Ibanez RGT1270PB-DTF 3-stars Reviews

The dream of owning a premium guitar came true with "stone" obstacles

This is my second guitar, the previous one was an ESP LTD Viper-50 for $200 - bulky, heavy, with a muddy sound. So I was very impressed with the characteristics of the RGT1270PB. But it was not so easy to feel them at first. Because the guitar arrived with a dirty fretboard and the inability to tune it. The strings were rattling and generally not tuned together. Honestly, I expected more attention to a premium guitar for €1400. My first guitar for 200 bucks was ready to sing right out of the store. So I took it to a luthier. They fixed it up. They also took out a stone that was pounding inside. I asked them if it was a gem, but they didn't show me, so it must have been a gem. It was funny, but what the hell? Finally I connected the guitar to my Positive Grid Riff and my Macbook. The sound is magical on all pickup modes. It will take me some time to get used to the new shape and style of holding and playing, which is very different from the ESP LTD Viper-50. But overall, I'm happy with a dream come true.
