This guy does his job very well. THAT'S what I call a REVIEW. 5 starts
very rare to see such an awesome demo with a highly detailed review! Absolutely amazing!!!
Anything sounds better in Toms hands....he is such an amazing player .... That's the reason he has his own Ibanez Signature AZ TQM model.
now THIS is a complete review......VERY well done.....
Excellent demo and superb playing.
I didn't not expect that jazz tone at all, surprisingly warmy nice jazzy
You might edit your comment.
Seems to me this guitar entices Tom to demo lots of different playing styles. It's all good. Well done sir!
The first riff conjures images of an alpine countryside, clear skies, 7:00 am. spine chilling
Tom Quayle is a magician
I love looking at his finger works
What an amazing review.. Amazing player.. Thanks Tom
I really love Tom's jazzy clean runs
6:40 "Just cause it looks pointy doesn't mean it only does pointy kinda sounds". Hilarious way of putting it but true!
Just purchased one brand new old stock, can't wait! Thanks!
Mr Quayle you are a superb guitar player
Wow that clean tone sold me!
I remember watching this video more than 6 years ago when trying to decide on the RG2550Z and the RG655. I went with this one and I will never sell it.
Both rxcellent guitars you chose well. I likr this 1 better j craft
Wow, playing that kind of stuff with an unforgiving dry sound. Takes balls and skill, this man has both. :)
True!
erpaloinen What, you mean the guitar has bad sound?
Mike, TheAnimated he mean by "dry" is using minimum effects.. kinda stripped down to the basic guitar tone. Usually just clean or gain only. No reverb or compression whatsoever.
Great guitar, absolute amazing player nice vid. Thanks
Great demo.
I hope all the guitar reviewers on UA-cam have a skill like this
Great playing and review
Beautiful guitar to look at, beautiful to listen to
awesome playing man !!
i want this guy as my guitar teacher!!!
:/ yes please
Tom should review all the guitars from all manufacturers. Perfect demo.
+TheGeronimo322 He's pretty good!!
beautiful playing
awesome super Vai intro
What are you using for distortion please??
Your a great guitarist and your review sold me on buying one great job brother.
*you're
@@Chrishagen look out it's the gramer police.WOW
@@MadSonStudios No problem, man! We are here to correct and to serve. Did you get the rg2550? You can get them cheap on reverb right now, was thinking about it.
That floating tremolo is very cool, the part on the back is a genious idea!
Nice Guthrie Govan vibes. Great playing!
Hello great review! I'm thinking in putting some symour duncan pickups on this guitar. I was thinking in some perpetual burn plus something else which I still don't know. Any thoughts or some comments?
I just bought one used. I was thinking the same, but I just realized that someone replaced my bridge pickup with a dimarzio super distortion, which I am actually starting to like. However, what they did that was dumb was replace the middle with a stacked humbucker; it's like a dimarzio version of a hot rail. It totally takes all the versatility out of the guitar and makes the 2 and 4 positions muddy, so I'm looking to find a single coil to put back in it. Any ideas?
Before I came around to the Dimarzio Super D I was thinking about how a seymour duncan alnico 2 would sound in the bridge?
anyone else notice the big ding on the back of the headstock
What gear did you use?
what a guitar player!!
wow ! I like a lot , that guitar! it´s wonderful
that intro was so beautiful it could cure aids
Amazing player
how good / bad is that edge zero bridge?
so is the good sound coming from the Dimazio? because i have a similar guitar with basswood body & maple neck that costs me $150 that sounds like sheat.
Need to up the electronics, wiring and shielding.
Please transcribe the opening 40 second Vai-ish piece! fingers moving to fast to catch it.
I really want this guitar but I want it with a cool purple dank top like in some of the premiums. Does a guitar of such exist, does anyone know? Superficial I know but it is what it is.. :D
Damn I can't find a new one for sale anywhere in the States.
Bro bro I bought this guitar brand spanking new from Japan... it took a few months to get here in Ohio because of stupid covid.. anyways I think I paid like $1700-$1800 for it... the guy had listed as used...lol when it got here we assessed it through and through and we couldn't even find a single pick scape or any such signs of anyone ever playing it. So we thought he bought it and literally opened it and looked at it and literally put safely away until I purchased it. The strings were factory set and more signs of no one ever even playing it... I love it
This axe is 100 percent made/built to shred. It sounds amazing when using it to record with. It you like shred on the guitar, promise you... you will be more than satisfied and some. I've been playing for 25 yrs I'vealways owned and played on Ibanez and Jackson... literally the top two guitar companies in music/ definitely metal... I also use a Jackson soloist string through body 6 string neck-thru ebony fretboard emgs 24 fretboard with the expensive finish of erie-dessi which looks all purple at time and black and greenish blue and black idfk lol can't go wrong with any high end guitars from Jackson and certainly Ibanez... a metal heads go to guitars
Fucking awesome playing skill, fucking awesome guitar.
