NGD: Ibanez RG350M YE

[Ibanez RG350DX]

Here's my new guitar, and it's a 2009 Limited Edition :-)

The headstock:


The whole guitar:


The guitar body:


Notice the already done ding on the downside of the headstock ;-)

Is the neck-humbucker ment to tilt downwards, so that it's deeper in the scratchplate at the end of the neck, than next to the middle, single-coil?

It's tilting downwards, as said, and it can't be straightened up, so I think it's ment to be like that, but... It seems kinda weird, actually :-)

It's sitting on, or being pulled by, its own cable. Easy enough to fix but not a massive problem to leave it that way.

I'm loving my 350M :

OK, so I can loosen the scratchplate, move the cable, and then I set it back, and in the end, it's better set-up, and straight, instead of tilt-backwards?

Btw, thx, m8 :-)

Yup, that should do it.

How's that Edge III trem? I hated mine.

I love yellow guitars.

Especially MarkE's....nice mods!

I would gladly have binned mine when I got the guitar but once I found and adjusted both of the little tension screws on the back of the arm socket it works fine.

It doesn't have the same feeling of weight, smoothness and quality as the original Edge in my RG520 but it holds its tuning despite some serious abuse. Time will tell how well the knife edges and posts last out.

+1 here... It's not the Edge7 in my RG7620 but it does the job quite fine. I tuned the guitar only once since I got mine.

Only time will tell and anyway, my Edge7 does sometime pisses me off!!!

My trusty 350 hasn't had to be tuned in months, IIIs are fine.

They really seem to be hit and miss. I've owned 3 Edge III's. None of them lasted the test of time. I actually only own two now, as the last one I bought in 2007, managed to do something like this --

Lasted about a year with '11 gauge strings tuned to Eb.
