Please do an Ibanez blindfold challenge. Gio vs. Standard vs. Iron Label vs. Premium vs. Prestige vs. J Custom. Pretty please! :D
Yes
Yes
Easy! Fret polishing and crowning. Build and feel.
Oh Heavens Yes ! ! !
That'd be Amazeballs !
Or how about S series Vs Rg series same price range !?! Nah, thats silly 😜
Gio lol.
Why Van Halens Frankenstein was a copy of some1 elses guitar.
1/6/2023:
(Written earlier)
Building 2nd Gen Frankenstrat.
Dont have much money. I must nail thdesign 1st take.
Learned2read thscrypts Satans avatars in our matrix starting 1984.
Entire matrix pretty much revolves around me. (Anymore, increasingly)
Why?
I function as Lucifers REPLACEMENT& Yahweh taught me how2burn Satans dimension (computer program) with quartz crystals so I MUST be hidden from public view. Thus Satan decieves people with avatars (Plasticines)
Worlds best guitar was my signature design& Van Halen/Floyd Rose built it named FRANKENSTRAT.
Satan name it that = Ed was a fabricated entity. Its code.
What i found out was Ed was (victim2) a computer program Satan used 2whitewash me.
(doesnt mean Ed was evil initially)
Ed was a human @1st. Apparently he was eventually killed &cloned.
His late models cmpletely went 2rubbish bcuz when I sold my guitar 1988 Satan began sweeping Ed under thrug&didnt need him anymore.
Frankenstrat:
Had widest/flattest fretboard in thworld.
THAT was thsecret 2why Ed could play so good.
100's of 1,000's peeps researched Franky they@ Ed all miss thpoint 2what made it so good. (super wide flat neck.)
ENTIRE guitar built by me? is going 2b ridiculously good.
Necks RADIUSED by Satan 2cripple guitarists vs FLAT/WIDE fretboard both a dream2work on easiest2play. Fingrs dont bumping in 2each other.
ACTION (strings) can be lowered much more.
(High action = HELL 2play.)
Lol I figure out most all this stuff off thbat just fondling my Aria Pro2 ZZ Custom day I bought it. I am just that good.
Note Ed built copy my ZZ called thSHARK. Again code. Eds job was 2say "that was a failed experiment."
Lucifer saw in2 time knew I'd become famous with ZZ 1993 &I was supposed 2look like a Van Halen wannabee.
(I also invented "Zero nut")
World fastest guitarist plays? My neck ofcourse. WITH Zero nut. (Shawn Lane.)
Atkins, Les Paul, Hendrix, Steve Vai = widest flat necks.
Lucifer switched from Ed to Steve Vai& Michael Angelo Batio as my avatar whitewash guitar messiahs.
Satan knew I would build a guitar now. b4 I did. So, Batio built it recently closest 2my specs. Satan had him paint it 2look like sh*t 2make me look bad lol. (Photo)
I just figured I could build 1myself much MUCH better &same price (Lucifer lowered thprice from $850 2$500 trying get me 2buy it AS i was clicking on it lol.)
I suppose up untill now he thought i didnt know about his avatars. Well I do.
Batio is code for Bat Sergio.
Mike knows all about me& all of this avatar sht bcuz I told him ling time ago.
His Primal Red (pictured) jas a 43mm wide nut. Widest neck in thworld that also HAS my signature Floyd Rose Tremelo.
th-cam.com/video/hb5QaCfm7bg/w-d-xo.html
People never did figure out what made th Frank so good. It had a 44m plus nut at the tuners. &it had a 17" radius. That is why was so easy 2play.
(Q7 radius means was vry FLAT)
Ed liked wide necks thwn. But later started making tiny narrow necks cuz he said ("its easier to play")
That second comment was likely made after "he" was killed &cloned.
I have that skinny neck guitar.
Its a BITCH 2try 2play.
