Ibanez RG2550Z GK Galaxy Black Electric Guitar inc case

by Gig Stig

This is a beautifully crafted guitar and the pick-up configuration of two hum-buckers and a single coil give massive scope for this instrument to suit a wide range of musical styles. The clean sounds are bright, rich and full whilst the hum-buckers sound raunchy and hot once you dial-up your distortion settings.

Personally I don’t use the tremolo arm much when playing, and even then only in subtle instances – however I thought I’d put the Pro Edge system through its paces. Despite several “whammy bar” dive-bombs the tuning held firm, although I’m a determined believer that tuning stability with locking tremolos comes from the careful setting up of the system.

I’m afraid we’re back to the old adage again, which is … you get what you pay for …. This is not a cheap guitar by any means and will set you back well over £500, however for that amount of money you will get a quality guitar with great versatility and stunning looks ….
