Thank you for being the first to review that beauty ❤
Thee Obeast One you’re very welcome! I fell in love with this beauty immediately so I had to get a video out for everybody to see it
@@DanMcCourt I ordered mine from my local guitar store, my friend owns it and he's holding it on for me, already made a deposit so now I gotta save up lol. This review made me more excited to get mine.
Thee Obeast One I’m so happy for you! Trust me it’s totally worth it. I’ve never bought a guitar so perfect before. It’s just beautiful. And it sounds even better. When I ordered mine it was on back order so I was really getting anxious haha
Killer review. I love this guitar! That outro was kickass.
Thanks! I really appreciate that!
Just ordered this beauty! I can't wait. My previous guitar was a squier so I'm really excited to notice the quality differences.
Oh you’ll notice massive differences right away! Let me know how it goes. 🤘🏻
That's like going from a Corolla to a Lambo lol, you're gonna love it
Update: I ended up hating the floating bridge and never play it anymore :(
@@kubaswiatek7185 Damn, that's a shame, you could trade it for a string through model like a Schecter maybe?
@@stephenpayne6956 The trade in price that shops tried to give me was way too low so I'll try to sell privately
Got it today. Awesome instrument
Hey i just got mine too but aparently we cant use high gauge strings with it cuz the bridge would lift up. What is your experience with it so far?
@@rawiwawi1054 you can put extra heavy springs on in the back or screw the screw further in to use heavier strings
Awesome video, thanks for the great demonstration of the guitar - love the riffs you play
Thanks brother! I really appreciate that 🤘🏻
Did you make up what you played around 5:20? It sounds amazing
Yes I did, it’s actually one the songs I wrote for my band!
Awesome guitar with fantastic tone!!
Thank you! I love the tone this guitar produces
I adore your tone
Melvin Bertilsson thanks! I really appreciate that!
Great Demo Dan, thanks for sharing! What’s the name of that first arpeggiated song you did half-way thru the video on the sound demo? Sounds Awesome! All the Best!
It's a song I wrote for my band! Thanks!
sorry if I missed it somewhere, but, what's the tuning and string gauges?
Saw this beauty months ago while surfing on the ibanez website (I would like to precise I have no money, for now I just look at guitars). I immediately fell in love, but there were no video about it on TH-cam. And today I watched your video. Thank you for that, I definitely will buy it some day.
And by the way, awesome playing. Did you use any reverb on the clean part?
Hey brother! Glad you enjoyed the video! I did in fact use a little bit of reverb for the clean parts. I believe there was a little bit of everything involved in the clean tone.
wow man love the way you play! i really love the sound of ibanez guitars. I really want to play melodic riffs not so much metal, maybe a little bit. is there any ibanez models which are better for riffs like you're playing at 5:20 ?
These are discontinued now and hard to find, expensive on Reverb, but I just pulled the trigger on the only used one across all of Guitar Center-dom. Wish me luck! The condition was listed as "Great". I had been going back and forth on it but watching this video I knew I would regret not getting it. Seeing the color shift clinched it
Que buen review, la neta excelente info, ahora quiero una!!!!!
Excellent video, do you recomen this ibanez or the schecter C1-FR S apocalypse? Thank you
I definitely recommend this guitar!
I just ordered this guitar.
(that's why i googled it and am here:).
I wonder how playability works against Jackson U.S.A guitars (3000$) &
ESP (Pink Sawtooth 5000$).
Ibanez finishing on this one looks amazing & Sustainiac is a killer.
I was looking Schecter models at first, but found this one and DiMarzio + Sustainiac with this finish + Edge Tremolo locked up the deal.
Schecter was offering those FR Specials a bit too much and i know them weaknesses too well.
Thanks for the great video.
Rock Rock 👌😎🎸
Absolutely! Yea it’s truly an amazing combo. The DiMarzio pick ups alone make this guitar worth it!
@@DanMcCourt I just got the guitar and man, i love this piece of art. Wow.
Yeah, DiMarzio as well sounds crystal clear like expected 🤩
@@JonsterMonster right?!? Those pickups are beautiful sounding
@@JonsterMonster I'm sold, this will definitely be my next axe
Just ordered! Awaiting my Piece/Peace
Would this guitar be a good hard rock ‘ classic rock guitar?
