Best place to order an RG2228

[Metallic00]

I'm thinking either drumcityguitarland or Ibanez Rules.

Do DCGL set them up before sending them? How much is shipping usually from them (I think you have to send them the order before they give you shipping options)? I know IR set it up but I'm not sure if it's worth the extra $100 or so (that is if DCGL's shipping is cheap).

So does anyone have any recommendations?

Also, how do you like the RG2228?

Edit: forgot there was a prestige forum.. feel free to move this.

I've had to send guitars back to DCGL before. I don't know if they setup them before they ship them, but if they do it's not a very good setup. If I remember right the shipping from them was relatively cheap.

As for Ibanez Rules, anyone will tell you if you order from Rich your guitar will come as setup as posssible. It's up to you, but you would probably have to pay for a setup anyway after getting it from DCGL, unless you can do it yourself..

Don't cheap out on your 100$ my friend. Rich actually checks his inventory and rejects guitars that don't pass his standards. He does an amazing set-up and it's literally plug and play. You don't have to buy from him , his business isn't dying. But i've learnt that when it comes to Ibanez, he is the man. He loves these guitars and you more than know it when you play them. If i lived in the states, i would purchase from him only, but il only make exceptions to when i am have to have something. As amazing as the experience is, the Custom raped me with their fees.

If you can read through half this page and not feel you're getting way more than your moneys worth, then nobody can say anything to sway you

If you're deciding between DCGL and Rich, I'd go with Rich, no question. Even if it cost a few bucks more.

I've gotten a guitar or two from him, and it's like he's got this pouch of magic dust that he sprinkles on them, so when you open up the case and pick it up and play it, you're like "wow..."
