The pictures in the listings are of the actual item so please have a look for an idea of the cosmetic condition. The salesman at the local guitar store strongly suggested I try the Ibanez RGT42. I hadn’t been playing since 1994, when I quit music entirely. In 2003 or 2004, I wanted to pick up a guitar. I stumbled upon the Ibanez RGT42 completely by chance. In fact it doesn't even say Gotoh anywhere on the trem.*** The shipping cost to most countries is included in the listed price ***Īll guitars we sell have been checked and adjusted for playability. Ibanez RGT42 was one of the best dollar for dollar guitars ever made.
It's not like Ibanez boasted about the Edge's Gotoh origins. Surely they could have found a lesser known maker that would have charged less per unit. If Ibanez just wanted a cheaper product, why not have another company make it. If Ibanez really wanted to get around the fees associated with the licensing, then they could have made a bridge that did not adhere to FRs patents, not like they haven't done it in the past, and they still do it today. So Gotoh had no problem putting out an inferior product that would involve them reworking, at the time, an already existing product? In all my years as an Ibanez player, and to some extent collector, have I NEVER seen a Gotoh made bridge completely break in half, let alone an Original Edge. I think you'll be surprised how nice they are. Though, if you get a chance, try out a Japanese RGT. Find out their differences in sound, playability, build quality and value. Not to mention, as far as mainstream retail guitar companies go, they have a pretty decent selection of 7s.ĭo you really think they are out to screw everyone over? Perhaps they just aren't your thing, they're sure a world and half different then Carvin. Here we compare the Ibanez RGT1220PB Premium and the PRS SE Pauls Guitar. For what they predominantly make (bolt-on, double locking trem equipped, basswood bodied, thin necked shredders), they do a damn good job. I'm only asking that you give them a fair shot. I'm not saying that Ibanez is the greatest company ever. In fact they stopped using Original Edge bridges due to the FR patents.Īs for the neck creaking, I've experienced what you're saying to a degree, but I've found that happen on MOST bolt-on guitars with double-locking, full-floating trems. In fact it doesn't even say Gotoh anywhere on the trem.