This was threal Ed speaking on how he built thguitar here:
Note Satan made sure Ed would constantly try hide what made thFrank good. Les, Batio, Ed, Lane, Vai, none of them give u thTrue keys 2 thFerrari. It was the wide 17" radius necks lolmost.
This 2ndGen Frank I am building as of 1/6/2023 is going 2b cmplete revamp not jus Flod&neck. Gonna list it on ebay see if any1 bleevs my story. If not Satans plan wrked.
Not 1person ever had a fading clue the whole point of th Floyd Rose. Neither did Floyd. I made it that way so i could loosen broken strings &clamp them back in 2save money lol.

Everyone who works on this channel does an amazing job. Thoroughly entertaining as always :)
Damian Kilsby details like the cup going poof at 1:53 are the little things that make this channel so great!
I finally figured out what the deal is with Captain and Chappers. Its basically Top Gear for guitars; Lots of expensive hyperguitars and loveable cocking about, with very occasional sensible buyers advice.
Nailed it.
nice way to put it 😀
Wow. Your the first to come up with that 🙄
I just started learning guitar about two weeks ago and have already sat through over 10 of Rob's videos without understanding anything these guys talk about. But im fucking lovin it.
Fernando Marturet keep it up friend. i just started teaching my 65 year old father about two weeks ago. if me and him can do it, anyone can! have fun on your journey!
Welcome to the wonderful world of guitar dude! you'll get the hang of everything they are talking about soon enough, good luck with your playing man!
Haha this was exactly me in 2014 when I first started seriously on guitar and discovered Rob's channel, had no fucking clue what they were talking about then but it was hilarious
I've played a J.Custom before and they are phenomenal guitars... They are one of those guitars that feel like they are playing themselves.
Dude the Captain is turning into a really great rhythm guitarist. I love his riffing.
FEARS so do I
That’s my dream. To be a “good” let alone a great rhythm player
i have an rg prestige with the same pick ups, at half the price and plays like a dream. Live by Ibanez.
I recently traded my Squier Strat for a 1989 Ibanez EX350 and I absolutely love the Ibanez!
you forgot add in the wha :p
Oh no I already had a Dunlop CryBaby before I traded my Squier lol
I love you Kirk
You'll no doubt trade in that Ibanez for a Chapman ML-1 Pro Traditional @ $899 as soon as you're able to save up enough money.
Astiagogo I prefer PRS guitars and Chapman guitars next, simply because of their incredible performance characteristics and their extreme good looks. I've never consider Ibanez a front runner in either area.
That Hughes and Kettner sounds amazing. Never knew what kind of crushing tones those things could pump out.
Finally something that's not a Gibson or a Fender..
TheSpineSplitter1990
If interested, they did a Gretsch review a couple weeks ago.
Paul Isaacs They've done Schecter and PRS as well
It's just good to see them finally switch it up that's all.
TheSpineSplitter1990
It's all good. 😊
Let's not forget Reverend, Esp, Chapman and Wylde guitars. I'm sure there are still we haven't mentioned yet. They do review quite a few different manufacturer's. If they review more Fenders and Gibsons because they sell more Fenders and Gibsons, it's more than understandable.
I've watched this a thousand times and always in awe by the epic tones these j customs produce
Rob played a clean tone in this video. unsubbed and reported
Tristan Radeka ha ha ha!!!
12:27 that riff right there was somethin special. Chappers making that j custom look mighty fine.
Rob seems to have stepped up the variety in his playing as of late, very refreshing!
The captain doesnt wants to accept it, but he has been hearing some metal and its liking it; hes starting to shred
lol Lee, that was the saddest dive bomb ever. It sounded like a tiny man jumping off a bridge :D
That clean Lee rhythm with Rob playing a soothing solo, ah man, stuff of dreams.
Cap'n 's gone metal!
yeah he definitely has that Mick Mars vibe goin' on .. those riffs were killleeerrrrrrrr man.
I daresay I heard him shred, just for a few moments. Unreal.
This too.
