[Update on the 3rd May: I'm playing this guitar more than my other guitars these last days. There's no way you're not going to like it; the playing is very smooth and easy due to the low action and the tone through my Zoom G3 sounds very much PAF-like. Usually on this price range we don't expect the pickups to be great, but I'm really digging these ones.]

Sales on relic guitars are low this year so here I am with another very good business I've came across here in France. I remember seeing this model some years ago but it didn't last long.

First, there's a crack on the neck joint, but it's just the finish, NOT the wood itself. I've set the neck completely straight like I do on all of my guitars, lowered the strings the most possible and worked it from there. It needed a very, very slight curb because the frets were buzzing by the 8th and 9th fret. Gave it also a slight fret level on the highest frets followed by polish.

Would I swap the pickups? I was very surprised by these ACH-S humbuckers. Maybe they don't work so well on other guitars, but this DN300 is very good! I play on a Zoom G3 (which IMO has only 3 or 4 good amp sims) directly to a Harley Benton pedal amp and then on a 212 cab with HH speakers and it sounds lovely, clean or gain. They're quite sensitive, they react well to volume changes, and very impressive sustainability. Overall, I wouldn't swap a thing for now; maybe the machine heads later, for some Sperzels or Gotoh. But not now.

Just in case you're wondering about the strings action: 1,5mm in the high E at the 22th fret, and 2mm (middle of the string) on the low E at the 22th fret too. Good enough for you? (My YT video is not great, but you can have an idea on how it sounds!)

Cheers!

Here I am again! This is a kind of an Ibanez partscaster, my favorite brand since almost 20 years.

I bought a set of hardware taken from an Ibanez RG2550E Prestige in 2024 and later found a neck from a 2011 Ibanez RG350DXZ here in France. The seller had also the body on sale for 25€ but the post holes were broken. Later I've found a really nice german guy that had just posted a white body of a 2005 Ibanez RG350 on sale, same color side to side. I had already done some research about the Edge III and I knew the Edge Pro was a direct swap so I bought it.

Bought a loaded Fleor HSS pickguard and an RG350 HSS pickguard on AliYouKnowWhere, and transfered the whole thing. The pickguard fell right on, all the screws were at the right place, but I had to do a quick drilling on the body to acomodate the wires and the first tone pot. Nothing serious, you can see these stages at the latest photos.

The tuners were not a problem, I was super happy! The neck joint took me 20 minutes to be perfect. The neck was about 1mm larger, maybe less, but after sanding both sides of the cavity everything fell smoothly into place. I thought the project would take a while to be ready but finally a weekend was enough. On a Sunday afternoon I leveled the frets, set the strings, action, and tuned the octaves. A new back plate and truss rod cover and it got ready the next week.

You will be receiving the string retainer and the 2 original knobs from the RG2550 in case one day you decide to go back to the original HSH or even a HH configuration. The Fleor Alnico 5 HSS set is quite reasonable! The single coils would need a bit more bite in my opinion but they're quiet, and the humbucker is the best of all 3 without a doubt. The video was made plugging it to my Zoom G3, Harley Benton power amp pedal and a 212 cab with HH speakers.

 I took the neck off because there was something bothering me; the action was good but it could be better and in my opinion the neck was too bowed torwards the interior. I like my other RG guitars's neck basically straight or almost. So I took about 1,5mm of cardboard and shimmed the neck, and that's what it was missing. Obviously the Edge Pro is now higher, just at the level of the side mark, and the neck is now almost straight and with an even action: 1,2mm at the high E and 2mm at the middle of the lower E string, which was quite an impovement specially from the 5^th to the 12/15^th frets were the bow was too much. Yup guys, been playing it a mot more since.

Cheers!
