Im trying to find the worth of an Ibanez RG 1XXV PINK in 2018
A guy is trying to trade this for my Ibanez RGDIX6MPB-SBB
do you think its a fair trade?

What I like to do is check how they sold on Reverb. To do that, just add "&showsold=1" to URL of your search results.

So for example:
https://reverb.com/marketplace?query=ibanez%20RG1XXV&showsold=1

And to answer your question - seems like they sell anywhere between 600 and 850 USD. Which largely overlaps with prices for RGDIX6MPB, although you can find those cheaper sometimes.

Would you do the trade if you were me? This is my first "decently priced" guitar. But I really want a Floyd rose, im scared that it would be a stupid idea

Just my thoughts here, but I think they are in the same ballpark price-wise... I would play the guitar before making a trade if I were in your shoes. I had an RG3XXV and loved the way it sounded, but it did have some sharp fret ends and a couple of high frets. The Edge II trem and ZPS3 worked great, but had a much stiffer feel to it than an original Edge tremolo. I ended up selling it, but if I could go back I'd keep the guitar and have the fretwork done to get it finely tuned. It might have been the best sounding guitar I ever had, although it had different pickups than the RG1XXV you are looking at. If you can, go try it out and see what you think... it will definitely have a different feel with the tremolo and shorter scale length. Good luck!

Its been setup by a known luthier here, he said the owner did a full setup on it when he first got it. We've setup the dates and were going to test them out on Saturday. Thanks guys! Cheers!
