With the Ibanez Genesis Collection, Ibanez returns to the roots of RG from 1987. Classical shapings authentically depict the famous Super Strats of the Japanese guitar maker, while authentic hardware in the form of Ibanez V7/V8 pickups, Ibanez Edge Tremolo and slim Super Wizard maple necks provide juicy sounds and proven handling.
The Ibanez Genesis RG521 represents the RG rear-load construction within the Genesis line-up and has a double Ibanez V7/V8 humbucker assembly. A fixed Gibraltar Standard II bridge provides a direct resonance transmission and attack-rich and responsive sounds.
Overview:
RG Electric Guitar from the Ibanez Genesis Collection
This is my 5th guitar (my 3rd Ibanez) and, to be honest, this is the best guitar I own. The other two Ibanez are the Premium RG721MSM and the Prestige UV777P-BK.
It's really comfy despite the neck joint and the pickups sound really clean despite the fact they are not DiMarzios.
The only thing I missed was a case for the guitar, but I paid 851€. 11/10 value for the money.

You know what you’re getting with this. Pure 80s metal cheese with state of the art Japanese craftsmanship. Some people might prefer more modern pickups, but that almost defeats the whole putpose of this guitar. Mega playable bending and dive bombing heaven! The finish is amazing as is the setup. Plays and feels as good as guitars at twice the value. Highly recommended.
