Well I decided its time to feed my G.A.S. a little bit and get myself some new axe. I just got two very interesting offers - both the same price - around 650$ a
Ibanez RG 570 - built in japan somewhere in 1990-2000, from mahogany (new ones are from alder..), natural color with gold hardware (which I love)  and Ibanez RG1570 prestige, w/ EMG 81 in bridge, all matte black (which I hate...)  I would go for prestige automatically, if it wasnt for the color - I already have black guitar and I hate it (I tend to wear black tshirts and my current guitar is inivisible on stage..). Is there such a tremendous difference between the prestige and regular RG?

You could always get the Prestige and then refinish/repaint it!

It comes with Edge pro - at least most reviews of RG 570 tell this...
What kind of money does repainting cost btw? -------------------- my youtube account with riffs and ideas: https://www.youtube.com/user/Phoenygzus

the only way for me to tell you which trem the rg570 is to get serial number....then i can date it for you right way.
i can tell you right now that i would go for the rg570... here is why: the neck is either the wizard 1 or the super wizard neck which is still thinner then the prestige wizard neck. the trem is either a lo pro edge or original edge trem which i like over the edge pro. its an older guitar, so its rare, especial natural. the model number is rg570sol (sol is what they call their natural guitars) i think you would be happier with the 570, ive owned them, they are awesome guitars hope that helps ok i did a little of your homework for you but here: http://www.ibanez.co.jp/anniversary/expans...d=211&now=1 thats you guitar right there, a 1995 rg570MH SOL, looks like it was limited run, comes with the wizard 1, and lo pro edge....basically, id take that over any ibanez any day -------------------- - Marc

The mahogany one is very tempting, you should do more investigating and see what kind of mahogany is that. There is cheap mahogany wood that is not that good, but if it is good wood, it is possible that guitar will have more richer sound. It's really a tough choice.
Judging by the looks alone - RG

Well I plan to change them anyway.
Would EVO2 in bridge and... say tonezone in neck be good choice? I want to have bridge with sensitive volume (crankin' when up, smooth when down..) and neck with nice and fluid sound, for two handed taps and sweep taps etc.. -------------------- my youtube account with riffs and ideas: https://www.youtube.com/user/Phoenygzus