*mental
About 5 years ago I had chapter when I serviced many Ibanez Prestige guitars and was pleasantly surprised about the quality of craftsmanship. Since then I've been using Ibby Prestiges as my main tools on the road and in studio and I've another one on the way that should arrive next month. I can even see a J.Custom in my future!
Ibanez truly does make seriously quality and precise guitars. I'd argue that there isn't much of a point for paying that much though. Their mid-range guitars are incredible for your dollar.
These are impressive guitars, and I applaud Ibanez for delivering quality here.
But I miss the old Roadstars and the Iceman. - Not to be all snobby with "older is better", because I'm not like that.
It's just that they had some great models in the past that they've just thrown out. - I mean, even the Iceman??... I know that the RG-type is more their basic flagship, and something like the Iceman is less conventional and maybe not as "accessible", but with the Iceman they had something really unique, like Gibson has the Les Paul, Fender has the Stratocaster, Dean has the ML or whatever... But an RG/JEM type of guitar is basically just a "superstrat"... It's fine if they make them good instruments, but they should have more respect for their own Iceman, and be proud of it. - It seems that they've completely discontinued it, because I can't find it on their website. - In fact, I can't find any of their more "offset" or "extreme" models, which they all used to throw under the "X series" I believe. I guess they were just "the rest" and now they've been outcast... Sad.
Honestly Rob....that little 'clean piece' was beautiful. The shred is great but that really sung and shows more versatility for you. Two thumbs up.
I bought one of these here guitars thinking I'd become some kind of got dang prodigy, but I still can't even play the intro to thunderstruck without dislocating my finger.
why are you on every video
Hank Hill that must cause you some serious propane I mean pain
They're good videos, Fahad.
not overrated
Hank Hill if you didn't read this in Hank's voice then step on a lego
I'd be pretty psyched about a fixed bridge version. Nice looking guitars.
1:52 Standard -> Premium -> Prestige -> J-custom
not Prestige then Premium ;)
But before all of that was the 88-89 RG750. Its a Prestige before Prestige was a thing. And I have one :)
@@victorramsey5575 I will see if I beat that in a few days, but I think so. I just got a '92 Starfield Altair sj custom - solid swamp ash in transparent moss/emerald green with wicked figuring front/back and wilkins trem system and no locking nut, just the way I like it. Bridge pickup already upgraded to DMZ single slot humbucker hot rails. If it plays and sounds like I think it will...well, it's basically a j custom before j custom was a thing. Thank you Hoshino for wanting to try to compete with PRS...and letting me score this for a ridiculous price and I probably could have paid less. Has the AANJ and everything...I can't even look at a guitar with a heel plate anymore...seems...inelegant and uncomfortable...
Wednesday. Wednesday we'll find out. But congrats on your RG750 - and I can confirm, the Starfield serial numbers absolutely track standard Ibanez numbering conventions because they're not Ibanez's, they're Fujigen's and both of my '99 AX7521 (yeah, I have two - the cherry fudge and gray pewter both) have not only the same numbering scheme but literally the same paint color they used on all of them to paint and seal the serial numbers under the clear coat.
man i m so fucking excited expecially with lockdown. my neighbors are going to HATE this when it gets here but good luck doing shit but throwing hard looks over the fence, at whic point I'll fire up another bowl and turn it up to 12.
Wasn't mentioned in the video but these guitars also come with strap locks and a pretty nifty tool kit
I bought a UV77 Sugi Verse that never goes out of tune. The 30th Ann RG J Custom is also flipping adorable, and that's the one I would get. Great guitars.
I bought a Jem last year and some of my friends thought you Could only shred on that guitar. I proved the Wrong! These guitars are pretty versatile. I'm sure these baby's can get funky
DONNIE Sowell. How much did it cost you and which model?
fazeel ashraf. I got it for 1000. The guy needed cash fast
sorry V7
DONNIE Sowell Jems are the most versatile.guitars I have ever used. people forget that Vai uses as many clean tones as dirty so he needs his instruments to cover many bases.
I never take the V7 out of the house but my Jr I upgraded with evolution pickups is my main guitar it does a good job. Tone not as brite but still good.
