Mon premier Ibanez
Publié le 17/03/11 à 18:40 (contenu en anglais)The RG1570 is the successor to the very famous and successful RG570. It features a basswood body, maple neck and rosewood fretboard. The guitar is equipped with the (then) new Edge Pro floyd, a five way blade switch, volume knob and tone knob. The guitar is a Prestige guitar, so the neck is a five piece neck and ~1mm thicker than the original Wizard.
UTILIZATION
The formula for the RG hasn't changed since the 80s, and it doesn't have to. Everything is pretty much standard affair when comparing this to other RGs. It's built like a rock, but this time, it has the new Prestige neck. The Prestige fretwork is absolutely glorious. You an achieve sick action, and the fret ends felt nicely beveled so you don't snag your hand going up and down the neck. The all access neck joint gives you easy access to the higher frets, and the lower horn rarely gets in your way when doing solo riffs.
SOUNDS
Some people hate basswood, but I love it for lead tones. The stock pickups are weak, but I quickly replaced them with an Air Norton and Steve's Special. I then replaced the switch with a 3 way and completely disconnected the middle pickup as I wasn't using it. The guitar was pretty much set up exactly like John Petrucci's Ibanez models were. The Air Norton gives one of the best lead tones ever, and the Steve's Special sounded tight, clear and articulate. DiMarzios really jive well with basswood guitars.
OVERALL OPINION
Overall, I recommend checking out either the 570 or the 1570. All of these are great guitars that are more geared towards the shred guitarist. Anybody looking for a higher performance guitar owes it to him or herself to at least try one of these guitars and see why they're so popular.00 - tjon901
Le RG-phare
Publié le 15/05/11 à 14:44 (contenu en anglais)The RG1570 is the modern version of the classic RG570. It is made in the Ibanez Prestige factory in Japan and the quality really shows. Like most Ibanez RG's it features a basswood body with a maple neck and rosewood fretboard. The prestige models get a 5 piece neck for extra stability. This means the neck is made from 5 pieces of wood to help prevent warping. This is important when you have a neck as thin as an Ibanez RG neck. The Edge Pro tremolo system is one of the best on the market and once setup it holds tune perfectly.
UTILIZATION
Playability is the name of the game when it comes to Ibanez RG guitars. Ibanez got it right in the 80s and they havent messed it up. A superstrat body with deep cutaways connected to a super thin neck makes playing everywhere on the neck a breeze. Ibanez gives special care to the fretwork on the prestige models, this is the greatest difference between the prestige models and the normal models. Like many of the new Ibanez RG models the 1570 features the all access neck joint so you can comfortably play in the high registers of the neck.
SOUNDS
Im not a big fan of basswood. I think many companies use it to cut costs. The Ibanez pickups are also not very good. Their guitars match up well with aftermarket pickups. Most people only put Dimarzios in Ibanez guitars but other brands work well too. A pickup change can help get a heavier sound out of the basswood. With the single coil in the middle you must remember that the single coil will produce much more ambient noise than the two humbuckers. So keep this in mind when you are switching pickups.
OVERALL OPINION
The Ibanez RG Prestige is one of the premier metal guitars on the market. The guitar does not compromise in its playability. Every part of the guitar is designed to help you play better or faster. For anyone looking for an easy playing guitar I recommend they look at the Ibanez RG, and the best RG's are the prestige models. With a change of a couple parts on the guitar they become some of the best guitars on the market.00 - Hatsubai

RG Prestige
Publié le 23/06/11 à 17:39 (contenu en anglais)The Ibanez Prestige factory in Japan is where they make their best guitars. These guitars get more attention and quality control than all the other Ibanez guitars. The RG1570 is the modern version of the classic RG570. It is made in the Ibanez Prestige factory in Japan and the quality really shows. Like most Ibanez RG's it features a basswood body with a maple neck and rosewood fretboard.

This is important when you have a neck as thin as an Ibanez RG neck. The Edge Pro tremolo system is one of the best on the market and once setup it holds tune perfectly.

