I'll never buy a low end Ibanez again. I have a model called RG320 and I guess it's similar to yours.
The tremolo rests on knife edges on metal stands. On one side the knife edge has worn down like a low end plier would after cutting steel wire. Worst crap ever, and this after almost not even using the trem in the first place. I intended to use it but it went out of tune so quick I just had to let it be. And then still it wore down. I had to stick wooden pieces in to lock up the trem completely, now it stays in tune fine. It feels good to play though, I like it that way. And if there's a model without this cheap floating tremolo I'd go for that if I were you. go for a model with the Infinity pickups at that price range The INF3 and INF4 that came on my RG320 were really bad. Don't know why i even got that guitar with those pickups, probably the cheap price of the guitar. It's like listening to an angry swarm of bees.

It is a decent guitar for heavy metal, suitable for gigging, but not for studio recording. Good choice as a backup, or as an axe of choice of intermediate hobyst guitar player.

The guitar is probably good for it's pricetag. But i have my doubts about those pickups. If you want a good EMG tone, then go for one with a 81/85 set or just change them out after you get the guitar.
