sick man I def want it now, after hearing this . I was like can those pick ups do full metal to full clean so veastile, compared to the Dimarzio imo, and sound almost like tim hensons sig in the neck. voicing. Crazy you got that one Outthe box. you made me so happy!
Just ordered this Guitar yesterday at my local GC. I go in there ALOT and know most of the staff. I traded in 2 guitars and one VERY VERY nice employee used her 20% discount card for me and i ended up only paying $220 out of pocket. I am stoked as this will be my first Prestige Ibanez guitar...
How are you finding that wide skinny neck?? I so wanted to keep this guitar but the neck just made my hand ache like crazy! I dunno though maybe it was just setup really crappy from the factory or something
@@Jaymze9370 I seem to like the radius more. For me, the 16 inch and 17 are more comfortable. Maybe its due to my small hands, but i have no clue lol i just know for me its more comfortable and ya cant beat a satin neck. The only thing i would change is the Fret board. I have a Schecter Synister Gates model with an Ebony board. I wish the Ibanez had that same board. I just like them more for some reason.
Jimmy C I also recently got an Ibanez premium JEM. The u70 I think it’s called. They discontinued it sea foam green. The neck K on that is awesome. Radius is 15.75 I think. Very comfortable. Ya really cont go wrong with Ibanez period IMO.
Oh man dig the riffs AND the guitar!! Question. I am looking at this model as well. Possibly pulling the trigger. I know that their Prestige guitars are known for quality. And having amazing fret work. How is the SS fret work on this guitar compared to their other nickel models? Thanks man!
I've played this model and the neon green seven string prestige model at a local guitar shop, and the fretwork is simply impeccable. I thought the fretwork was even better than a USA made Jackson Soloist I tried out as well. You're definitely getting your money's worth with a Japanese made Ibanez!
I tried one at local guitar store. Fret ends were great but 3rd, 9th and several at the higher register were high/low. I contacted another shop. The tech tested with a fret rocker. 13th and some of the high register frets were uneven. He's going to do a level and crown job for before they ship out. Everything else about these models is superb.
Hi just wondering what's your thoughts on it now? I'm considering one. Ive never tried Fishman pick ups in person and is my only hesitation from buying
@@mikemitchell7529 Depends what you're after really. At the time I was playing pretty much exclusively metal and some ambient stuff, which the Fishmans truly excel at. For most other stuff I find them to sound slightly dull
I just got mine in new from Sweetwater yesterday. Threw a .66 on the low E and put in A. Running it through my new d-moll and revv 2x12. Massive tones.
Beautiful video and amazing playing. Thank you. I read that you prefer the Ibanez RGR652 to this one for the reverse headstock, color and pickups. I thought the Fishmans in this guitar were supposed to be better than the DiMarzio Fusion Edges, reading opinions on forums and websites. So... do you think that is not the case? Thank you!
@@MattyPeq I actually ended up buying the 5121 over the 652 and I'm very happy I did. The Fishman pickups are very tight and aggressive. Perfect for getting modern metal tones.
@@karlfranz7434 I sure am. It's got a beautiful finish, it's super comfortable to play (perfect for shredding) and most of all it sounds great (whether clean or distorted). Highly recommend!
Really cool guitar! I am curious about the bridge... I mostly play in B standard with 11-56 strings, how easy was to setup the bridge and does it keep a stable tuning?
I actually ordered this one and should be arriving on Wednesday. I wanted a hard tail since i rarely use a trem. If i really like it, i will eventually get the versian with a trem also.
I have an RGR652BG, and it's a perfect guitar. If not having stainless steel or luminlay sidedots isn't a deal-breaker for you, then it's all about whether you want Fishmans or Dimarzios. Honestly, you can't go wrong with either route
@@Sergakasinets have u got any problems with the bridge or perhaps frets, intonation issues as you down tune it on that thick gauge? Lookin forward to your reply
Sergey Kasinec sounds killer! Doesn’t “feel spaghetti” the strings at all? I have my Jim Root strat dropA# and the strings buzz a lot, plus the spaghetti feel, lowest 62
Ibanez guitars have always targeted metal players, so when you see someone playing ibanez guitars they are more than likely a person that plays metal music... but if you were actual watch the video you’d know right after the beginning he plays it in a clean setting on all the pickup sections showing what else the pickups are capable of doing.
Comes with the brand dude. If youre looking at an RG, chances are you want deep palm mutes, fast neck, screaming open strums, and clear lead through distortion, but can also acquire single coil tones for blues or southern rock. If you didnt hear everything you needed to from this demo, then the RG probably isnt for you bro.

