Here's a mini review. Yesterday I tested an RG3250MZ and an RG2570MZ (Prestiges) against 2 RG870QMZ (Premiums) at 2 different stores and went wtf. The Premiums played better in my hands, the Prestiges made my hand cramp up. The frets on the Prestiges were poking out a bit from the fretboard, and the setup was awful on both Prestige guitars. The necks on the Premiums resonate better when I strummed a chord.
The Premiums felt better and played like butter. The only thing the Prestiges had against the Premiums were better sounds due to better pickups.
The bodies of both Prestiges and the Premiums were of equal build quality IMO. I own an Japanese S Prestige and can't help feeling that the Premiums plays better than the S Prestige...
I guess country of manufacture doesn't matter anymore nowadays. After yesterday's experience I begin to wonder if the Prestiges are really above the Premiums in terms of rank.