SOUNDS
Im not a big fan of basswood. I think many companies use it to cut costs. The Ibanez pickups are also not very good. The neck pickup provides an okay sound. It can be smooth for solos and leads and clean stuff. The bridge pickup is too weak. I had to check if my volume knob what up all the way when I plugged it in. Coming from a guitar with high output pickups to this shows you how bad some factory pickups can be. Their guitars match up well with aftermarket pickups. Most people only put Dimarzios in Ibanez guitars but other brands work well too. A pickup change can help get a heavier sound out of the basswood. With the single coil in the middle you must remember that the single coil will produce much more ambient noise than the two humbuckers. So keep this in mind when you are switching pickups. If you are looking for a straight metal tone a set of EMG's could make this guitar a monster.

The guitar does not compromise in its playability. Every part of the guitar is designed to help you play better or faster.

Instrument de bonne qualité
Publié le 22/08/11 à 06:32 (contenu en anglais)It was made in japan, in 2008 .
This is the definitive rg prestige superstrat, with 24 frets, hum-sing-hum pickups, basswood body, 5 piece maple neck with rosewood fingerboard, and ibanez edge pro trem unit. The neck is wizard prestige, with 18mm thickness on the 1st fret, and 20mm on the last fret.
This guitar has the "suede" finish from ibanez. According to my luthier friend, this type of finish is more commonly known as "soft touch" paint, which often used in automotive interior. It's very unique, becuase it looks and feels like rubber to the touch. On the positive side, it wont reveal fingerprints or scratch marks, but on the negative side, this kind of paint is not easy to refinish, so if you managed to dent the finish, it's going to be there forever.
You may or may not like the look of the finish, its according to one's taste. For me, i really like it, because it looks kinda stealthy compared to regular glossy finish.
UTILIZATION
The wizard prestige neck profile is notorious for it's very low action and fast slim shape. Upper fret access is as good as its get for a 24 fret guitar, because the cutaway is deep.
Body shape is kinda ergonomic, because its highly contoured, its very comfortable for playing sitting down. The guitar itself is medium weight, maybe around 3 - 3.5 kgs, so it wont put strain on your back.
Overall build quality feels very rigid, and i do not notice any flaws.
The RG prestige is easily the benchmark when it comes to playability and precise japanese construction.
SOUNDS
Now this is the weak point of this instrument,
1. the stock ibanez pickups are not very good. For me they lack punch, and the top end is not focused, making the instrument a bit fuzzy and honky at certain amp settings.
The v8 bridge, is the better out of the 3, it has vocal quality that is quite similar to dimarzio paf pro, but still you have to be careful on your amp settings to make it sound good. The v8 is usable, but switching to aftermarket pickups will give you very noticeable immprovement on the sound quality.
The s1, is a single coil for middle position, and it lacks the brilliance and glassiness of other single coil, however its also more quiet than other single coil.
The v7 is simply bad, muddy with bad pick attack.
I have since switched the pickup to dimarzio evolution, and the sound improved considerably, but this is a review of the guitar in stock condition.
2. The body is made out of basswood. I hate to admit this, but i have played many instrument with various tonewood. The basswood just isnt the best wood for the body. It is a soft wood, which i feel also "soften" the vibration coming out of the guitar, which means the harmonics is a bit reduced. In my opinion, other tone wood like mahogany, alder, ash, etc offer more color and nuance to the sound.
3. The neck is 24 frets, while some people may like the upper fret access, but it really is a trade-off because it makes the neck pickup sound bad. I have yet found a 24 frets guitar which can do the singing neck tone of "still got the blues", or slash's "sweet child of mine" close to the original. Neck pickup sound from 24frets guitar is colder, less harmonics, less sweet, less glassy, and less noticeable pick attack. Usable for shredding, but not good if you look for that magical singing sustain sound.
OVERALL OPINION
I like the pointy body shape, very classy yet modern, also i like the flat finish which makes it looks like no ordinary iinstrument, also the neck shape is very comfortable, and the craftmanhip is flawless. The only setback is the sound, which i think is OK, but nothing great. If you willing to spend a hundred bucks you can upgrade the pickup and turn it into a good sounding instrument.
The value : for 350 bucks this guitar is a steal, this is basically the same guitar other people would pay 2000++ for only cosmetics differences (ibanez JEM, PGM, JS, etc.)
This is my project guitar, which means it will see many upgrades in the future.00 - King Loudness
Grande superstrat
