I've been playing for almost 20 years. Have owned a few Ibanez, a bunch of Strats and Teles, Boutique Amps and all the rest. I got this a couple of months ago and I love it. I did have trouble keeping it in tune at 1st, BUT...once I learned the proper angle to keep the trem I HAVEN'T HAD A PROBLEM SINCE! The sounds are great. Very round sounding in the neck and thick at the bridge (perfect for high gain without getting muddy). Very fast neck. I admit it took me a couple weeks to dial it in when I changed my strings to 10s and tuned to drop D, but I had the trem set too far back. Angle it forward and it works flawlessly. Perfect intonation and I can Divebomb all night with very little adjustments. Very good guitar.

I've had the Ibanez RG420EG about a month now & really love it! The Wizard neck is sleek and fast. I've also taken to the unique "rock-like" finish. No more constant polishing. I have'nt experienced any trouble with the Edge III as others have reported ... hmm?. V7 & V8 pickups get the job done and are warm and responsive with an incredible variety of clean-tones and just enough sizzle with distortion(though not as bright as the RG350MYE Inf's). All n' all, a great guitar that'll turn heads and ears!

A student of mine bought this guitar and brought it into the shop for a string change just this week. I have to admit, for the money this guitar has great sound, unique looks, and a neck which drives like a Cadillac. However, it will NOT stay in tune if you use the whammy bar. I don't care how much time you spend prestretching the strings, fine tuning, etc.;Dive bomb it one time and it's out of tune. My advice: save your money and purchase a higher end Ibanez, preferably one with either an Edge Pro or ZR tremolo. The Edge III is a piece of crap.

I just bought the spider web version. I have to say it's been one of my better buys! I love the neck and the playability of it...very fast and I can get the action low like I like it. The tremolo took a few days to get adjusted but I got it and now it stays in tune. It looks cool but the only thing I'm not sold on is the body texture...it's like a slab of 60 grit sand paper. All in all I love it!

When I ordered this guitar, I have to admit, I thought it was gonna be cool but not last long at all. When it came tho, let me tell you, I was shocked hardore! The lines on it are carved out! It has a awesome tremolo system on it. IT sounds ou of this world! It totally tops any Strat. Its better SOUNDING than a strat. I think it should be worth more! Its so awesome! I absolutly love this Axe! ~ ROCK ON!
