Ibanez RGR321EX Black 2011
Ibanez RGR321EX, black, made in Indonesia 2011. Slick, quick with butts to kick. This mean looking creature takes the classic RG body shape, adds a practical hardtail bridge, reverse headstock, sleek neck and body binding and some active pickups. It all comes out looking awesome: ready to melt faces, but in a black-tie kinda way. The pickups are obviously fairly hot, but they clean up pretty well considering and still offer plenty of warmth and body. The neck is suitably fast, with that flat shred D shape we all have come to expect from Ibanez, and it's in great playing shape with tidy frets and a low action. Our friendly house tech has done a full re-wire under the hood, so this has deluxe switch/pots/jack/wire and is ready for another couple of decades of singing angry songs. Tidy!
