Behold! More crappy pics of my new RG5.

[Shredrrr]

I wish the one with those sick figured tops had a reverse headstock or I'd have been several hundred dollars in debt right now

Nice - thought you were getting the blue quilted one?

You are a major rig whore sir

[b3n]

One of the most metal 6s around, no doubt.

 

[7-request]

Hi Chris congrades for a new guitar ... kind of a late message. Is it me or i can't find this sexy beast from the Ibanez Site. By the way how is the guitar? how are the pickups?

That's because it's a Guitar Center exclusive. And probably only availible in the US.

Awesome guitar. The only thing I would change is switch the headstock around so that it is regular and not reversed (I dislike reverse headstocks).

Naren, this guitar was to please us reverse headstockers...the only other IBZ with a reverse is the PGM, you have plenty of options.

Sharp guitar Chris, very metal!

 

[mat091285]

Is there any way to get this model online?

 

[Kagami]

On ebay...there was one which was ridiculously overprised. It's a Guitar Center exclusive and they dont' sell online, I'm sorry.

 

[mat091285]

This is sad new for us oversea's guitarists.

There was a RG565 i think too.

Well, I was specifically referring to guitars available in the US at this moment in time...

Another old relic which is out of production. Ibanez should make more reverse headstock models ...

Agree 100%. They look so badass, it's what sold me on this one.

Being the die hard RG man I am, I just purchased one, and want like 3 more. The reverse head was definately a positive. The only thing I do not like about these is the cheap feeling neck. But I have learned with a little sanding, and tongue oil, they rival my Jems. I have the all white, orange, grey, and black ones too. As far as the reverse model, according to the guys at GC that I have contacted in my work travels, they are able to order these once. So if a person wants one, I wouldnt snooze. RG565? I heard of one once......in a dream....

sick guitar chris! i browsed over this thread cuz i thought you meant RG5 as in some RG570 or something, then you bust this out. reverse ibanez headstocks are my favorite. now if only ibanez would produce a 1527 with a reverse headstock....

 

[of 2 evils]

reverse head stock

soon the whole world will convert...

obsolete, i really really hate 3-a-side headstocks purely because you'll snap one string off inside of a month over a course of 12 months, thats two sets of strings, whether you needed teh change of stringsd or not

reverse ehadstock, wooooooo
