O
I thought CAP pick up stands for Curved Arch Pick up in another words the top of the pick up is curved to match the radius of the neck...
So no CITES restriction on this one? Now it needs to be left handed! =O
It's not the first 721 with Maple neck. RG 721 MFMA is the first one but it was a spot run model for Japan so you guys might not knew. Just information no offence.

God that is a beautiful guitar. Back before I knew anything about guitars, I would go on all the major manufacturer websites and decide which one I would buy just by looking at the pictures, and that would be on top of my list.
I know here in the states sweetwater.com will post pic's of all stock if the instrument has variation and if more then 1 in stock it will show you 1 out of however many and all sides very handy.
chappers and the captain awards !!
Aww I got so excited until I realised this wasn't a review of the Marco Sfogli Model :(
Shredder bro
3:23 'cause every girl's crazy 'bout a Chap Dressed Man !
you know it's a magical day when you're the 666 viewer
Hey Rob I think spalted maple looks great on this guitar. Just wondering what you think of Big Wreck's new album Grace Street? I think it may be a landmark in Canadian rock history. I just saw them live this week in London Ontario Canada and they blew the roof off the place. Ian Thornley has taken his guitar playing to new heights. Oh and can you influence Rabea and Matt to please do a sound like Big Wreck on Andertons tv I have been requesting it forever now, I just want some more Canadian bands/artists to be represented. Thanks Rob love the channel. Cheers from Canada
How cool does that look, though I'd love a Tele in burr walnut.....
Loving the vids as always! Best 5 watt valve amp for blues? torn between a few...
Chappers should review the Boss GT 1
DO SOME JACKSONS DAMNIT YOU GUYS NEVER DEMO THOSE!!!!!!!
I luv that wood grain but I'm not feeling the dots on the fretboard. I'de really like to get my hands on one of those bodies and start a build from scratch..
9:50 'steel frets and titanium truss rod' - All Ibanez's site says is that they are jumbo frets (same blurb at Andertons and elsewhere). Are you certain those are steel frets, Rob? The Cap'n didn't contradict you there so I'm a bit confused.
Btw, first comment on UA-cam - ever! Yay!
Jumbo is just the size, steel is the material.
Thanks. Yep, I understand that. However, based on my limited experience, stainless steel frets are something manufacturers love to boast about (and rightly so) - take the RG1070PBZ for example. My doubt hence arises because of lack of such explicit mention. Rob, Cap'n or anyone - please correct me if I'm wrong.
I'd like to see a prestige version
Is there a 7 String Model with that finish? Love the looks of this guitar!
Hey rob Can. You do a lesson with catalyst........... Please
Let's hear some tones... and then Chappers plays something so quiet you can't hear it, lol, and it's a pattern at this point. On another note I've been surprised at how dark sounding the red dwarf comes across. It always seemed like Chappers liked brighter sounding amps.
We have Birdseye fish and stuff in Australia 😂
God, it's gorgeous. Are you guys getting the Ashula 7 string in?
That's a veneer on it? Looks more like a proper top, albeit on the thinner side.
*Looks at video title* Oh, must be a 7 string. *Watches video* OF course not. Thanks Ibanez
Not a great fan of ibanez but put Rabea and Rick Graham in a room to jam for hours I'd listen to that...
this seems like a step down from the other premium they reviewed?no exotic neck wood,veneer instead of full cap, no trem? i hope this is cheaper than the others.
Why would u make a video now with just one in stock :/
Idk man, I love watching you guys, but there is so much to improve, and it's stuff you can actually do. Every time you play clean sounds, its super smooth and low volume and slow, and it's either that or a super boring djent riff. Show us what the guitar can do, and play it like you mean it. Every guitar sounds "meh, whatever". And you guys actually make every feature seem like gimmicks. You have all the structure in the world you need, when you wake in the morning to make these videos, try to be excited about making a proper job. I say that in the most respectful way possible. But again, it's your channel, no one asked for me to be here, If I don't like it I can just leave, before anyone says something like that.
That is one sexy guitar
Guys !! Please Please Please - could you please check what is going on with new Ibanez prototype. It's has been showed on Martin Miller's FCB and also Polyphia's. You guys have great contact with Ibanez so please make it happen !
No pick crash sound fx in the end?!
when are you lovely lads going to review an Ibanez artcore? like the am73 or as93
where are the 2017 teles?! good lord!
No new andertons intro this year as well as no xmas special?????
Hey Rob,,
why chapman guitars are not shipped in india?
Only judgment here.. and it's not a big deal honestly but that does not look like birds eye maple.
So, Rob and Cap, if you ever have one of those Ibanez's or simlar one of any major quality brand to give away, remember it was I who asked first.
Currently and probably in the future, I am entirely unable to buy anything I want.
I prefer the Steve Vai Woody, though. Just saying. Not implying anything.
Well, I am, actually.
But hit me up if you need to be generous with a guitar like this one.
I've got a really nice MIJ RG570 that I got in the 90s. How much do you reckon one of them is worth now?
UA-cam unsubscribed me from this channel, but I'm back.
even though I watch all of your videos
the back is the hottest thing about it :o
and how is lil sir theo riff chapman?
Does Lee even own a boat?
This kind of "shred machine" guitars all sound good and all sound about the same... I've heard some with tone character, but they are very, VERY, rare...
I'm really interested in buying a Chapman guitar but I want to play them before I purchase one. Last time I went to Andertons there were only around 3-4 on the shop floor and was wondering if things have changed since then? If not, is there any shop that has a good selection of them for me to try playing? Thanks!
the new models were coming out so prob they'll restock with the latest models
