Guitar player from 3 doors down playing an Ibanez?

I just watched a video of a new video from the band 3 Doors Down and I think the lead guitar player is playing an Ibanez RG of some kind. Anyone know what kind of Rg it is? The song is "When I'm Gone"

He has always played Ibanez. He used to be using the SC series (I think) exclusively, but this one definitely looks like an RG.

It really sounds like an Rg too

I can't really say much about a specific RG sound, as I've never really noticed. I doubt he's got stock V7/8 pickups in there anyways, so it's more a matter of what pickups he's got loaded, as well as the wood. I dunno, it could be an S-series of some sort, or an RG. I didn't really get a good look.

Here's a quote I found on the net

"Ibanez: Which guitars are you currently playing?

Matt Roberts:I'm playing a custom, 24 fret SA160 that the kind people at Ibanez built for me. I'm also playing a stock RG520. Those are my two main guitars on stage right now.

Ive seen him using the stock pickups before. He used to use the stock esp ltd pickups as well. I dont think he cares honestly.

You are probably right. He's not exactly an awsome guitar player but I do like his sound.

I saw him last year on an award show doing Kryptonite-he was playing what looked like an S series with LED's on the fretboard instead of the dots-it looked pretty kewl...
