Here for sale we have an Ibanez RG1527 Prestige in Royal Blue finish. Made in Japan in 2006, this guitar is part of Ibanez's ‘Prestige’ line of instruments, and features a bolt-on construction comprising a Basswood body, 5-piece Maple/Wenge neck and 24 Jumbo fret Rosewood fingerboard. Cosmo Black hardware is fitted including a Ibanez Edge Pro 7 tremolo bridge and a set of Gotoh SG381 machine heads. The pickups installed in an HH configuration consist of a Bare Knuckle humbucker in the bridge and a Ibanez V77 in the neck position. These are wired to a 5-way blade selector, master volume and a master tone control.

 

The 5-piece Maple/Wenge neck sits comfortably in the hand with the 1.900” nut spacing not being cumbersome. The Ultra Prestige neck profile feels incredibly ergonomic, allowing for great thumb placement all across the neck, whilst the Rosewood fingerboard and Jumbo frets provide a robust playing experience that feels rock solid under the fingers, while enhancing string bending and vibrato techniques. The 15” provides an even and balanced feel across the strings, particularly in drop tunings. The contoured neck heel provides unobstructed access to the upper register, which works great with the double cutaway body design. 

 

Amplified, this guitar has a thick low end grunt and sculpted mid range thanks to the pickups featured. The Bareknuckle humbucker in the bridge position delivers powerful but balanced rock and metal tones with rich upper-midrange harmonic content. The low strings are tight and the high strings scream with harmonics, making it a go-to pickup for hard-hitting crunch rhythms and blazing lead tones. The Ibanez V77 humbucker in the neck position offers all the soloing clarity you could wish for, with sweet sustain and a warm, full sound that still possesses a clear attack providing a hot output delivering smooth, fluid solo tones under gain, while still being capable of bell-like clean tones.

 

Please be aware that for international buyers import fees are not included in our postage and packaging cost, this only covers the cost of the guitar being sent to you. Import fees will be charged by Customs upon the guitar's arrival in the recipient country. Due to Brexit, this also applies to EU buyers. We advise checking the total import cost with Customs as this is not information we are able to accurately provide.

    Aesthetic Condition:

    Headstock: Overall very good condition, the front face demonstrates light scratching visible only under the direct lighting at certain angles. The edges demonstrate light indentations around the perimeter which do not pierce the finish. The most notable of these is apparent to the top rear edge. 

    Neck: Overall excellent condition, the fingerboard demonstrates very light scratching difficult to discern against the natural grain.

    Body: Overall very good condition, the edges of the body demonstrate finish repair that has been performed to an amateur standard, blue glitter has been applied to where the wood has been exposed. This is most notable to the treble side edge of the lower bout and by the neck screws. Further chipping that has not been repaired is apparent to the bass side edge of the lower bout. All aspects of the body demonstrate very light scratching visible only under direct lighting at certain angles.  Both corners of the neck pocket demonstrate small finish cracks, common with bolt-on necks not affecting structure.
