Weapon: Electric Guitar Make: Ibanez Model: RG350DX / RG350MDX Playing Style: Metal, Blues, Rock N' Roll, Classical Price: $399-$499 (varies on where you buy it) Sound: Well lets just say this guitar is a VERY versatile piece of machinery, With the standard Infinity S3 and S4's in it, i can get a very Bluesy sound, a great Metal sound for sick ass riffage, an EXCELLENT clean tone, and anything else you can think of this guitar can do it. It works well with any amps, ive used it on Marshall's, Hartke's, Crate's, Fender's, and Line 6 Amps and it sounds great on all of them, it even works well with low tunings, the lowest ive gone one it is B Standard, and it still sounds Godly. If you like a guitar that can give you a wide variety of tones, and do an excellent job on all of them, here it is baby Feel: Great Great Great!!! i love the way this feels, it has a very fast neck and superb fret access, when i bought this guitar i was actually looking for the JEM 7VH, But since my local music store hasnt had one in 2 years, i picked this baby up, and WOW, i was like "man this is $1000 less and it feels just as great!!" , to me it feels and plays like the "Affordable JEM". I also love this guitar so much because it doesnt require those abstract alien like movements ive had to make to sweep on some other guitars, its very comfortable for all techniques, legato, tapping, sweeping, and 8 Finger Tapping as well. Overall Impression: A Superb and affordable weapon that will give you what you need and never fail, from Metal Riffage to a down to earth clean and bluesy tone, this baby will give it to you, plus it looks beautiful. Alternative Weapon: Actually i have yet to find a guitar in this price range that is even close to this, this guitar for me was an alternative to the JEM, And although ive probably only had about 5 hours behind a JEM, I find this guitar to suit me just as well, but if you can afford the JEM , Get it! Hopefully this gives you a bit more insight into the RG Series! Thats the exact guitar im looking at getting! Great in-depth review. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Well I loved both but I have to go for the twangs of the fenders. I might get this one as a next weapon. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

The only difference is the paintjob, they should play EXACTLY the same. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

Other than that, it works and performs great, almost no pressure is needed to Dive or do any other tricks with it, and it keeps your strings in tune for along time. Sure, its not as good as the EDGE Pro, the only difference bewteen those two is string changing (Having to cut the ball end off...) I rate the bridge a 99.9%, the other 0.01% is that one time when the string slid out, all i had to was put it back in, tighten it a bit more than the last, and WA-LAH!! Hasnt done it since then, one year ago. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

A complete restring and retuning takes me about 15 minutes, although my uncle can do his in like 5 minutes. If only one string breaks, it takes about 1 minute to change it, assuming you have spares on hand, since the strings are held in tune by a balance between bridge and string tension, when one breaks it will cause the rest of the strings to be raised in pitch, and its only noticaebale if the Low E Breaks really, sa when you replace the string, you might have to lower the pitch with the fine tuners on the bridge, takes about 20 seconds to do.

It plays as good as any prestige ive played, at half the price. the RG350 could be sold for $1500 and i would still buy it. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.
