Although it's hard to even call it used, the previous owner must have barely touched the thing. It showed up to my door in like new condition. Not a mark on it, apart from a little tarnish on the bridge. After a setup it plays like a beast. Guitars like this make me wonder why I ever spend money on the high end stuff.

Apparently this model was only made for one year (2020) and for the Chinese market only. Previous owner imported it. I had been looking for one of these and remembered that I had almost bought one off reverb a couple years back. I reached out to the guy in the off chance he had not actually sold it, and lo and behold, he still had it!!! I jumped on it and could not be happier that i did.

That thing is gnarly, congrats! Is it a 1570 or something else?

Yep, RG2720S. Pickups are the dimarzio fusion edges. Theyre actually not bad in this guitar, but ill likely be replacing them sometime soon.

I don’t see how you top that with any kind of solid-color RG.

How the fuck did I never see this?! This is basically my kryponite in guitar form. :yum:

That looks amazing!

This is what frustrates me about Ibanez. Instead of having those burled/weird burst colors, just offer us more of these regular colors or sparkle colors to replace those burls.

And that fretboard - looks great!
This 1000%. Bring back the 90's/00's colors or other solid and metal flake colors! And paint the backs too!

That is insane. Never thought a Pink Sparkle/Gold Hardware/White Pups combo would work but it does...and then some. Hands down one of the coolest Prestige models I have seen.
