  • Holy Hell Blast, this could be the nicest guitar I have ever ever ever played.. I loves it I do! The awesome Ibanez RG652AHM, limited edition for american retailers in very short supply.
    An ash body and birdseye maple neck, this thing looks stunning; add to this a kick ass DiMarzio Air Norton and Tone Zone and you have sonic nirvana! We as usual go through the pick-up tones clean and then with a little go juice, there will be a play through soon so come back and see us y'all.

    Yes Paul, Yes Sir!!
    2 years ago When i was researching which Ibanez i wanted, I kept coming back to this video. You did a great job to paint the true picture. I couldn't find an RG652AHM to actually try, so it was not an easy decision.
    I now know your sincerity about this guitar was real. I can't believe how much i love this guitar. Plays like a dream, and she's beautiful too!!. The RG652AHM-NGB is something special. Thank you....Thank you for being the final vote on my decision to purchase this guitar. Love it !
    Rock on Brother.

    Great Review. I just got this guitar a couple of days back after a 3 week wait. Your review was instrumental (pun intended) in my purchasing this guitar. :) Love the guitar man, what a versatile guitar. Love the Dimarzio Pickups. Much better sound/ quality than my Ibanez RG570 made in Japan one (with the stock V7-S1-V8 pickups). The RG570 will sadly get step motherly treatment now since this will be my main go to guitar for the future. Now I'll have to re-adjust all my patches on my Boss GT-001 for this guitar or create new ones for this guitar.

    I have had mine for about three and a half weeks now. Found one open box on Musicians Friend, so that knocked a few dollars off the price.
    I'm no pro like Paul here. In fact, up until purchasing the 652 I hadn't played guitar in seven years.
    This instrument is just on another looks in terms of looks, but more importantly the tone is simply amazing. Paired with my 5150 III 2x12 and a few pedals in the loop. Pretty much impossible to get a bad sound out of the thing. If you can find one I would highly recommend this Ibanez.

    I bought one of these new in 2018 in the Antique White Blonde finish and like an idiot only kept it for 2 months... I finally decided to buy another new one 2 days ago..it should be here to me at my house tomorrow and I am patiently waiting haha for it..these are just incredible guitars at a great price..I won't sell this one for sure..my first one's neck was highly figured with incredible maple figuring on the entire fretboard and the rear neck itself..and it practically played itself..the 2 Dimarzio pickups sound great with the filtiest nastiest high gain you can get and also clean up nicely if and when needed.
    I am primarily a Seymour Duncan pickup player but the Dimarzio bridge Tone Zone and neck slot Air Norton combination are hard to beat...the Ash body with the Maple neck and Prestige fret treatment make this just an awesome guitar...you can pay a lot more.which I do have more expensixe guitars but my new one I can tell already will be my favorite one.

      BaDDasst GuitaRist mate the premiums are amazing this year. the 1070 is one of the best guitars i have ever played. This guitar however is the one from the super wizard neck through to the clarity of the ask body and maple board. You do have a tough choice to make man lol. If i had the money id go with this but dont think the premium range is a lesser beast....its not.....just different.

      Thank you so much Paul for the genuine opinions. I will also try to get my hands on one of the 1070s. Gorgeous looking guitars but I think I want a maple fretboard this time as I already have a rosewood board RG. You can never go wrong with a nice Ibanez!

Compared to my 3250MZ which I love to bits, and is a quality bit of kit, the 652 is just something else....a whole new level. Easily the best Ibanez I've played, although I haven't tried a J Custom.
