Ibanez RG3XXV is out

[Kagami]

$699 which isn't too bad I guess.

Ibanez guys: How good is it though?

That's pricey for an Indo Ibanez with real pickups. If you can find one, you can get a real RG565 for that, and it'll probably be a much better guitar.

I have the RG350M w/ the Edge Zero II trem & it's a VERY solid guitar. I'm sure this one would be just as good.

The 350M isn't $700 though.

Touche. $429

It is. The quality on those necks is so hit and miss, it'd be a gamble. That's basically just a blue H-S version of the Guitar Center special guitars, though at least it doesn't have an Edge III.

Damn, I was hoping these would be like $499. Really want one, but not at that price.

The problem with the maple boards in my experience on the non MIJ necks is that they just feel cheap - almost like they're plastic, as opposed to the boards on my 550s, MIA strats, etc. They look great, but there's just something that feels unwoodlike* about them.