Paul gilbert left an heavy impression on Rob's playing. It's so damn evident. Great going rob.
I got a used 2014 Jem7V wh and I bought a new Jem Jr. Jen Jr plays really well and sounds good. The 7V is Awesome
Precision billimeter. Will be using that from now on!
The shred gods are pleased... especially with the Capt.
The subtle humor involved here concerning Ibanez guitars is huge....great job guys...
6:30 What was that? Lee, you're a real shredder now, dude! :O
Love them or hate em , Ibanez has the best lineup across all platforms and all price ranges. They have something for almost anyone. Incredible company.
Is it me or is Lee getting really good at palm muting, "metal playing" and such?!?!
It's that Paul Gilbert lesson
The Captain is definitely not shredding like a freaking psycho but he has got so much feels in what he's doing ...he's bringing goosebumps on my fucking arms - totally awesome
By far the best brand of guitars.
Great price and amazing playability
Captain at 6:30 with that bend and lick after that! Whhhaaa 😱😄
Noice!!
Going back three years I acquired a J-Custom guitar with a 'rice-paper' finish. The guitar itself was beyond perfect... but I couldn't cope with the oriental rice-paper design, and I sold it. I really wish I hadn't. The Fuji-Gen J-Customs are the best of the best. Totally agree with Chappers comment about the J-Customs being for those who are looking for the best Ibanez without a name attached to it.
I have the exact one the captain is playing absolutely amazing guitar!
sounds great through the Hughes and Kettner.
6:31 didn't expect that from Lee, nice!:)
WOW!!! Didn't know Ibanez made such a High-End guitar sounds great. You two guys playing ability gave Ibanez justice♪♫♪
There's something about MIJ Ibbys that are so good, they sound good, feel good, sturdy, and affordable. I love Ibby's and I'll play them forever!
The original Edge and Edge pro bridges were the best bridges ever made. The tremolo bar had plastic clips you inserted into a groove and this meant there was absolutely no slack or disconnection when using the bar. With knife edges and new studs they warbled for a very long time showing the friction was as minimal as possible which is how you determine how well they stayed in tune for. All my Edge trems has been refurbished with new studs from Ibanez and when set up and locked down they are almost impossible to knock out of tune. What many players did was to adjust the string height without slackening the strings and removing two of the rear cavity springs before making the adjustment. I remove all the tension then pull back the trem to clear the knife edges from the studs to adjust the height for the action. Almost all owners of these type of bridges just used the allen key and adjusted the height without any consideration that you will instantly cause the knife edges to cut into the studs and then your guitar will never find its mid point ever again. My friend bought a Jem for £2200 and when he was getting ready to pay they offered to lower the action a little and he said yes OK. They come back just 2 mins later and I was shocked to suddenly realise they had just stuck an allen key in there and made the adjustment without removing all the tension from the strings and rear cavity springs and they are so called guitar techs.....? I wanted to yell at them and show them their wrongdoing however my friend was clueless and I didn't want to in anyway piss on his super happy day he had been saving up for for 2 yrs!!! If you have done the same then you have now just ruined the tuning stability of your before perfectly designed edge tremolo.
Replacing the studs is easy and they cost about £20 for a pair however the knife edges now have to be ground back and resharpened to the point where the damage had occurred. Just taking out the knife edges is a royal pain in the ass as you need a gas torch and a vice with heavy pliers to grip the and pull them sideways all the way out. I replace the studs as soon as tuning starts to be less than perfect also new knife edges can be over sharp as new so I use a flat file to just take off a little sharpness so they do not instantly cut into the studs. If you take off too much then you have overdone this but through trial an error I have got them just right and these trems stayed in tune for ten yrs without a hitch. I blame the companies for not warning customers about this as it is not intuitive for most people and I only worked this out because I used tool making machinery sometimes in my previous job working in plastics for 12 yrs. I don't know how good the new Edge trems are or the ball bearing design but the old Edge tremolos were absolutely perfect if you just added a little grease to the stud area that is in contact with the knife edges.
