RG3120TW
New

The pickups in this guitar are:
DiMarzio
TONE ZONE in the bridge and PAF PRO in the neck position.
The body of this guitar is a piece of mahogany with an AAA flamed maple top.
The neck is a Wizard Prestige neck, a rosewood fingerboard with jumbo frets.
The tremolo is an Ibanez LO PRO EDGE.

I needed another RG3120 (my favorite guitar) so I went up to Crafton to find me one.
I did go through five of these baby’s to find the best one, but they were all great.
This is the guitar that I came home with in the end, an absolutely great copy.

The pickups in this guitar are:
DiMarzio
BREED in the bridge and Virtual Vintage in the middle and neck position.
The body of the guitar is of mahogany with an 1cm thick Hawaiian Koa top.
The neck is a RBM neck, the whole neck is made of one piece of Bolivian Rosewood (Paufeero) with a Bolivian Rosewood fretboard.
The tremolo is an Ibanez EDGE.

A friend at Crafton was talking about a weird looking Ibanez guitar that was hanging in a shop in a small town in Småland, Sweden. He described it and I know what it was so I just had to have it. Reb Beach is an old hero of mine and it was great to find one of his signature guitars.
It feels amazing to play it and I love the look of it.
It is one of the coolest guitars ever made and it plays like a dream.
 

The pickups in this guitar are:
DiMarzio
AIR ZONE in the bridge and PAF JOE in the neck and a FS-1 in the middle position.
The body is Mahogany with a flamed Maple top.
The neck is a Maple Wizard Prestige, with jumbo frets and Abalone Dot Inlays.
The tremolo is an Ibanez LO PRO EDGE.

This is a 2004 special edition version of the good old RG1550. There are only a few of them made and it is a beautiful guitar, I think it was made for the Frankfurt Music Messe but I'm not sure.

The pickups in this guitar are:
DiMarzio
It is BREED (my favourite pickup) in all three positions on this one, just as it came from the factory so there is nothing to change here. The neck is a normal JEM neck with W/6105 frets.
The tremolo is an Ibanez EDGE PRO.

I have had this guitar with me on a couple of clinic tours and it just sounded a little better then all the other ones did. I'm gone have this guitar for recording my new album with.
There is something special about the sound in it and it is an extremely light guitar, me like very much!!!

The pickups in this guitar are:
Ibanez ACH1 & 2.
This is a stock Ibanez Artcore series guitar and it just looks like a dream.
It is a 3pc Artcore neck with beautiful inlays and a Flamed Sycamore body, classic stuff.

I did need a JAZZ sort of guitar for some different sounds and this was the one that
I liked the best.
I string it with Ribbon wounded 0.13-0.56 strings and it sounds amazing.
I love the look on this guitar.
 

RG-1527 (one more, I have two now)
New

The pickups in this guitar are:
DiMarzio
BLAZE in the bridge and AIR NORTON 7 in the neck position.
It is a basswood body and the new Ibanez Edge Pro 7 bridge on it.

I needed another seven string and I think this is the best model for my needs.
Ibanez has changed the size of the neck and this is much thicker then my other 1527.
I haven't really decided on if I like it better or not, but it will surtently make it more stable when you are banging hard on it.

RG3120VV

The pickups in this guitar are:
DiMarzio
TONE ZONE in the bridge and PAF PRO in the neck position.
The body of this guitar is of mahogany with an AAA flamed maple top.
The neck is a Wizard Prestige neck, a rosewood fingerboard with jumbo frets.
The tremolo is a Ibanez LoPro EDGE.

This is my first RG3120. I have only hade this guitar for a year but it is already like a good old friend to me. I have played a little over 170 gigs on it and recorded a lot with it so it starts to look a little beaten up, but it plays like a dream and sounds even better.
It is not as heavy as the new one and that makes it a little brighter sounding.
The strips on the maple top are not as close as on the new one so they look totally different.

If I could only bring one of my guitars to a dessert island, then it would be this one.
 

RG3120VV

The pickups in this guitar are:
DiMarzio
THE BREED in the bridge and PAF PRO in the neck position.
The body of this guitar is a really heavy piece of mahogany with an AAA flamed maple top.
The neck is a Wizard Prestige neck, a rosewood fingerboard with jumbo frets.
The tremolo is an Ibanez LoPro EDGE.

I already had one 3120 but I loved it so much that I had to have one more that was exactly
the same. I changed the bridge pickup to give it a slightly different sound then my other one.
I think this is the best guitar model ever made, by anyone.

The pickups in this guitar are:
DiMarzio
TONE ZONE in the bridge, THE CHOPPER in the neck and an Ibanez AS2 S in the middle position. It is a Nato body with a flamed maple top and a SAT30 bridge.
The neck has a rosewood fingerboard on a maple neck.

This is my latest Ibanez guitar and it plays very well. It is not an expressive guitar but it feels great. I did change the original pickups to the DiMarzio ones and that made it sound even better, the Ibanez ones were okay but the DiMarzio ones are even better.
I found this guitar at Craftons showroom and it just felt so right that I had too have it.
You know that it is a good guitar when you can feel the hole thing vibrate when you play it and this one felt like a dildo, so I had too have it...
 

The pickups in this guitar are:
DiMarzio
THE BREED in the bridge and THE BREED in the neck position.
This is a Mahogany body with a flamed maple top again. The neck has a rosewood fingerboard and jumbo frets. It has Gotoh locking tuners and a Wilkinson VS100 tremolo.

I have never seen any other Ibanez like this one and I don't really know what it is.
The RG-521 was just a number that I made up myself.
But I love it, it sounds like a dream an looks good.
The Breed pickups really made a perfect job in this guitar.
 

The pickups in this guitar are:
DiMarzio
TONE ZONE in the bridge, FS-1 in the middle and FRED in the neck position.
This is just a plain, good old PGM100. There is really nothing to say about this guitar, if you don't know what it is, then you will never understand.
But I changed the pickups to make it sound more like I wanted it too, and the original pink ones were extremely ugly.

The pickups in this guitar are:
DiMarzio
THE BREED in the bridge and THE BREED in the neck position.
This is the newest member of my family with a oiled Mahogany body. It is a rosewood fretboard on a Mapel neck and jumbo frets. It has Gotoh locking tuners and a Wilkinson VS100 tremolo.

The pickups in this guitar are:
Ibanez
IBZ V87 in the bridge and IBZ V77 in the neck position.
This is my first seven string and a really cool guitar. I was totally uninterested in the seven string idea but had too make some demo songs for my clinics and I feel in love with this guitar. So I had to have it. It is a basswood body and the new Ibanez Edge Pro 7 bridge on it. I will change the pickups one day to something less hot and it will be a great guitar.
You have to have a seven string if you are an Ibanez guy...

The pickups in this guitar are: (not on the picture were it's EMG)
DiMarzio
TONE ZONE in the bridge, JEM in the middle and PAF PRO in the neck position.
This is a really old RG550 with a basswood body and a maple neck; the frets are totally worn down.
The tremolo is the original Ibanez EDGE.

This is the first Ibanez that I got after seeing guys like Paul Gilbert playing Ibanez in the 80's.
It has been with me for a long time and the finish was totally fucked up so I just took it all of with a knife and made it blue (it was metallic blue from the start).
I think this guitar has been equipped with every pickup on the market at one time or another.
It always gets the pickups changed, just to try something new.
I will re-fret this guitar one day and then just leave it on the wall with a sign that says
"You Touch And You Die".
It is sad when a good old friend starts to die on you...
