NGD: Ibanez Premium!

[stream-0f-consciousness]

So this is my first actual post on here, I've been a lurker for quite a while but I've never actually posted anything xD

I had been saving up for a Prestige for a few months now but I went to my local music store to grab some picks and spotted this beauty. I tried her out and instantly fell in love with the neck Needless to say i bought her, and the picks were free!

Specs:
Model: RG870QMZ
Body material: Basswood with Quilted Maple top and binding
Bridge: Edge Zero II with ZPS3Fe
Hardware color: Cosmo Black
Neck type: Wizard Premium
Neck material: 5-Piece Maple/Walnut
Fingerboard: Bound Rosewood
Inlays: Offset Pearl Dots
Pickups are stock as of now, might swap them out later

And now, pics of course! Sorry about the crappy iPhone pics, it's the only "camera" i have haha

I usually am an ibanez hater,but gotta say the finish on this one is incredible man

Thanks! It was that quilted maple top that caught my eye in the store

That looks super nice! I'm not a huge Ibby fan, although I have nothing against them. The premiums do seem like really really solid guitars though!

Congrats.

wow that's a great looking top the grey really brings out the quilt grats dude

 

[AgileKev]

I' thinking about getting one of these. What should I expect? Happy NGD!

Looks bluish. Nice deep quilt on that. congrats

That's all I got, Congratulations!

Love that top wish it was offered for the 7 model though....but Happy NGD!

God, I wish this finish was available for the fixed bridge 7's! I mostly bought mine to increase the likelihood of different colors later this year. HNGD! These are great guitars.

Nice avatar..

HNGD though. I might cave in and eventually get a Premium.

Love the top on that one. If I were still buying RG's, I would probably have a 927MQF premium.

 

[Dawn of the Shred]

Congrats looks good man

 

[JoeChugs]

I just got the fixed once in blue, the neck is fantastic. HNGD.

I am actually borrowing a buddies discontinued 870z, and I am blown away by these guitars. Even the stock pickups this one has are awesome. Rounded fret edges. Like I cannot stand 25.5 scale but this one just fits nicely and resonates so well.

I want one as my standard tuned guitar, much better than my 350dx haha.

Once again, congrats man

 

[ghostred7]

Nice!! HNGD!

 

[Eclipse]

I don't normally like anything that isn't Ibanez Prestige but that premium is very nice. HNGD bro!

 

[Gram negative]

Dammit...if only they made these in 7 strings. I love my plain black premium!

Thats a sexy guitar, love the quilt. HNGD! Play the hell out of it!

 

[Blasphemer]

Dat quilt!

Thanks everyone! Really is a great guitar. Looks killer and the neck is fantastic, plays like a dream. It was set up well when I got it too, I barely had to make any adjustments! I was a little iffy on the Premium Series at first but after playing and owning one, I'd definitely recommend one to anyone