Publié le 31/08/11 à 19:05 (contenu en anglais)The Ibanez Prestige RG1570 BK is one of the most common superstrat type guitars seen today. It's basically an updated version of the famous RG570 from the nineties, but made in the Prestige factory with a few minor changes. It's got a basswood body, a maple neck with rosewood fretboard and 24 frets, the awesome Ibanez AANJ neck joint for killer upper fret access, Ibanez Edge tremolo, Ibanez tuners, an H-S-H pickup configuration, DiMarzio/IBZ pickups, and a control layout of volume, tone and 5 way selector switch. They're made in Japan, and come with a nice Prestige hardshell case as well.
UTILIZATION
The design of the RGs in general is really ergonomic and well thought out for being a shred guitar. The neck is one of their many Wizard models. I personally have grown to find the necks a bit too thin for my tastes, but many shred cats absolutely love them. The body is very light basswood and like most nice Ibanez RGs, it's contoured and sculpted to have great access all around. The neck features their AANJ neck heel, which is perfect for getting right up to the 24th fret. It is also a help that it has direct mounted pickups and a low profile tremolo for keeping things down and out of the way as not to be obtrusive to the picking hand.
Getting a good sound out of this guitar is pretty simple as it's basically designed to play shred/fusion type stuff and it does it fairly well. I'm not a huge fan of Ibanez's stock pickups, but even so the guitar does a decent job at sounding good overall.
SOUNDS
I've tried this guitar through various Peavey and Marshall amplifiers in my younger days and at the time I thought it sounded great. The stock pickups were never my thing (I always preferred proper DiMarzios or Seymour Duncans) but for the high gain lead stuff that I was playing and that the guitar was designed for, it's cool. The neck pickup has a great smooth character that works best for legato or sweep arpeggios. Complex chords also sound cool when used with a cleaner tone. The bridge pickup has a nice snarl to it that is the ticket for faster alternate picking stuff as well as rock rhythm tones. The split coil modes offer a nice spanky sound that is great for vintage type clean tones or some unique distortion flavours.
OVERALL OPINION
I think the Ibanez RG1570 BK is a great shredder's guitar that offers good playability, features and a reasonable set of tones for not a lot of money. They are about $1,100 new which is a killer deal considering the features and craftsmanship. It's not built to the level of a J Custom or a Suhr or something, but for the burgeoning shredder, it's a great choice.00 - James...
Grande avec un swap de ramassage
Publié le 03/09/11 à 18:14 (contenu en anglais)These are a great value for quality. You get an actual edge tremolo. Japan made quality and hardware. In my opinion these are some of the most well constructed guitars in the world. In fact I would argue that you would have to pay 3 times the cost to find a better made guitar. They are just that good. It has the traditional RG body with basswood. Wizard neck. You know the drill. 24 frets. HSH pickups. It's a shred machine.
UTILIZATION
Arguably the best feeling guitar I've ever played. The neck is a dream. Also, the hell carve is a great improvement over the old RG design. It's one of the best designed instruments of all time I think. Great feel and look. Weight is good. It's just near perfect for a shred guitar. The electronics are solid. Best of all The Edge bridge is possibly the best trem ever built. I hate to sound so ecstatic about this guitar, but I have played a lot of super strat types and the RG is by far the best feeling one out there.
SOUNDS
Here is where it falls short. I use a number of amps, but typically I like to play my RG's through a Splawn quick rod or a Mesa Stiletto. Here's the deal though. The stock IBZ pickups are pretty much unremarkable. Are they horrible. No. They sound decent but they lack character. Ibanez designed these to attempt to be all things for all players and the result is a bland and confused sounding set of pickups. For some players they will be okay. It really depends on whether you know what sounds you want. Personally I like flavor so I change them out in every RG I buy.
A lot of guys who with the Tone Zone/Air Norton combo in these, which is fine. Personally I find them a little bit bassy in the rosewood necked RG's. In my RG I have a Super 3 and a Breed neck. They compliment each other pretty well. Fairly high gain pickups. It really depends on what sounds you want, however I've found that the RG's just sound better with Dimarzio's and particularly high gain pickups. With the stock pickups I give it a 5. With good replacements it's an 8 or 9.
OVERALL OPINION
The value here is unbelievable. If you are a metal/hard rock player, you can't do better for under $1600. I mean that. It's a stripped down player's axe. With a pickup switch it's unbeatable. The fretwork is great and the craftsmanship an hardware is top notch. I've owned 4 or 5 of these and they're all great. Go pick up a used one for a few hundred. You won't regret it.00 - Hatsubai
Très solide Ibanez

