Get the RG, it's a better guitar and you'll still like it after your 16th birthday

Re: xiphos or rg1570

I've never played a Xiphos before. But love the looks, so if it plays nice, buy it.
On the other hand, you can't go wrong with a RG1570 and a set of Dimarzio pickups.

Re: xiphos or rg1570

Isn't the Xiphos one of the MII models? I'm sick and tired of RG shapes, so I'd go for the Xiphos if they made a higher end model.

Re: xiphos or rg1570

I prefer the Xiphos. Being a long-time Charvel Model 6 player, a bound, neck-thru guitar just feels like home to me. Plus, you don't have to change the pups. One negative I found is when you stand up, it nose-dives pretty bad. I've read that some people move the upper strap button to fix this though. The RG has a better bridge, but you've already said you would swap to a OFR. Get something different, go with the Xiphos!

Re: xiphos or rg1570

Has to be the RG. Versatile. Well made. The Xiphos looks like a metal guitar and that's all it'll ever be, plus of course MII quality isn't up to MIJ Prestige level.

Re: xiphos or rg1570

I'd go Xiphos. I dont understand this whole "Xiphos guitars are for 15 year olds" thing. It's a great metal guitar. Several of my buddies who are a decade or more past "teenager" own 'em and love 'em.