Clean tone is great
Great guitar!! Good on Ibanez ! And on u guys to review and show that Ibanez does not only do "pointy" tones hahahah
Where can I get an Ibanez with that floral shirt pattern???/
Tyler Lavoie Just get the one with vai curtin patten close enough lol
was the pickups changed ??
I have the same guitar in a different colour and it had Ibanez / dimarzio brand pickups in it which isn't like in the video
+And1slash i think this is the new model for 2015. As you can see, there is no neck binding for the guitar in this video. However, I believe your guitar has neck binding.
that explains it
although the tone in mine at stock sounded better than the new version plus mine has the original edge floyd which is the best ibanez made
+And1slash it actually got different puckups. I've been trying to buy this guitar since 2011 and it used to have DiMarzio iBZ back then. Now, it got the ones that the guy described in the video. Anyway, it sounds amazing!
Axl Svensson it's no biggie for me
in mine I've changed the bridge pickup to a older dimarzio evolution which sounds better than new dimarzio pickups
Thanks for the review. I have had 1 for years now and wanted to know the pickup types and I found this.I bought mine around 2014 I think 🤔 so maybe a 50 50 call on whether I have the same as this.
I bought to up the shredding but I am still mastering the shred. I use it the same as my other guitars for good gain and tone and its a great all rounder.Nice to play
Why the downgrade of name TEAM J CRAFT back o headstock and hardshell case?Strange.
So has Ibanez already discontinued this model? I don't see any new ones for sale
its still available man
Yes, but they now have the rg655 with a better bridge and neck. Other than that it's the same guitar.
+Ibanez Guy Sorry, better to me I ment. Seems Ibanez is going back to the 90'a with the edge and 17-19mm neck.
+Ibanez Guy Really? I haven't tried one of the new ones, I was told they were like the old wizards/super wizards.
+Jon Stevens I don't think the 655s have the wheel adjustment for the floating bridge?
Freezing my crying soul...
It's not done anymore from Team J. Craft??
It is Team J. Craft made.
I have Yamaha RG100 japan 1998
shredding with single coils sounds so much nicer to me, like some sorta manky cowboy on speed..
Just because it,s pointy doesnt mean it only does pointy kind of sounds comment wins the internet.....
Are you related to Milky Quayle?
he almosy sounds like steve vai
Haha I like it. "Just cause it *looks* pointy, doesn't mean it only does *pointy* kinda sounds" :)
Holy Moly this guy plays like a virtuoso😳
no like the pickups dimarzio i prefer fender or duncan
im not ibanez guy, but that neck looks like vintage acoustic guitar
This neck is a 5 piece walnut/maple neck HP super wizard prestige neck rosewood fretboard. Feels/plays like a dream, very smooth.
Isn't this guitar from like 2010?
I have a 2008 version. It has different pickups, different finishes, and neck binding.
+JELIFISH19 I have a 2010 in metallic Black finish. My favorite guitar and it seems to me the Ibanez DMZ pickups actually sound better then this Air Norton/Tone zone combo. The older Ibanez DMZ's sound more like Di Marzio Evolutions you find in JEM's these days imo. When I bought it I planned on changing them out for a pair of Bare Knuckles, but they sounded so good I never did that.
Yeah, it has different type of pickups (DiMarzio as well), and neck binding. I've got the 2015 model.
Can you please give me one Ibanez prestige? Please I love it so much but I can’t afford it, I don’t even play prestige even once
I love it plays fanomanl and sounds great... super shredder axe without a doubt
It sounds amazing BUT, there are many other things that effect the tone, the pick, strings, gauge, amp, pedals, cables, mic, DAW etc etc etc. So dont get fool with the tone unless this guy tells us the signal chain from a to z
I own it... your absolutely wrong about this one I promise you bro bro... it's a very high end prestige... I'd say perfect for studio recording your lead tracks...
Ibanez discontinued these models coz the feedback from buyers was that the guitars were actually shite.
dereksmallsuk were they so bad?
What is your source for this? Everyone I know loves them.
No, it it still on their website and still available in the market. I guess you are pertaining to the old finish of the same model, if so and it was.
I don't get it.. isn't this guitar out of production? Why do a review?
I can see why you'd think that, as it's awfully similar to the old 2550z. But this new series is a different white, and a blue rather than black. More importantly, Tone Zone/True Velvet/Air Norton instead of a DiMarzio IBZ set.
It comes stock with dimarzios really bad ass ones I think
MARRY ME!
Who dislikes this?
Someone clicked it by mistake. That is the only feasible explanation!
+Deniz M : When I like something I click dislike, and when I don't like it I click like. What's the difference.. just buttons.
That's No Quale. That's a Lion !
amazing is YOU!...not the ibanez!
I think, when you make review on a guitar, you need to know how to play, to show the sound on guit. But in first seconds all dead and false notes, blood from ears, man
I have the original Edge Pro, much better.
Way too much bass
