Not sure which kind this one is in particular. And some of Ibanez's tremolo systems are definitely liked more than others. Keep in mind too that the EX has a tremolo, which at this point has probably seen a lot of wear and tear. Some of the newer budget RGs already come with a 5-way switch for some cool sounds too, though the RG3 might be a 3-way. You can always get a push-pull tone pot to get series parallel on your neck humbucker for a single-coil sound, not a very expensive mod. From what I have seen, people see the v7/v8 pickups as an improvement. (And many would argue that manufacturing in the budget lines especially has improved a lot in that time.) Sure, you have a single coil middle, but the pickups look like the INF pickups, which are not very liked if you look around. A non-MIJ budget RG today (which is basically what this was 20 years ago) costs $300 new. So you're looking at a ~20 year old budget model RG made in Korea, for $245. They presumably were named differently to prevent them from possibly hurting the reputation of the RG name, although some markets already did have some Korean made RG models." The EX (short for "Experimental") models were RG-like guitars produced in Korea instead of Japan as a more affordable alternative. "The Ibanez EX series is a series of electric guitars produced by Hoshino Gakki, first introduced in 1988. Here's what the Ibanez wiki says on the EX series: Some of the more popular models include the RGA, with an arched body shape, and the RG7/RG8 extended range models.I would get the RG3. Many models, including the originals, boast Ibanez Edge locking tremolo unitsĪ number of different models and configurations exist under the RG umbrella.An ultra-thin neck for speedy playability this has become an Ibanez design staple.A flat fingerboard for a comfortable, ergonomic playing experience.24-frets, meaning a huge range for shredders and soloists.Deep cutaways for easy high fret access.Some of its key design appointments include: It's become a cornerstone of the Ibanez approach, embodying their knack for precision, speed and punchy tonal response that's just as popular now and it was in the '80s. Despite the number of variations, the instrument has remained the same at its core. The RG has seen a number of major overhauls, with a massive variety of models in production over the years. Used by a huge variety of artists worldwide since its inception in 1987, it's widely considered to be the best-selling Superstrat-style guitar of all time. The flagship Ibanez model, the RG is among some of the most recognisable and legendary guitars of all time.