Yes!
Awesome guitar
Thanks!
Dude this is probably my next guitar, I want one with a sustainiac because I'm not to found of the ebow. Plus purple is my favorite color 💜 I have a purple charvel San dimas and white is my other favorite color I've got an American standard strat Olympic white and a jackson demilition fury ex style , my Ibanez is the rgdt621 I think it's the blue lagoon poplar one with DiMarzio pickups and a neckthrough all only for 650 which is crazy wow what a great guitar shit I probably grab my Ibanez the most lol I kinda wish it had the tremolo now though which I was thinking about getting that wtf it's called a jef idk it's like a crazy electronic whammy bar that u can hook up to like any guitar like a hardtail. I was gonna get the shredder svss with the sustainiac a couple of times but I'm seriously loving this one.
does all the rg60als guitars have sustainiac, cause theres 3 guitars in the series,no?
Great demo!
What pedal did you use or combination of it sound great on 12:00. I play more on melodic and trying to get what's the best pedals out there. Thanks.
Man, that’s a killer guitar....The sustainiac is like the cherry on top for me. One question though: you seem to have it in a lower tuning, but your Trem still seems so flexible? I suppose you had to use 4 Springs? I always play in D Standart, but my Floyd bridges get sooo stiff with the added spring 😂🙈🙈
Honestly the trem in any guitar is fidgety. You really have to experiment and play with each method. Sometimes just tightening the screw holding the springs makes a huge difference. Sometimes adding or subtracting springs needs to happen. It just depends on what works for you and your situation. I honestly can’t remember at the moment how I have mine set up but I’m pretty sure there’s 4 springs in it. But I’ve had mine set up multiple different ways. Just find what works best for you. Hope this helps!
@@DanMcCourt thank you! I guess that means I’m about to bust out the screw drivers again 😄 i kinda want the best of both worlds: thicker strings and a flexible trem, but I guess that’s not always gonna work, eh? ;) anyways, loved your review and will check out more of your Channel! :)
@@lilyann538 hey so I just checked, my guitar has 4 springs loaded into it. I’ve also got a 10-52 gauge strings on it for my dropped tuning. So I got some thick strings and 4 springs and I’m still able to have it bend very easily. So I would just play around with it and see what you can make work. Good luck! Thanks for watching!
@@lilyann538 hey this is an amazing guitar! I've had mine for about a month and also use drop c running with 10-52 Guage and I'm only running 3 springs with no issues. The bridge is flush but I did have to do a truss rod adjustment but all works flawlessy!
@@mlew14 thanks mark! I guess the ibanez bridges seem to be generally a bit more "flexible" then the original Floyd rose, at least that's what I've heard from some people now. I'll definitely have to check this one out in a guitar store, if it's back in stock 🤘🤘🤘
I am not totally sure if getting this guitar is going to make me fail No Nut November or if it will save me from failing it.
Lmao that’s the funniest shit ever haha 😆 but absolutely true man. Honestly I busted a nut when I first got this. But it since I’m too busy playing this thing I’m busting less nuts 😂 buy before November. Play during November. You may be good 😂
@@DanMcCourt Noted.
@@DanMcCourt Update: since I failed NNN, I decided to purchase one for myself. It should arrive 2-3 days from now.
@@hk-4738 Ha ha hell yeah good for you man you’ll enjoy it 🤘🏻
are you on spotify or soundcloud? I would love to listen to your music!!
Currently working on it!
Hello Dan!
I'm a new endorsed artist in France for Ibanez, and I just saw your video last night. I have the impression your guitar is a killer one isn't it?
Absolutely! I love this guitar. The tone is insane and I just love the way it feels to play. I don’t think I’ve ever had a guitar that felt so right in the 18 years that I’ve been playing. Congrats on the endorsement! I would love to be endorsed by Ibanez someday. Keep rocking brother 🤘🏻
@@DanMcCourt Thanx for your explanation Dan! ;-)
The clean parts of the demo were pure soundgasm, especially 5:30-5:56. Does that riff come from a song, or are they improvised? I've listened to the tracks your band _Archenaut_ have released, but it wasn't anywhere to be found there.
