    The original RG's offered double-locking devastation only. But many metal adherents demanded the simplicity of a fixed bridge. Which Ibanez are only too happy to oblige.
    Review :Overall:
    I bought it a while ago and it sounds great to me, but beware: this is most likely of the "starved plate" category of tube drivers, running at a low voltage. Google that if you don't know what I mean. Other tube drivers like the Seymour Duncan have circuits that really utilize the tubes, but those were too expensive for me. I went ahead and bought an Electro Harmonix 12AX7 tube after hearing that the behringer tubes are unreliable and sound bad, but personally I liked the stock behringer tube better than the Sovtek (behringer was softer sounding with less high gain) I could definately hear a difference, which means the tube can't be completely for show. Overall, to my relatively untrained ear this pedal sounds great and gives me what I think is a nice tubey sound, and I'm glad I bought it since my solid state amp's OD can't compare.

Feature:
The five position switch splits the neck pickup into two single coils which I found to be the most useful for rhythms (position two).

Quality:
I like the quality. No problems.

Value:
High value and a great price.

Desirability:
Black monster...looks like a "biker" axe.

Sound:
Sound--The neck pickup has a PAF sound, very balanced. The bridge pickup has a mid-boost that is good for leads; it can be heard above all other instruments. However, there is a price to be paid for this...it's not that good for rhythms. I changed this pickup with a Dimarzio PAF Pro.

Ease of Use:
This guitar is set-up like a "strat". It looks like a Fender and it has the five position switch except it has humbuckers. The frets are "fat", the body mahogany and it is neck-thru. The off-set neck inlays are a little small and sometimes I get "lost" in the upper frets.

Support:
No problems so far.

Overall:
I own seven guitars from a variety of manufacturers. Just another guitar.

Review :Feature:
Tuners aren't top-end; i replaced mine. They're not bad by any stretch, but I docked it a point.

Desirability:
This is an exceptionally beautiful guitar. The burl is pronounced on back and sides. This is the first guitar my wife ever called "beautiful".

Sound:
Rich, full, expressive classical.

Overall:
This is a life-time purchase for me. I treasure this instrument.