3:52 Rob with the licks of fire, hot damn
Captain, your playing is so good! Very big improvment since last 1-2 years
Rob really needs to lower his volume when Lee goes for a solo.
Land of Rock 'N' Roll I am not in control of the volume level that you hear...
In which case I apologize.
Land of Rock 'N' Roll or when either does a solo use a volume or boost pedal,
Land of Rock 'N' Roll they just don't gel together
Land of Rock 'N' Roll pussy. Way to back pedal
Holy shit, I just heard Capt. Lee shred some of the best licks ever at 6:30.
For some reason I really want Mick and Pete to explore these on Guitar Paradiso. I think they would have fun with them.
Ibanez doz what Fend'ont
MirageIV. haha like the old Sega commercial
Lol. Lame
Big Fudge it’s a reference
I'm old enough to have got that joke immediately lol
the capt was on the verge of shredding there at one point...unprecedented!
Sounds like Rob has gotten a little more sleep in this one. The shredding was on point.
10:20 Now that's what i like! more of this style please! i'm sick of just shredding metal leads, although you are great at them obviously :D
Unironically my favorite part of any of these videos is how anytime someone puts something down it explodes.
Ben Crowe at Crimson Guitars wants you to go on their Podcast to talk everything guitars Rob. Would be great to get you two together to chew the fat for an hour.. ;)
Chris Dalby yes, they did get in touch with me but I've not heard anything since...
I just left a message with Ben to get back to you Rob. :)
Nice one Anthony :D I left a few messages on various social media platforms so I hope they get it on. Will be buzzing for that podcast.
Respeck to the Masters at Fujigen
Digging the binding on that dark one. Surprised at the choice of Edge Zero trem. Wouldn't the Original Edge be the better choice?
Ibanez guitars are fun to play. Great vid. After owning a ton of guitars I've narrowed it down to only two. Telecaster and an Ibanez prestige.
Why do I love ibanez guitars so much...
I've never seen anyone do harmonics with one hand including Vai. Thanks for keeping me up for the next two weeks Chap.
HOLY SHIT LEE WAS PLAYING SOMETHING HEAVY IM SO USED TO WATCH8NG HIM PLAY BLUES AND SO ON
Rob, your playing is improving in every video.
The whole place shook when you guys slapped handsXD that was great
There was a year where Ibanez ships J.Custom in 3 version, one with SD, one with EMG, and one with DiMarzio. Probably the captain saw that year's version with Seymour Duncan PU.
Holy poop! Cap is getting a bit shreddy here! Keep making him play licks like that! He's getting reallllll gooder! Awesome.
I used to have a MIJ RG1550 and it makes me envious how well built these modern Ibanez guitars are. The RG1550 was a unstable, moody piece with a terrible trem system that was a pain to return to pitch. I sold it to a poor unsuspecting fellow and haven't missed it ever since.
Wow!! Way to go Rob, with the shout out to "BBE Sonic Maximizer" from the 80's!! yep... I had one.... and do you remember Paul Gilbert's tag line "Tone for days with my ADA's..." Man.... I moss the 80's!! Rock on............
I am from Iowa, smack in the middle of the USA. I find myself listening to these 2 and Dagan more for their reviews than I do the American people. No idea why. I love the women amatures on youtube showing their amazing skills. I see so much hope for the future of rock now!
The only things I'd change about the j.custom guitars is that they need luminlay side dots, an edge or lo pro edge trem, and locking tuners just to make string changes that much easier.
Captain is absolutely shredding in those jams
EMG has loads of pickups indeed. - Because of the internet in the last 15 years or so, they've been getting a bad reputation because a few started arguing about how they're "always the same" and "they sound bad because they compress" or whatever. - And I WILL agree that they're like the "Metal Zone" of pickups. - There are a lot of players in big bands that use them, which then made beginners reach for them as well, because they think that's what you need to get a massive "Metal" sound or something.
