Product Rating Product Review This is my second Floyd style guitar, and I will say it is one of my favorites now. Easy to play once you know how to tune a Floyd style trem which is easy. Some say beginners to stay away from Floyd style guitars but if you have the ability to watch a 5-minute tutorial on YouTube you can learn how to tune it. It's smooth and gives the total bends and slides that makes hard rock what it is. I am so glad I went with this Ibanez. When I first started, I had a Gio Ibanez and wound up giving it away. Wow what a difference this guitar will turn your playing into a rock star. LOL I highly, again highly, recommend!

Product Review My Ibanez is great ! I had one like this several years ago but unfortunately I had to sell it. I love the action and the fast neck and the pick ups really cut through the mix. It works well with my Marshall 20/40 and gives me pleasure to know that I got an old friend back in my hands again !

Great value. Has the vibe of an old JEM.

Product Review I used to own an '89 Ibanez VBK JEM that I regrettably sold to buy a gaming pc. I wanted to get a newer entry level RG so I could have a floyd,HSH superstrat in E standard. I've had this RG for long enough to know it's a keeper. This thing has the same feel and vibe of my old JEM! Minus the monkey grip and other features obviously. The neck feels fantastic and I only had to do very minor setup adjustments to my liking. I would have liked a rosewood or ebony fingerboard but of course this is the lower end model. The Jatoba feels good under the fingers, similar to rosewood but with a slightly lighter shade to it. Like most guitars you buy online mine came desperately needing some good oil and cleaning. The Jatoba fingerboard seems to require a bit more lubrication than rosewood. The neck binding is done well, not perfect but to a good standard. I do wish the trem was an Edge lo-pro... But again, this is the lower priced model. There is nothing wrong with the Edge tremolo, it stays in tune well with whammy bar abuse but it is one of the bulkier Original Floyd Rose style bridges. The stock Quantum pickups are among the best stock Ibanez pickups I've tried. They are hot but versatile. However I did swap them out with the classic Dimarzio Air Norton/Steves Special combo and a True Velvet middle. I do believe a higher end Ibanez will obviously sound better than this but for the price it really is hard to beat! Well done Ibanez and AMS!

Product Review This guitar plays and sounds great out of the box, and offers a great deal of versatility. A setup goes a long way, and it's a great guitar to experiment with different pickups and tremolos if you aren't happy with the stock units.

Product Review Received my guitar less than 48hrs later. It was already set up pretty good and merely needed a tune up on two strings! Plays fantastic and the sound is amazing! Very surprised the tremolo was set so well out of the box! Fast playing action, fast neck and very well put together. Highly recommend this guitar. For a mid range guitar you get an amazing bang for your buck! Very surprised by the quality! Oh yeah!

Product Review The Ibanez RG450DXB I just purchased is exceptional, and especially for the price. The action is fast, the tone is great and the pickup combination provides some incredible range. Only critique would be the strings it came with but that was a less than 20 minute fix and she's good to go now! Thanks American Musical!

Product Review I was looking for a second guitar I can keep in standard tuning with a tremolo bridge and came across this Ibanez and immediately fell in love. This guitar is just great for the price range. Arrived in just ONE DAY. One day free shipping. I could not believe it. It arrived perfectly packaged but it did need a standard setup but thats a given with any new guitar tar you buy. After the setup, the guitar plays and sounds great and most importantly of all, it stays well in tune after some gnarly dive bombs. 10/10 would definitely recommend if you are searching for a guitar in this price range. Buy from AMS!

Product Review The low e string was a bit frayed where it goes intp the bridge, so it broke trying to tune it. I took it to local luthier and had them set it up. Now it plays like butta. Sounds awesome too!

Product Review I’ve had a lot of guitars in the past 35 years including custom made guitars and high dollar ones as well. I’ve always wanted a white Ibanez and I needed it for a project I wanted to do so I took a chance and for $400.00 I figured what the H ? Well needless to say I love this guitar ! Cheapest guitar in my collection and I’d put it up against any of them.

Product Review The guitar sounds and plays very well. Action is pretty fast, and the neck feels comfortable. The only annoying thing is the tuning!! My god I have never spent more time in my life tuning a guitar lol but once it’s there it’ll stay in tune unless you want to switch to a completely different tuning.

Product Review I'm not the biggest fan of Ibanez, with past experiences being below mediocre. But I particularly loved this guitar. It's great for the price and I dare say could compete with higher end Ibanez. I highly recommend if you want to go the next step from the basics or just want something to mod like me.

Your general opinion of this product. It was exactly the sound I was looking for. Good hard sound! So far, so good. Very durable. I already tried smashing on stage and it just bounced back into my hands! Yeeaaahhh!!! It is the perfect size. I have huge fat hands and and it is easy to get to the controls and the neck is just the right size. Rich sound. Needed a tune. No big deal. I love the look of this baby!
