Hi GMC
I have seen a Ibanez RG 3120 TW Prestige: 
Ibanez_RG_3120_TW_Prestige.bmp ( 559.45K )
Number of downloads: 827How would you rate this guitar? the spec are: price € 995 - Build: 2003 - Edge Pro tremolo - Mahonie body - 3-part maple neck - Rosewood fretboard - Dimarzio Paf-pro (neck) - Dimarzio Tone Zone change by Evolution (bridge) Does anyone know what the Evolution pickup is and how good it is? What would be a fair price? Cheers Robert -------------------- Gear:

QUOTE (Sensible Jones @ Oct 3 2009, 12:33 PM)  They are the ones designed with Steve Vai and that are fitted to JEM's! If it's good enough for Steve.........   Having said that, it lists it as a Tone Zone which is a different Pickup from the Evolution! I'd guess that it's a Tone Zone as this is the Dimarzio recommended partner for the PAF-Pro in the neck! Either way, still a great set of Pickups! Personally I think the price is about right! Hi man thanks for the comment. I didn't know the evolution where for the Steve his Jem's . Good info

That thing is a shred weapon!
Mahagony RGs are hard to find, they play and sound awesome! Looks like it has a maple top... The craftsmanship on this guitar is top notch, the Edge Pro is a great trem that can hold the tuning very well and you get two high class Dimarzi pickups in it!! The Evolution is Stevie Vai's signature pickup; it's great for shredding, rock and metal, a very versatile pickup! Is it a Tonezone in the neck or were both tonezones replaced for Evolution pickups? A prestige in this quality level costs arround 2000 € new, so if it's in good condition you are making a really good deal! I will buy it if you don't want it!!!
