Ibanez RG 25TH Limited Edition



The Ibanez  RG was developed in the 80s as the Roadstar (RG stands for Roadstar Guitar) and it soon earned a reputation as a pedal-to-the-metal shred machine. Although there are RG players in a range of genres, the metal guitarist continues to be the die-hard RG player. The 25th Anniversary RG sports a "best of" collection of features favored by RG fans.

Specifications :

Body :  Basswood body, Neck Wood : 3pc Maple, Neck Type : Wizard III, Fingerboard : Rosewood, Frets : 24- Jumbo frets, Inlay :Colored dot inlay, Bridge :Edge Zero II bridge w/ZPS3Fe, Neck Pickup : INF3, Middle Pickup : INFS3, Bridge Pickup : INF4, Hardware Color : Black , Color : Fluorescent Pink,Fluorescent Yellow

Features :
  • The Edge II Zero with the back plate removed. The system’s performance and flexibility is based upon its spring/counter-spring design.
  •  For the player who prefers the tremolo to snap hard to the zero point (as with a flutter effect) removal of the cross bar and counter-spring is quick and easy.
  • Here the back cover plate is in place. Open slots reveal a spring adjustment knob (far left) and view of the spring’s level of compression.
  •  Solidly anchoring each component is a major part of creating great sustain. These stud bolts contain inner set screws that expand the outer bolt, marrying bridge to body, thereby maximizing string vibration.

Fender Kurt Cobain Mustang®





Kurt Cobain (Nirvana) always hit the stage, he always use a Mustang® guitar-an enigmatic anti-hero figure with an esoteric anti-hero instrument. It’s with great pride then that Fender introduces the Kurt Cobain Mustang, which evokes the man, the band, the sound and the times, and gives an authentically crafted nod to one of the most unlikely guitars to ever find itself at the center of a musical maelstrom.Kurt Cobain liked Mustangs a lot. For one, he preferred offbeat guitars that didn’t cost zillions of dollars, and the Mustang certainly fit those two criteria. Also, being somewhat physically diminutive himself, he liked to perform live with slightly more diminutive guitars, like Fender Mustangs and Jaguars, which better fit his hands and his reach.

See for yourself-go back and watch the famous 1991 video for “Smells Like Teen Spirit,” and there he is and there it is slung over his shoulder. Or think back to when you saw them on the ’93-’94 In Utero tour, when he seldom went onstage with anything but a Mustang. Quite often and especially later on, Mustangs were a big part of what Kurt Cobain was all about, musically.
