Well, it's my first post here - excited to join up and share some of the things that happen in my life, most likely with a focus on guitars but I partake in many hobbies so we shall see.
Last night my new Ibanez arrived - RG370 AHMZ, purchased from Revolution Music in Brisbane, Australia.
I decided on this guitar based on it's relative rarity in the lower tier Ibanez range - Ash instead of the usual Basswood for the body and a really nice Maple fretboard.
After pulling it out of it's cardboard box, it definitely needs a setup but is still very playable. Ibanez have changed the stud system for the floating bridge so I need to double check before I go and wreck anything.
Frets are mildly oxidised after the boat ride, certainly not as bad as when I have received guitars from China but they likely sit in a warehouse in Aussie for a lot longer as well.
I think the standout difference from previous Ibanez RGs is how well the bridge will flutter when you flick the bar - my last RG was a Bio Armour 420 and I genuinely think Ibanez have made some nice changes to their bridge systems.
The colour looks great and the combination of blue and the natural maple fretboard/black headstock is stunning.
Very pleased to add it to the family.
I work tonight but will post a vid over the weekend for some tones.