Yes those riffs come from my band Archenaut. We don’t currently have any recordings of that song but we are currently recording our album which will include that song. Pretty much everything else you here was either improvised or material from my solo project.
@@DanMcCourt Hot.
@@DanMcCourt Tabs?
@@hk-4738 not yet but once the album comes out tabs will be released as well!
@@DanMcCourt Cool. I'll keep an eye on yer Facebook page. Cheers.
How the neck feels? I have a js1000 with a fat neck i suppose 😀
The neck is perfect for my hands. I always turn to Ibanez specifically for their necks because they just always feel perfect for my hands
Hey I never comment on videos, I’d like your opinion on this. I’ve never had an Ibanez guitar and unfortunately where I’m from they don’t bring them, so I’m going to order one online. Since this is going to be a big purchase I’d like your input, should I get this guitar or the Ibanez genesis 550? I look forward to your reply! As mentioned I cannot try out either :(
Thank you!
Hey brother! Thanks for the comment and questions. Honestly if you’re going to spend a lot on a guitar anyway, I’d say go with this guitar. You get what you pay for and this guitar is perfect in every way. The pick ups alone make the price worth it. I’ve owned about 20 guitars and all those guitars had something I could complain about but this RG60ALS is the only guitar that I don’t have a single complaint about. The color is beautiful and the neck is smooth. The tremolo bridge is amazing too which surprised me. So without trying to sound biased, get this guitar haha.
@@DanMcCourt thank you so much for your quick reply! I’ll order it now, hopefully it will come in one piece.
@@yousefalj8687 no problem! Let me know what you think!
Hi!. I have the Ibanez RG550. I would say.. Go for the RG60. In terms of specs they are best by far.
What's the neck on that? 17 or 15 something?
Very nice video and review. I wanted to ask if this is made in Japan. I’ve seen some prestige of the same price and even highly that is made in Indonesia. Thanks in advance
Hey! Great question! I actually had to check for myself because I wasn’t 100% sure and to even my surprise it’s actually made in Indonesia. With its high quality I would have thought it was made in Japan but as you said, every once in a while a high quality piece of art like this one will come out of Indonesia. 🤘🏻
Still it’s a high quality guitar. It Really sounds great
@@lynoj777 thank you! I absolutely agree!
What if the sustainiac battery dies? Is the sustainiac battery rechargeable?
It’s a 9V battery. Cheap and easy to replace.
battery 9v or battery 9v rechargeable
@@venomjoe regular 9V. If you can find a rechargeable 9V batter then by all means put it in there
i don't see prices for these anywhere, where did you buy yours at and for how much.
I bought mine off Zzounds. I believe it was around $1500
Does it really have the high pass filter activated through master volume? That is a plus feature for me.
Sulat Elektroniko not that I’m aware of, the only known pot knob for this guitar is the tone pot which basically just activates the sustainiac pick up.
Dan McCourt Thanks for your reply. I'm pretty sure it was showing having high pass filter in ibanez website before. After your reply I went back to see the website again and it's corrected without it now. Can't decide between this model or Ibanez js240ps. Both models have sustainer system but I like to have that high pass filter as well as I play with the volume a lot during solo... Great demo by the way.
Sulat Elektroniko thank you! Honestly that’s a tough choice between those two guitars. I’ve never played the JS240PS but that looks like a very beautiful guitar. Plus it’s a Satriani signature so that’s gotta count for something. All I can say is that the Ibanez RG60ALS is a very beautiful sounding guitar especially for solos. It’s definitely taken my recordings to a whole new level as you can tell by this video. So very hard choice indeed. Thanks for watching!
Bought it the day after watching your video. Had it for a few days by now. You seem to have yours tuned in drop C (at least for the clean part). Do you recommend putting heavier strings on it for that kind of low tuning, or will a bridge/neck adjustment do?
Any time you do drop tunings I would recommend always putting thicker strings on to compensate for the loose tension. The only exception is if you have a guitar with an extended scale length on it. But even then in some cases thicker strings are still desired.
@@DanMcCourt Noted. Thanks, man.
