(ARCHIVE) Ibanez Premium RG950QMZ Transparent Charcoal 2013
- Description
- Guitarchives
Ibanez RG950QMZ, charcoal quilt maple finish, made in Indo 2013. Ibanez's Premium series launched in the 2010s as a midpoint between their standard line and the pricier Prestige and J-Custom lines, and the general consensus was that they were really nicely executed. This has a very fast neck indeed: typical Ibanez super flat shred-D 'Wizard' shape, with some classy maple binding around the rosewood board and big tall frets... built for speed all around. The pickups are good too: the bridge has plenty of snarl and midrange presence, while the neck pickup is dark and smooth. The finish walks the line between flashy and understated, it's a cool vibe. There's plenty to like here, it's a whole lot of shred for the cashola.
