Rob Balducci: lotw on the mean green ibanez rg prestige

Rob Balducci says:
Welcome to the new LOTW! I have been getting a bunch of requests to talk about my Ibanez Guitars.

This is my second LOTW dedicated to showing my axes. I love this guitar and I always get great compliments
regarding this guitar. It is a Ibanez LA custom shop RG Prestige. I am fortunate to be involved with Ibanez for the past 15 year. I have always loved these guitars and i think they make the best in the world. Nobody comes even close. This guitar has a mahogany body with a quilted maple top. It has a rosewood finger board. The back of the neck is maple with a babinga strip going up through the headstock. I have two humbuckers, Dimarzio of course.
I am using the Steve special in the bridge ( put in reverse) and an Air Norton in the neck. The 3 way toggle and volume and tone knobs are moved down so they do not mess with my plcking hand. The guitar has an edge pro
on it which is awesome and I have a custom built hand rest on the bridge so I can rest my hand on the guitar without going sharp. Check out Steve Sandy who in on my forum(www.robbalducci.com/forum) from time to time, he built it and they are awesome. On the neck I hav treble side dot markers. I feel this is a better place rather then the bass side. I also have the libra symbol inlay between the 11 and 13 frets. I hope you guys dig it! This guitar is like the Ibanez RG Prestige you can find at your local music stores, only thing is I get custom colors and a few modifications because of my endorsment. Rock Ibanez!!! I used this guitar a lot on Violet Horizon.

Thanks
RB