Prestige chantournage et la qualité
Publié le 22/10/11 à 22:42 (contenu en anglais)This is the upgraded model from the famous RG570. To be honest, it's not that much different from the RG570 except for a few minor things. The most notable would be that this is made in the new Prestige factory. The guitar features a basswood body, a maple neck with a rosewood fretboard, 24 jumbo frets with dot inlays, an Edge Pro tremolo, two humbuckers, one volume, one tone and a five way switch.
UTILIZATION
The fretwork on this is superb, and it's the main selling point of these newer guitars. The frets on these, while not quite as good as the Prestige, offer some semi-rounded fret ends that other guitar manufacturers don't seem to do. I was able to get some super low action on this. The necks on these aren't quite as thin as the original Wizard necks, but they're stil very slim. The bridge on this is the brand new (at the time) Edge Pro tremolo, and it works great. It doesn't have the locking studs, and it's a little stiffer than the original Edge or LoPro Edge, but it's still a very high quality bridge that can take tons of abuse and remain stable.
SOUNDS
These still have the same old bland IBZ pickups that are installed in all of standard production line Ibanez guitars. They're not that great, and I recommend you replace them with real DiMarzios. The bridge pickups in these are a bit thick sounding, and that's great for basswood, but it's not that clear or dynamic. I find that regular production DiMarzios sound a lot better in these than these IBZ pickups do. The neck pickup I always found to be a touch bright in these, and turning the tone knob down doesn't really seem to solve the issue. The guitar has a five way switch that gives you lots of different sounds which is real cool, and I wish more guitars would feature these extended controls as they're easy to implement.
OVERALL OPINION
The guitars are very high quality, and I actually prefer these over the RG570 models. You can get these super cheap, and I find the fretwork to be a lot more consistent than on the previous models. If you're going to keep these, one thing I'd recommend would be replacing the pickups with some real ones. Also, if you can spend the extra 40 bucks, you can get some locking studs in these to make the trem as good as the old ones.00 - Hatsubai

UTILISATION
Le manche est extra-fin, pour pouvoir shredder plus facilement, elle est plutôt bien équilibrée, l'accès aux aigus est ultra-facile, mais en même temps, elle est faite pour ça.
SONORITÉS
Bon, à vide, le son de la guitare est quasi-inexistant, en même temps, vu la quantité et la nature du bois, on pouvait s'y attendre.
Une fois branchée, la bête sonne vraiment pas mal dans des contextes hard-rock ou métal. Les sons cleans "metal 80's" pleins de chorus et de flanger sonnent pas mal, sans effet ils sont juste corrects. Une fois correctement réglé, le vibrato fonctionne très bien, à vous les dive bombings et autres joyeusetés de nos amis en pantalon moulant zébré.
Bien évidemment, avec un gros ampli high gain, elle s'en sort très bien, même si son terrain de prédilection reste les sons metal/prog (les vieux dream theater, symphony X, etc.) et les sons thrash 80's.
AVIS GLOBAL
Je l'ai depuis presque huit ans, et malheureusement elle vieillit plutôt mal, le vernis du corps se craquèle de partout. En même temps, je n'ai pas été particulièrement soigneux avec cette gratte. Le rapport qualité/prix de l'époque n'était pas trop mal, je ne saurais me prononcer vis-à-vis du marché actuel. Aujourd'hui avec le recul, je choisirai probablement une guitare avec plus de caractère, même si elle m'a comblée pendant quelques années...Lire moins10 - jijisopretty

