Ibanez RG series RG 350MDX Electric Guitar Review

The Ibanez RG 350MDX Electric Guitar takes the Ibanez RG series further into the metal zone. With the right choice of pickups, flat and fast bolt-on neck and double-locking trems, the Ibanez RG 350MDX Electric Guitar has dive bombed and crunched its way to classic status. Though it rocks heavy, this electric guitar is made of comparatively lightweight basswood, which makes it very comfortable for extended playing. With a good balance of highs and lows, basswood is between alder and mahogany in sound character. 24 jumbo frets and a fast Wizard II neck offer easy playing for leads and rhythm, and an Edge III bridge offers great tremolo control.

The only inlay is the “Apex” logo at the 12th fret. Just like Munky does, this guitar is tuned at the factory to A-D-G-C-F-A-D.
