Wizard neck is a total badass! Excellent Dimarzio pickups, bridge, and volume and tone controls. Well balanced!

Great tones for lead, shred, and demonic exorcisms!

Really like the pink finish, its different and its good to be different then another sunburst or same old color options.

Took it out of box, tuned it, and straight away did a gig all inside of 30 minutes. How cool is that!

Superb quality on this guitar. I was lucky not too many black flecks in the paint job, the front body finish of my guitar is flawless. The neck is an absolute dream and very comfortable for access to all frets, I notice no walnut stripe sticking out of neck that I have read some guys complain on.The tremolo is amazing, I graduated up from an older Ibanez RG with an Edge III and this Edge zero II with ZPS trem in the RG1XXV is amazingly stable and fun.

No issues so far on reliability, as it is well built and looks like it will take road & gig abuse very well.

Your general opinion of this product.
Ibanez has done us proud with these very colorful RG1XXV's , they are very affordable considering the high build quality of the guitar. I purchased the guitar in FYE and the yello really glows nicely at night. The thing i love is every hour of teh day this guitar looks a slightly different hint of yellow. Very cool and impresses my friends that see this guitar.

Beautiful playability and feel and I am very glad I purchased this guitar as it has a very pro feel and sounds so good as I record it.
Tone

Great tone, I record it using a Pod HD500 and it works great with that. The pickups ae crunchy and clean up nice and work flawless with the Pod HD.
Finish

As mentioned above, superb paint job & finish for the price on this guitar.
Action
How was the action out of the box?
Perfect, did some fine tuning but action was near perfect. Next string change I may have my tech give it a once over for set up, but in my hands the set up was perfect out the box.

Ibanez has done it again, great price on a quality guitar. The only thing i would change is on the neon yellow not put canary yellow pick ups, knobs and inlay on it. Although under stage lights you really can't tell.

The wizard neck is so fast and sleek!! Feels great. The guitar is pretty light too.
Tone

Pickups are crystal clear on clean and heavy and clear on distortion.
Finish

Paint job is awesom, very eye catching.
Action

This guitar is the first guitar i have ever taken straight out of the box and just had to fine tune the tuning and it was perfect!!! Action was perfect!!