Pour ma part, je joue dans un style résolument Neo Metal (à la Rammstein). Le micro chevalet est très étudié pour les distortions sauvages tranchantes et agressives. Pour l'épaisseur, on repassera par contre, ce n'est pas une Les Paul. Dans mon cas ce n'est pas indispensable car je joue avec un son très tranchant, je ne recherche pas l'épaisseur qu'assure notre 2nd guitariste.
Le micro manche se prête davantage à un jeu que je qualifierai d'atmosphérique. Le son est cathédralesque en exagérant sans même utiliser la moindre Reverb. Par contre, pour les distortions, sur ce micro, je suis pas encore convaincu sur la plupart des styles. En son clair, c'est génial par contre.
Si je devais utiliser un mot pour qualifier le son de cette guitare, je dirai "froid" et c'est très exactement ce que j'aime chez elle.
Si je devais utiliser un mot pour qualifier ce que n'est pas le son de cette guitare, je dirai "gras" ou "épais".
Pour un style Métal Lead, Rock psyché ou alternatif, éventuellement Métal rythmique, cette guitare convient parfaitement, surtout si vous recherchez le son des groupes de métal scandinaves / germaniques.
AVIS GLOBAL
J'utilise donc cette Ibanez depuis 2 ans.
Avant de l'obtenir, je jouais sur une Ibanez ART (micro actifs) qui a un son plus épais que la RG... mais qui pêche par son manque de précision face à la RG. J'ai eu l'occasion de tester une LTD Viper 400 qui m'avait également convaincue pour les distortions. Toutefois, elle n'avait pas la polyvalence de la RG.
Ce que j'aime dans cette guitare, c'est simple : Elle sait faire tout ce que j'aime et elle le fait bien en plus.
Pour ma part, j'ai la chance d'avoir un modèle datant de 2004 (pièces de meilleures qualités que les modèles actuels dixit un luthier ^^), une 1ère main. Je l'avais eu pour 475€.
Je referai ce choix si je disposais du même budget.Lire moins11 - naoulaPublié le 15/04/09 à 17:57- Made in Japan
- 24 frettes Jumbo
- 2 humbuckers V7 (manche), V8 (chevalet) et un simple S1 (central)(micro ibanez)
- Floyd Edge Pro Ibanez
- Bloque-Cordes
- Potards en metal de volume et de tonalité, sélecteur micro 5 positions
- Manche Wizard 5 Pièces
- Etui rigide Ibanez Prestige
rien n'a redire sur les caractéristiques la finition est parfaite c'est a peu près la meme chose que les prestige a 1000€ quoi que sur les modèles 2008 le vibrato est différent et semble un peu plus fiable(cf rg 2550), juste un bémol pour la peinture qui est trés fragile

