With this model released, Ibanez wanted to compete in some Caparison models.. With the new AZ (24 frets) Ibanez wamted to compete in specific model taken from Suhr guitar.. but in the end they fixed and improved the AZ's 24 frets and made them more pretty and less complicated. One of the most beautiful guitar out there.
I like the idea that we're seeing some extended fretboards again.... Ibanez had the 30fret RG550XH for a (very) short time - couldn't get one at the time. I do have an old Hamer Californian, also 27 frets, and those few extra frets really give some additional room to go bonkers 🤘😜🤘 The best thing: You don't need the (overly artificial) sounding Digitech pedals to play higher notes - just use the guitar itself.
I'm sold great demo and amazing playing thanks so much. I have found my new guitar. I'll have to get two. The white qnd black look great gota have em both. Cheers 🍻
Hi There! I’m So happy I made this video then! Let me know how it turns out! If you have any questions about set up etc , ( if you are not used to setting it up that is) please feel free to reach out to me ! All the best, Remy
Kind of cool, would have been really neat to get an RGA8420 with offset dots/neck binding and vintage violin color, but meh, it's something instead of nothing, as for a while there it didn't look like the RGA was even going to survive, they only had budget models for the last few years, despite it being the nicest body style they make. Also, nitpicky, but that fretboard looks un-bound to me :)
I saw your comment a few days ago but couldn’t respond yet because it wasn’t supposed to be found yet…🤦🏼♂️ anyways thanks for watching! And the bound ebony fretboard were both in the specs I had that day and on the website today. Thanks for watching
Thank you' for the nice video' Wonder when the normal 'affordable' $1k or Less' $699$. version is made?!' So Love this guitar! Cept' Im not rich! 'Yet' anyway'✌️🎸🎼
It blows my mind that both Jackson and Ibanez don't include as standard on their +£1000 guitars. If you're gonna pay nearly 2k for a guitar you'll pay a bit extra for Stainless Steel and great hardware. What are they thinking!?! Either have budget range or Elite range ffs
Agreed, I was ready to order the white one that was in stock off L&M until I saw it didn't have these and locking tuners at this price... Like, even Sterling by MM and Ibanez Premium guitars have SS frets on them, what gives?
