I didnt like the pickups so I changed them for a set of high output Kent Armstrongs and it totally transformed the sound of it, the prestige neck is absolutly lovely, very thin, pretty flat as well compared to some guitars and I`m able to get a very low action. The edge pro trem is great, I especially like not having to cut off the ball ends when re stringing. so apart from the pickups I`ve never regretted buying this without trying it first, I`d buy another one without hesitation (if one came up cheap again ofc ) You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

I think so, I`d pretty much made my mind up I was going to buy one "new" when I spotted mine half price, but yea, you`ll possibly not be that lucky if you need a lefty You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Some left-handed players use right-handed guitars. Jimi Hendrix & Kurt Cobain did that. Construction wise, it should be Ok to do this on electric guitars, I think things are bit different on acoustic guitars, as they need extra bracing for bass strings. You should be Ok to play on right-handed electric guitar, unless you need whammy bars. You can save some pretty pennies. Look at Jimi & Kurt playing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5hSW67ySCio https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n2XmitTrZSc You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Feb 13 2009, 05:49 PM	GMC:er Posts: 197 Joined: 2-January 08 From: Antwerpen, Belgium	I tested one this friday at guitarclass as one of the other guys just bought one but i would say like everyone else throw out those stock pickups because they are thesame like those in a normal RG320 and that guitar deserves better quality pickups then crappy old ibanez pickups. Oh yeah in black it looks sweet and it plays great when set up properly. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!
