Opinions on the RG2770FM

[feylya]

Hey, I'm thinking about trying to save and get this:



Does anyone have any experiences or opinions about it?

Looks very nice. Shame about the skinny neck or I'd be tempted myself.

[Bluestreak]

That's the exact guitar I've been looking for. Shame it's not available in the US, or I'd go after one.

The J Customs are good guitars but not hugely different than many of the prestige guitars like the RG3120. Ibanez insists on making everything out of Mahogony with only a few exceptions.

All the J customs I played had 5 piece necks with what felt very much like the wizard profile.They were all pretty thin and were pretty similar to the RG 3120 profile.So structurally, the J Customs had 3 pieces of maple and 2 thin strips of something else, maybe bubinga.

The exchange rate is favorable between US and Japan so I say go for it.If I had the money, I'd import J customs and sell em like hot cakes.

except the RG2770 isn't a J Custom.

This looks like it'll cost me €1050 (I'm in Ireland) and that's without a case. Considering a Gibson Les Paul Studio is €1600 locally, that's a damn fine deal in my book.

Don't suppose anyone has any better pics of it besides what's on the Ishibashi site?

I have the Rg2720FM TB (the HH version of it), and I must say it is a wonderful guitar, looks beautiful, and plays beautifully

If you want, I could send you some pictures of it.

[feylya]

Yes, please do. I was looking at the 2720 as well. About €100 cheaper

feylya@gmail.com if you please Cheers

basically same as 2550, except offset dots and flame top.

i have a 2550 and really love mine. the thin neck and slick finish really suits my style.