@@hk-4738 no problem! 🤘🏻
how much was this? I found one on guitar center used for $1100. not sure if its a good price
that's actually not bad at all. I got mine new for about $1500
Very beautiful and
How good would this guitar be for death metal?
I used it for death metal all the time so I’d say it’s pretty damn good for that 🤘🏻
@@DanMcCourt Got any songs I can hear?
@@koltonramsey unfortunately not yet, my band Archenaut is currently recording our album and I’ll be using this guitar for it, once that’s done then I’ll have material to show you
@@DanMcCourt Well sir.. I bit the bullet and I bought the guitar. I'm nowhere near good enough to justify such a purchase, but none the less.. Why the hell not? LOL Maybe this will inspire me to play more.
@@koltonramsey hell yea, well then you have a really badass guitar nonetheless. This guitar will probably help your playability anyway due to the excellent hardware. Let me know how everything goes and your progress!
Hey man, most of the people compare this with Prestige. They said the tone is not good enough as compared to prestige.
What is you experience with this guitar, since this video was uploaded 7 months ago?
Hey man, personally this guitar definitely lives up to the prestige. I’m not sure why anybody would say that unless it was a sales pitch. Personally the tone coming from this guitar is insanely good. I’ve been using it a lot on my recordings and I gotta tell you, it’s definitely taken the quality of my tone to a whole new level. You can never go wrong with some solid DiMarzio pickups 🤘🏻
@@DanMcCourt what about Djent?☠
@@this_ciykeia I personally don’t play djent, however if you put the correct string gauge on this guitar I’m sure it’ll more than sound killer for djent
Cool
Thanks man!
Do u recommend it for beginners?
Its way too expensive for a beginner lol, an Ibanez Gio or a Squire should be a great starting point.
Exactly what Jack said, this guitar is way too expensive for a beginner. This guitar was over $1500. I’d recommend finding any guitar around $200-$400 to start with
@@jackinab0x600 my parents r paying so ..Lol but thanks anyway
Clapton said get the best, most expensive guitar you can afford...because if you stick with it you'll end up upgrading time after time.
Sustainiac definitely not new. I had it in a guitar in early 90s.
What amp you use for this baby!
I used amp sims from EZMix2. Metal Gods packages
@@DanMcCourt never heard of those
@@TheExxl they are plugins for a DAW
@@DanMcCourt oh sick i wanna try it too through pc what box is best to hook up
@@TheExxl what I use is a D/I box, into my behringer interface. Just to get a clean signal. Then use amp sims on the pc to get my distortion.
this is my favourite guitar but a dont have a lot of money /:
Dude! Go to ZZounds.com
They will let you finance it, that’s how I got it.
@@DanMcCourt what you mean??
@@juanocybe if you’re having a hard time affording a guitar like this, you can do payment plans through website www.zzounds.com
Tommas : if u are looking for same features w/ the cheaper price.. Get Schecter Sun Valley sustaniac.. Same indo made & has sustaniac pickup.. It costs only around $600.. Just sayin'
@@UberDistortion you get what you pay for. Ibanez > Schecter every single time
honestly, stay on tune before you played with tremolo in video?
I’m sorry what? I’m not hearing a question? What did you mean?
@@DanMcCourt sorry, my english is not good xd, I ask for estability of Tremolo.
@@venomjoe oh you mean, does it stay in tune when I use the tremolo? It definitely does. The tremolo is very sturdy and holds the tuning very well.
@@DanMcCourt I belive you... In june I try to buy this beautiful ibanez
I have lot time find a Ibanez with sustainiac... and pretty and no expensive.
Name of song please 😍
all my own writing. I dont have names for them yet
@@DanMcCourt thank you , Amazing melodie
@@karenhasbum5223 thank you!
Lovely Is it A China Doll? Indonesia Baby? or Made In Japan???
I believe it’s made in Indonesia, but I’ll have to double check
Yes I Think it is Indonesia? That's what Sweetwater said. Check it out your self. Yes it Sounds Great! What Amp are you using for this Vid? By the way Great tune! Thank you for the reply! Rock on!
@8:49 are you serious? That's like cheating at guitar. Wow lol.
Lmao 🤣 idk if cheating is the word but it definitely makes things way too easy haha
