Personal Reflection:
The 2007 Ibanez RG1570 Prestige in “Mirage Red” has a finish that demands attention, shifting between rich reds and darker hues depending on the light—a real standout on stage or in the studio. This guitar is built for players who value speed and precision, with its Super Wizard HP neck providing an ultra-thin profile for fast, effortless playing. It’s perfect for shredders and technical players who want quick response and effortless playability.
The combination of the V7, S1, and V8 pickups gives this guitar incredible tonal versatility. From powerful humbucker crunch to smooth single-coil tones, it’s a great choice for players who need a range of sounds in one guitar. Ben, who has a real soft spot for Ibanez models, is especially impressed with this setup, saying, “The Super Wizard neck just feels lightning-fast, and with the versatile pickup configuration, you’re not locked into one style. It’s perfect for everything from metal to fusion.”
The Edge Pro tremolo is another highlight, known for its stability and reliability, even with heavy whammy bar use. Whether you’re doing subtle vibratos or full dive bombs, this tremolo system is ready for the task, with rock-solid tuning stability.
Condition Report:
This RG1570 is in excellent condition for a 2007 model, with only a couple of very small dings around the side bout. These are purely cosmetic and barely noticeable unless closely examined. The Mirage Red finish retains its stunning color-shifting effect, and the hardware is in fantastic shape. The fretboard and frets show minimal wear, making this guitar stage-ready and set to inspire.
