Ibanez RG2027XL-DTB Prestige (Gear Feature) 

Thank you so much sir. 🙏🏻🤘🏻

DigimortalFM81 honestly, I didn’t know this was a reissue. Until you confirmed it to me. Lols! Cheers mate!

Thank you Arabela!

The color of macassar ebony varies. Some is highly streaked, Some is more uniform, Some is lighter, some is darker. Some companies dye their ebony boards to appear darker. With the recent rg2027xl's I've seen, it's pretty clear that Ibanez is not currently doing that. They may have done it before, but not now. Same for the Jackson American series. The boards vary in color. No dye.

A baritone is usually a six string guitar, used for downtuning.(Minimum 27" scale length)

Michael Maier it’s Dark Tide Blue. No sparkle.

Thanks bro! The shirt was locally customized by our bassist in Timelight Panorama, Mr. Rodney Vidanes. Sadly, he doesn’t make them anymore. 😥 cheers!

Oh yeah! You’re right. Sorry my bad. 😂 thanks for pointing it out. 🍻

Not that I know of, but I don’t think you have to tune it lower. Actually, I tuned this guitar to BEADGBE.

By default it’s standard tuning with gauge 9’s. I changed this one to gauge 10’s and it’s still in standard tuning. 😊

Ah thanks for the info man this is a very beautiful guitar, i am having a standoff between this one and the schecter c7 apocalypse fr since i really want a sustainiac pickup,

Not sure what you’re talking about. 🤔

@@AlbertMontinola Ah, I have a ton of blue dye coming off whenever I wipe the fretboard. I was wondering if you had the same issue? Thanks for the reply.

@@Hennessy7113 no I don’t. Maybe it’s because of the cloth you’re using?

Yeah. I love this kind of case. It has a more prestigious look to it. And because this has a longer scale than other RG models, that's why it came with this kind of hard case, instead of the regular M20RG type case. :)

@@AlbertMontinola nice, I'm thinking of getting this vs the the new rgd4327

Yee Sen Chai have seen it, it’s the RGDR4327 right? With reverse headstock? Looks amazing! Very fancy looking. But I like the simplicity of the RG2027XL better. But it’s your choice. I’m sure both will be a delight to play with. :)

No it doesn't.

Oh you’re right! Sorry, my mistake. Lol! Yes it’s a basswood body and NOT mahogany. Thanks for pointing this out. Cheers! 🍻

@@AlbertMontinola it's alright! I just got excited as I like mahogany bodies haha! I'm trying to decide between this guitar and an ESP EII TB7 snow white but I'd swap the pickups for Bare knuckle Impulse. It's such a hard decision haha

@@DarthJAYder21 one thing I like about this guitar is the DiMarzio Fusion Edge 7 has a nice tone on the mix for recording. For me, it’s just right. 😊👌🏻

You can tune it to any tuning you like as long as the guitar can handle it. 😊

@@AlbertMontinola sure I was just suprised. The RGD models have a 26.5" scale length and they come in standard A tuning. :-) Any experience on what the guitar feels like in standard tuning? Not sure what tuning you used in the video, but I was wondering if there is too much string tension for lead playing in standard tuning since it has an extended scale length.

@@timeflies98 i believe the RGD’s are factory tuned to D standard. 😊 My guitar is in standard E tuning using gauge 10s. The guitar handles it well. Changed to a heavy tension spring and you’re good to go. In regards to how it feels, for me it feels the same. The long scale didn’t give me a hard time adjusting to the tension. 🤟🏻

@@AlbertMontinola yeah you're right they are tuned to D in case it's a six string. so if it's a seven string the lowest note is an A on an RGD. Anyways I'm pretty suprised you're using 10s for standard tuning on this guitar... :D i was worried about the tension being too strong with 9s in standard tuning on a 27" scale and you're using 10s haha I'm not sure if i should get this guitar but if so i would like to tune it to drop A but without having too much tension on the high strings so i can still play some lead stuff. did you ever play it in drop A?

@@timeflies98 oh yeah you’re right on the drop A. I forgot we’re talking about 7strs. Lols! Sorry about that. 😁 I’ve been using gauge 10s for a long time because i want the strings to sort of fight back when i’m picking cause i’m a heavy picker. And when i got this guitar, i thought that having a long scale will harden the tension on the default gauge 9 strings. It was still too wobbly for me. Down side to changing to 10s is that you loose the smoothness of the tremolo system. Doesn’t flutter smoothly enough like on the 9s. But it still flutters. But I don’t flutter much, so it’s not a big deal for me. Never tried tuning to drop A cause I don’t know any song to play in drop A. Lol! This is a good guitar. You should try one. If you’re only from the Philippines, I’ll let you try my guitar. 😊

Thanks bro. 🙏🏻
