NGD Prestige rg652FX

I've actually had the guitar for a month but was waiting on the new pickups. For 1k, I think it's easily the best deal for a guitar today. Neck is amazing, obviously. I find it easier to play than even my ESP horizon. The stock pickups were not my favorite at all, but these EMG 57/66 are sick.(be careful if you get this guitar and plan on upgrading to new pickups, the cavity is a weird size and needs a little modification) I'm still trying to get some shit dialed in, but these are a serious contender for the best pups I have played. Much more versatile than normal EMGs, but still have that tight low end. The black chrome covers match the Ibby hardware perfectly. I'm in love.

Very nice! I wish they made more hard tail MIJ Ibanez!

I love it! I'm surprised that the dimarzios are not considered "good" pups though. I love the way those emg's look on it though!

Goddamn! covered pickups really bring the guitar up a notch or two, looks wonderful! HNGD

Thats hot. some great photos you got here. the pickups also look really good being all matchy-matchy like that with the hardware. Happy belated NGD

I don't think the Dimarzios were "bad", just not my thing.

Very nice.....I may have to try a set of those EMG's out as I have used many of their other ones over the years.

I love those pups. They really pop on that guitar. Which finish are those?

These Ibanez Prestige rg652FX's appear to be a fantastic deal for a MIJ guitar.
Looks sick with those EMG's too!

Nice!! Congrats, man!

Love that Galaxy Black finish, its much better than gloss flat black, fingerprints are less noticeable. I just got my RG2620Z over the weekend and it's got the same finish as well. HNGD!

I agree. The Galaxy black is really cool in person, a lot more complex than just a metaflake.

hawt, im gasing pretty hard for one of these.
but my 1451 is pretty much the same thing so it may have to wait
HNGD

From the pics, the Galaxy Black looks like the old Black Pearl

That looks extremely slick looking with those EMGs in there!