UTILISATION
Que dire sur cette RG Prestige... Bien que l'on est déja en terrain connu : le corps est en tilleul (son neutre), le manche est fin et très plat (inverse total des fender par exemple) parfais pour le jeu rapide et moderne, le vibrato peut acceuillir de fort tirant de cordes et c'est une copie parfaite des floyd rose, l'acces aux aigus est parfais (je pense qu'il n'y a pas mieux avec les ESP et LTD), le poids est parfais (c'est du tilleul donc assez léger)
il y a deux potars, un pour le volume, un pour la tonalité, un split de micro. d'ailleur une petite critique de la série RG il est impossible de splitter les micros à double bobinnages (pas top pour les sons cristallins)
L'autre critique concerne le vibrato. Pour ce qui est de l'accordage c'est assez galère, il faut avoir l'habitude, le changement de corde est prise de tête donc a éviter pour les débutants sinon ils risquent de se décourager rapidement.
sinon c'est du tout bon.
SONORITÉS
Alors là on arrive au point le plus polémique chez Ibanez : les micros. j'entends beaucoup de personnes plébisciter les ibanez pour leur facilité de jeu (là j'approuve) et la qualité de leur micros (j'approuve moins). en effet les V7, V8, S1 sont très répendus sur les RG prestige, mais a part leur gros niveau de sortis on peut critiquer leur manque de personnalité. On voit bien que DiMarzio y a apposé sa griffe mais c'est assez froid en plus le corps en tilleul (son assez neutre) n'arrange rien. Je n'irais jusqu'a dire que le son de la guitare est impersonnelle mais presque (tout depend de l'ampli faut l'essayer sur un marschall et un fender et vous verrez, flagrand d'ailleur sur ce dernier).
Le V7 (micro manche est parfait pour un rendu funk voir blues si on baisse le volume, ce micros est axé rythmique, pas la peine pour les phrasés genre shred.
Le S1 (central) ne sers a rien pas de niveau de sorti son véritablement neutre, je suis méchant... il peut servir quand même à une balade acoustique mais il aurait du etre mis en micro manche mais bon...
Le V8 (chevalet) est le mieux des trois mais c'est aussi le plus limité dans la polyvalence, il est axé métal. Le son est gras le palm mute est tranchant (même en son clair c'est pour vous dire!!!) niveau de sorti énorme!!!!!!! les aigus sont pas trop mal mais un peu trop baveux donc amateur du shred c'est pas trop mal.
allez un 8/10 je suis pas trop méchant... même si j'ai passé 10 lignes a les démonter lol! mais je vous jure qu'il y a pire.
AVIS GLOBAL
Je l'utilise depuis 3 ans maintenant et j'en suis tres content, elle est fiable facile à jouer, le vibrato répond très bien. Juste un bémol pour les micros qu'il faut changer. De mon côté j'ai mis des dimarzio et c'est franchement le pied même mieux que les micros IBZ/DiMarzio des Prestige a 1000€. Donc, en achetant cette guitare (800à 900€) et en changeant les micros (200€ avec pose) vous aurez un rapport qualité prix hors norme. Je vous la conseille vivement si vous cherchez un niveau de sorti énorme(micro d'origine), un style indéniable, assortie d'une facilité a jouer, cette guitare est faite pour vous!Lire moins00 - mouche_qui_puePublié le 07/03/08 à 16:22Tout a été déjà dit, mais pour être synthétique :

UTILISATION
- Le manche est excellent.
Très plat et assez large, il est idéal pour des grosses paluches de métalleux !
Jouant également sur une vieille Strat Japan des année 80, avec les frettes un peu usées,
je trouve que celles de l'Iba affleurent beaucoup quand je switche de l'une à l'autre...

- Accès aux aigus remarquable
- Ergo super. Bien équilibrée.
- Un seul point me gène : le positionnement des micros. La config H-S-H m'agace un peu, car le single du milieu me gène parfois un petit peu. Il n'est pas rare que mon médiator ripe dessus. J'ai songé à l'enlever ou à le rabaisser... Question d'habitude ceci dit... Qd je joue bcp dessus, ça passe.
- On prend la guitare, on se galère à l'accorder à cause du floyd et du bloque-corde et hop, on a tout de suite un bon son.
SONORITÉS
- Les sons sont déjà excellents de base...
J'ai changé les micros pour des Seymour... C'est carrément mortel maintenant.
Pour du gros Rock ou du Métal, c'est vraiment l'éclate !
- Je l'ai testé sur des petits machines (Roland Cube, Fender Gdec) et sur des gros Marshall de studio... A chaque fois, le son est au rdv ! Le son reste toujours un peu froid, mais précis et puissant. Avec un disto un peu grasse qui réchauffe le tout, ç'est vraiment pas mal. Avec le nouveau set de micros, c'est vraiment sympa !
7 pour le son de base - 9 avec des Seymours -> Ca fait un 8 de moyenne !
AVIS GLOBAL
- Je l'ai depuis 2 ans maintenant.
Achetée après avoir essayé tout type de modèles...
Coup de foudre dans le magasin après l'avoir eu entre les mains.
- J'aime le manche, l'ergonomie générale, le son qu'elle balance.
- J'aime pas la combinaison H-S-H avec des micros tout rapprochés.
- Incroyable qualité / prix
- Ce serait à refaire, je prendrais une de ses grandes soeurs, genre 3120, avec une config à deux doubles et des micros dimarzio de série. Ceci dit, pour le porte monnaie, RG1570 + set de Seymours < RG3120Lire moins00
