I'm sure most of you may have already seen this but I JUST now came across it :lol:

Ibanez.com | Electric Guitars | RG1451

IBANEZ RG1451 RG1451NC RG1451AG

the Bridge up close

I like how this is and I think I may convert back to a Super strat shape if I can get one of these :lol:

I'm sure it's a nice guitar, but yet another basswood guitar in need of a pickup change doesn't give me stiff nips.

They dont do anything for me either - no maple and poo pickups plus way too $$$$

 

[Soopahmahn]

Looks like $800, which actually isn't horrible. I'd still rather swap out shitty pickups for better pickups than have to convert the guitar from actives.

Not me. Even if you don't like actives, if they're a name brand pickup, they'll go for more used than some no name ibanez pickups.

i wish they'd make more fixed bridge prestiges. the only ones i know of are the rga121, rga321 and that one. :\

 

[Blankplank]

Fixed bridge Prestiges are rare as rocking horse shit. Shame there's not any fixed Prestige 7's. I'd be tempted to grab one of these if funds were permitting.

 

[Nyarlath]

Need MOAR fixed bridge Ibanez Prestige 7s in the American market. Most of them are Japan only; the HRG7 and the 15271 come to mind.

I agree it's more value built into the guitar (and yeah, for $800 that thing should come with DiMarzios or EMGs) but it's just less work for someone with my tastes to convert. Since they ALWAYS use the soapbars. :squint:

I'm really friggin' tired of everything being basswood. I like basswood; I've got two currently. I just would love a Prestige-level RG in ash, mahogany, or alder.

Those pickguards are really ugly.

I kinda wish they'd just stuck a regular hardtail bridge on the these; the Tight End thing seems a bit overkill for a hardtail. Plus "Tight End" sounds a bit...:quagmire:

(Also... interesting colours and decent pickups would be nice:rant

The 29-fret or 30-fret or whatever monstrosity they built is alder! I actually kinda want one :lol:

This. I don't mind basswood, but rosewood + shitty pickups = :noway:

If you spend almost a grand on a guitar, it shouldn't sound like ass until you drop another $200 on it.

Start looking for a 2027! It is worth it. I got mine for $1150, and with the prices of new Prestige 7s now, I thought that was awesome. Plus, mahogany looks so awesome once it is cleared.

I don't really mind having to change pickups. It is very rare the the guitar would come with the exact pickups I want, even if they are nice pickups. I would rather be swapping new 7s for a DA7 bridge and Liquifire 7 neck than doing the same thing to a pair of Duncans, or even worse, actives.

Seriously, why is this not imported? This is killer:

As an ibanez guy i love these, but i love solid color no shit simple guitars, even if they are basswood i love black guitars also. sorry.

I like my 2027 a bunch. :yesway: Though I use the piezo about once a year..

Now think how much nicer it would be with a maple or ebony board.

Stupid Ibanez. That thing is awesome. Ash body, trans blue finish, classy pickguard. Win.
