Great review. I bought one of these in March of 2022. Saw it at my local music store and felt like it was just waiting for me. Fantastic guitar and great value for the money. The workmanship is absolutely flawless. I play mostly rhythm right now and it sounds awesome but I have to say the lead tones are stellar.
Thanks for the demo. Ordered this yesterday. I’ve got the same model in green with a floating bridge but wanted a fixed bridge so ordered this. Best guitars I’ve played in this price range.
I remember the demo-video you made with the blueish-green version of the same guitar, back then. You made me buy that guitar a year ago and I dont regret any penny/cent I spent on it - thanks! :D Guess nothing changed here, eh? Still superb quality from the manufacturers in Japan.
Paul can you give me some help. Im trying to decide between this guitar and an RG5121. I love the looks of the 652 but the stainless frets and fishmans are tempting on the 5121. Thanks
@@PaulGlover I ended up ordering this guitar today but I had to go with the Nebula Green Burst. I couldn't find the purple in stock anywhere . I like the purple a lot better but I was told by the store I ordered from that their estimated arrive date isn't until April 30, 2022.
@@300WINMAG360 I have the green and love it, do love the purple though dude. Yeah everything is on back order its a nightmare. Happy new guitar though man. 🤘🧟♂️🤘
@@PaulGlover Haven't seen any of those two in person haha. Was actually gonna get the nebu green but its not gonna be re-stocked soon. Only 1 piece left for the royal plum burst so I thought of just getting this one hehe
Evolution pickups for clean sounds or air norton and tone zone? I have a 421 I’m looking to upgrade but I only play clean sounds mostly. Thanks I’m advance for your help!
Just got the guitar... Compared to my ESP Horizon NT-2 it is not even impressive - except for the sound which is ok, but is nothing speciall compared to ESP.
Yep, I'd totally love more finish options for RGA's with trems, but unfortunately they're mostly hardtails. That purple burst axion label RGA was super sick, but unfortunately a hardtail.
@Senya Klimov ive been using lemon oil for 3 years and have had no negative effects at all. Lol i use daddario cleaner and lemon oil. Looks great, cleans great and as i said its been fine for years. 🤟🧟♂️🤟

Me too buddy I would love this guitar......hello gods of Ibanez 🙏 lol happy new guitar day dude..
@@PaulGlover Thanks bro.
I bought this a couple of months ago. Absolute JOY to play. Love it.
One of my favourite ibanez guitars ever made, happy new guitar dude 🤘🧟♂️🤘

Thats still my favourite Ibanez ever. Do think ill be getting one of these though. 🤟🧟♂️🤟
This is best looking new prestige model. I love it
Very nice! I always love your tone. Can you make a video of your go-to settings for a clean, Dirty, and lead/solo sounds? (And how you make them?)
Great video and guitar. It's on my list. Thanks.
As it should be, still my favourite Ibanez 🤘🧟🤘
Love it so much.
I love my RG652AHM and this one looks sweeeeet
3.45 really like the tone. i make as reference to dial. there a long delay and hall reverb right?
That's it dude 🤘🧟🤘
Really nice.😊
What pedals ,amp or multi effects used ,guitar sounds great ,looking at getting one nice demo.
Iam using the Laney IRT SLX head into a Laney 1x12. The effects are from the Line 6 HX Stomp and the awesome Laney secret path reverb 🤘🧟♂️🤘

The RG652 is my favourite ibanez ever made. It's just perfect. Let the wand chose you Harry lol 🤘🧟♂️🤘
@@PaulGlover Thanks for the reply but I have one last question. Is it true that the maple fretboards don't get the prestige fret end treatment??

Hey I just ordered today! Will be receiving by Friday or Saturday.
Lucky boy, enjoy and happy new guitar say buddy 🤘♥🤘
@@PaulGlover How does the purple looks in person? Is it too bright? They don’t have display on where I bought mine
@@fredrichvilaga9931 no man it's awesome just right. If you've seen the nebulae green one in person it's the same hue. 🤘🧟♂️🤘

Paul did you do a video on that cool looking Reb Beach style Premium?
Evolution pickups for clean sounds or air norton and tone zone? I have a 421 I’m looking to upgrade but I only play clean sounds mostly. Thanks I’m advance for your help!
I love a good clean and find the air norton to be epic. You might find the TZ too hot? I only ever use neck pickups for cleans ya see. 🤟🧟♂️🤟
Love that colour but i want the nebula green back.
Its going nowhere mate this is an additional colour. 🤟🧟♂️🤟
It is strange them not doing the 6 string version of this colour with a trem.
Nickel frets are a deal breaker
Another killer guitar,Ibanez get it solo right,sweet demo!
Thanks man.
Very nice axe m8
Are the frets on this model S/S or N/S?
Good question mate, check the Ibanez web site bro 🤘🧟♂️🤘
@@PaulGlover Did that, that's why I reached out, I'll contact Ibanez bro
@rocinblues sorry mate, yeah some one will know bud. Good luck mate
@@PaulGlover Frets on this model are N/S per Ibanez
@@rocinblues thanks buddy!!!!
I just ordered...

@@71GA I mean you're just comparing €2600 with this Ibanez which is €1400... duh.
Wish it came with a trem! Missed opportunity, ibanez. Smh.
The 7 string does if thats your thang? I just live the 652 it has been my favourite ibanez now for years. Looks better than ever this year. 🤟🧟♂️🤟
@@PaulGlover I do like the 7 string, but I wanted a 6 with a trem :(

This model does come with a trem variant. Have a look at the official ibanez website. Greetings