Diggint it, man! Cool composition and tone!
I think you just sold me on this. SO many different voicings with the toggle switch. So fucking cool.
thanks for testing the the pickups with a clean sound.
getting Emmure feel from the tones / tuning. sick.
finally a reviewer who does that what that thing is built for.
Is there a full version of this song somewhere? Super catchy
Wow...Awesome play & awesome guitar....👍👍👍👍🤘👍👍👍👍
Awesome guitar and killer licks man

@@jamiekeeling4617 Hey thanks for the reply. Sounds good I'll be using it for Drop C high gain tones. I'm getting one into a store to try out.
@@mikemitchell7529 No worries my friend, I'm sure you'll enjoy it for that
very cool. subbed
Dude this sounds sooo good.
I want Ibanez to make a 7 string version of this with an evertune so much!
that's a beautiful guitar
Man I have to have one of those. That thing really sounds good. like the color also.
Awesome review! 🤘
Made in Japan.
Outstanding craftsmanship.
I love it
Sounds sick 👌
Damn what tune are you in? That sounds so low and heavy
Amazing!
Nice video. How does the neck feel? I have quite large hands, i am afraid it is to slim!

@@chiefsmackahoe777 are you still happy with 5121? Do you recommend it?

@@chiefsmackahoe777 thanks for the quick reply mate. which colour did you get? Dark blue or burgundy? And how much did you pay for it?
What impulse response did you use in Mercuriall's SS11x?
Sick 👽
I own one top notch the whole way
wish they configured this to have coil split as well like the premium S series with the fishmans =(
Do you do all of your mixing ?
1:05 what's that from? It sounds so familiar
фантастика!!
Would you recommend an Alnico & Ceramic combo over the 2x Ceramic in the RG5121?
How are these pickups clean? Like clean strat sounds
So what is your final thought of those pickups?
all good in this guitar exept for the price
You get what you pay for! You get an amazing guitar 🎸
Worth every cent
Tasty as usual. Tuned low A.F.
Cant understand why they didn't make a 7 string version of this with a hard tail bridge. I mean who wants a floyd rose on a seven string ?
If this guitar had an Evertune I’d buy it right now
Is this guitar versityle?
What tuning is that in ??
Really cool guitar! I am curious about the bridge... I mostly play in B standard with 11-56 strings, how easy was to setup the bridge and does it keep a stable tuning?
seems Roots of Sepultura
What type of delay you use . And his many ml delay time
Bella
Nice demo. Any thoughts on how this compares to the RGR652? I'm considering getting the this instead
I actually ordered this one and should be arriving on Wednesday. I wanted a hard tail since i rarely use a trem. If i really like it, i will eventually get the versian with a trem also.
@@Sergakasinets Interesting. Any specific reason?
I have an RGR652BG, and it's a perfect guitar. If not having stainless steel or luminlay sidedots isn't a deal-breaker for you, then it's all about whether you want Fishmans or Dimarzios. Honestly, you can't go wrong with either route
Awsome,
Tuning and string gauge?
@@Sergakasinets have u got any problems with the bridge or perhaps frets, intonation issues as you down tune it on that thick gauge? Lookin forward to your reply
@@Sergakasinets all right then, thank you.
Is that Ebony fretboard?
Yes!
Sounds amazing!! Awesome playing. What’s the tuning there?
Sergey Kasinec sounds killer! Doesn’t “feel spaghetti” the strings at all? I have my Jim Root strat dropA# and the strings buzz a lot, plus the spaghetti feel, lowest 62
This model on a 7 string would be godlike
Rg5227. Not the same aesthetically, but definitely in the same ballpark
Tuning and string gauge?
For real
На клине нижние струны малость бубнят? ( Похоже на старые струны, но это, видимо, особенности болченой краснухи, если мне не показалось).
hey, what is the first riff?
Hey! That's mine Riff! ))))
@@Sergakasinets damn, you nailed it😱
I really can’t hear too much difference between the two voicings. Could someone point out what difference I should be listening for please? Thanks
it's difficult from yt , but v1 is active more mids high mids treble , v2 is passive more low mids and bass basically
banana banana banana
It djents
Мензура обычная ?
yes
Good playing but the tone is very thin and processed sounding
Where is your ears dude?
I don't understand why people always play metal when I watch a video of an ibanez guitar. You can play many different genres.
Yes! You are absolutely right! But i love Rock/Metal it's fun!