But EMGs sound great. - I've moved away from the active ones because I don't want to deal with the batteries and just wanted to get more experience with other ones. - But they also make X-versions of their active pickups, which are more dynamic, they also make passive ones, they make single-coils, they've even launched a range that's more "vintage".
I'm still not going to say the 81 or 85 is bad, or 60 for me, which I love, because they all sound very clear and strong and can still do softer tones (although they're very gain-y). - They definitely have properties that I would like to see in other pickups, because they're quite unique. - Maybe some people don't like those properties, but the majority who say they don't like them are likely following the herd.
Ibanez guitars are awesome, the raising from Rob reminds me a lot of Steve Vai and Joe Satriani, who are two of my favourite guitarists
Rob and Cap, that jam you guys did at the beginning of he vid sounded so iron maiden
Really enjoyable video as always.
Only criticism is the squiggly white instrument cable doesn't look the best on camera, but whatever, you guys rock!
Great intro and jamming in between the talk! I was expecting Rob Halford or Bruce Dickinson to suddenly appear with you guys.
Above all it's good to see the Anderton Mugs back in Spontaneous Combustion Mode. The whole way through the excellent Paul Gilbert video there was one sitting on the left table....dormant......I swear it was watching....waiting....
They have the Zero-point bars in place in the back of the cavity as well. Those being the bridge back to the point to which it started, which allows you to do those unison bends that don't cause the bridge to move; as Lee pointed out. The Zero-point bars are removable which will allow it to behave like a normal Floyd Rose bridge.
Can we please get a budget guitar lineup? I would love to see a video of every badass guitar in the store for under 500 bucks that you think is worth every penny! Please Please Please
I just want the fretboard
LOL
I still love my RG2550e, I upgraded it to liquifier neck puckup, virtual heavy blues 2 in the middle and the AT pickup in the bridge.
love seeing the captain shredding
YOURE A WIZARD CAPTAIN 🧙♂️ 🔥🔥🔥
If that black Ibanez had a smidge of flame pocking threw the body, it would be perfect!!!!
Luv the breaking coffee cups!!!! 👀
Chappers, would you ever consider doing a video on tips for singing and playing at the same time? It's something I wish so much that I could do but I just can't get the hand of it. I'm more of a lead guitarist, which I consider a handicap in that department, but obviously you play lead and sing in your band. I'm sure other people would like to see a video about that too.
Cheers!
5:02 I have a Prestige with the titanium KTS. It fucking rules. That is the slimmest most stable neck I have ever seen. Better than my Parker Fly.
8:28 The Edge Zero is actually a great bridge. A genius design. Only caveat, it is a little harder to depress the bar -I had to get in shape for it.
dude they need to bring back the sharktooth inlays the best inlays ever
All due respect to Chapman Guitars. I think Rob is more in the zone when he plays an Ibanez. Seems like his thing that he is most comfortable with.
At 10:18 Really beautiful playing of the guitars gentlemen, thank you.
precision to the billimeter- ibanez' new slogan
Great idea with the book opening angel choir, Rory! :)
Don't forget the jem777 flarow pattern piece of art 🎨
Great 'maidenesque' shredding guys. Luv it!
My new favorite TH-cam channel :)
i want to get the premium they are so amazing.
At 8:00, Rob compares the RG to a JEM. He's more right than he knows, there - historically, the RG started as kind of a budget version of a JEM, without a few of the crazy things Steve Vai wanted (the monkey-grip and the lion's claw routing) and with cheaper pickups.
Also, 9:14 that knob doesn't quite adjust the feel of the tremolo - it's basically an easier way to adjust the springs to compensate for if you use thicker strings or down-tune. Normally, if you change string gauges or drop-tune a Floyd Rose guitar, you have to take the backplate off and tighten/loosen the spring-holding claw with a screwdriver or the bridge won't be level.
I really wasnt expecting your mug to explode at 1:53
GODDAYUMN Lee does the most evil dive bomb ever 17:48
