    Trouble deciding between Ibanez 7 Prestige vs Premium :(

    Thanks everyone for your opinions! In the end, I didn’t want to get a “bad” Premium, so I ended up getting an RG752 from Rich Harris at Ibanez Rules. He worked on the fret edges for me, and I ended up getting an awesome guitar! :)

    NGD: RG752AHM!!

    I was surprised to learn that most if not all Prestige guitars with maple fretboards do NOT get the Prestige fret end treatment. I saw pics of the guitar that I bought from Rich BEFORE he worked on the frets, and they were pretty jagged. But he fixed them up and now they feel great!

    NGD: RG752AHM!!

    Finally! My first Prestige, and it’s a 7 string! :banana: I can only play it unplugged til I get my Line6 Helix Floor tomorrow. However, right off the bat I love it! The neck feels perfect; not too fat, not too thin. The playability is excellent. I bought it from Rich an IbanezRules...

    Fret ends on new Prestige guitars?

    So I opted to order the RG752AHM from Rich, and he fixed the fret ends for me. I should receive it March 6th. :) In regard to fret ends: Yes, it is puzzling to me how some guitars with a high price tag can come with such crappy fretwork. Just yesterday, I took my 13 year old daughter to buy...

    My Kiesel Guitar Experience/Belated NGD

    I ordered 3 guitars from them. 2 were Carvins, 1 a Kiesel brand. 1st order: DC127. Sent in a photo showing the exact quilted maple pattern I wanted. Paid extra for it. The guitar came with almost NO quilted maple pattern. Played like a dream, but the tone was “meh”. I sold it. 2nd order...

    I did it... ordered a new Prestige!

    Lol, I’ve been following a Evertune since they came out like 8 or 9 years ago? The trem version has been “coming soon” for at least 5 years, so it’s highly unlikely to be coming out in the near future. :)

    I did it... ordered a new Prestige!

    After much thought, I wasn’t ready to fully commit to the Evertune. I DO rely on very nuanced vibrato, and my previous experience with the Evertune is that there IS a slight lag and difference in feel when doing bends with it. I also want an instrument that offers me the MOST expressiveness...

    I did it... ordered a new Prestige!

    Well, all I know is that the Evertune creator said it SHOULD be able to work with 008 gauge strings (this was 2 years ago). After my tech installed it, the B string (and G string sometimes,) would not stay in tune. I specifically ordered low tension modules, but nothing helped. The tech and I...

    Fret ends on new Prestige guitars?

    So I ended up ordering an RG762AHM after all; Rich said he could get it done in about a week for me! I opted NOT to do his higher level of work (Platinum, gold, or silver) and went with the Bronze level. Because really, all I wanted done was to make sure the fret end were filed down just a tiny...

    I did it... ordered a new Prestige!

    After an enormous amount of thoughtful consideration, I have decided upon my first Ibanez Prestige: The Ibanez RGR752AHBF Prestige 7 String! I'm going to have Evertune install a custom bridge in it, so it can be my perfect recording/live playing guitar. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't...

    Fret ends on new Prestige guitars?

    I considered buying from Rich, but he said he is way behind, and I’d be waiting maybe 2-3 months. :/

    Were those Prestige fret ends? YIKES! Is that the same guitar in the next pic with the frets fixed, or a different guitar?

    Any recommendation for an exact brand/type of fret file? Not being sarcastic. :)

    Fret ends on new Prestige guitars?

    Yes, filing fret ends is a handy skill to know. I wouldn’t mind learning it.
